Week 5 is the first bye week of the 2024 NFL season.
The 2024 NFL season is well underway and the first four weeks of games are in the books. As the calendar flips to October and the weather grows ever-so-slightly chillier, the first bye weeks will appear on the schedule.
The Chargers have announced themselves as a bit of a surprise by winning two games, but Justin Herbert's sprained ankle is clearly hindering him. This bye comes at a good time in that department. Not just for Herbert but for L.A.'s extremely talented pair of tackles, Rashawn Slater and Joe Alt, who both missed their team's Week 4 17-10 loss to the Kansas City Chiefs.
The Lions are a good team trying to make the jump to a great team. A tricky jump to make, where the improvements mostly lie in the margins. The bye week is a good time for Dan Campbell to fine-tune on both sides of the ball. Jared Goff is still rounding into form, as is playcaller Ben Johnson. Defensively the new-look secondary still has to click and this week could help them to that end; Detroit won't go anywhere if they can't stop the other team.
In Detroit, center Frank Ragnow is a pivotal part of their offensive line and partially tore his pectoral muscle against the Arizona Cardinals in Week 3. While his status is up in the air for the rest of the year offensive linemen are tough individuals. If anything, more clarity on his availability for the long-term could come with further medical evaluation this week.
