Goff (oblique), who is listed as doubtful for Sunday's game against the Browns, isn't expected to be active in a backup capacity this week and could face an uphill battle to gain clearance for the Lions' Thanksgiving Day matchup with the Bears next week, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.

Though the Lions have named Tim Boyle (thumb) their Week 11 starter following his return from injured reserve Friday, Detroit had some hope that Goff would be available as his understudy even while he manages the oblique injury. After sitting out a trio of practices this week, however, Goff apparently didn't demonstrate enough progress to dress against the Browns, so David Blough is set to back up Boyle while Goff will be included among the Lions' inactive list, which will be released 90 minutes prior to kickoff. Due to the quick turnaround for the Lions' Week 12 matchup, Goff looks to be at major risk of missing a second straight game, but the Lions will see what he's able to do over the next few days before deciding whether he's able to play Thanksgiving Day.
