DETROIT (97.1 The Ticket) -- The Lions will get a familiar face back in the defensive secondary for Sunday's game against the Vikings, as DB Quandre Diggs has officially been ruled active.
Diggs and cornerback Darius Slay were both battling hamstring injuries but are both active for the NFC North tilt.
A pair of defensive linemen remain out, however, as Da'Shawn Hand and Mike Daniels were both named on the inactive list. Many had speculated that Hand could finally make his season debut in Week 7, but remains out.
