  "account": "The Detroit Lions are set to play their starters in the first preseason game against the Washington Commanders, a move that may have some questioning which players should sit out. Coach Dan Campbell indicated that this decision may be the first time in several years that they are playing their starters in a preseason game. Players such as Jared Goff, Amon-Ra St. Brown, Jahmyr Gibbs, Aidan Hutchinson and Jamo have not played in preseason football since 2022. Of these, it is suggested that Jahmyr Gibbs and Jared Goff in particular should not play in the preseason.",
