Sorry, off topic from all the coach talk. Brock mentioned in a thread that Quincy Wilson and Jalen (****) Tabor have been healthy scratches. Figured this what be a good place to post that info. When will NFL teams learn?

"Asked about Wilson’s potential to contribute Sunday, Monachino said, “When we’re out here at practice, he’s gotta know that every down counts. … And if it’s third down and medium, he’s got to play tight coverage. And if he can’t, he can’t be out there. So, it’s not a matter of effort, and it’s not even a matter of intelligence or want-to. He just has to show us on the practice field that he is dialed in and ready to go and mature enough to never take a down off mentally. And that’s where he is right now.”
Detroit Lions' **** Tabor 'doing everything right,' waits to see field
The Lions entered this season in dire need of defensive reinforcements and have largely been getting help from rookie LBs Jarrad Davis and Jalen Reeves-Maybin, who have been constant contributors.
Largely missing from the fray? Tabor, who was a healthy scratch for the first month of the season. Against the New Orleans Saints last weekend, Tabor finally dressed and saw his first game action. That’s the good news. The bad news?
Tabor saw four snaps on defense plus nearly 20 reps on special teams without logging so much as a single tackle. For a player formerly romanticized as the potential best cornerback in the NFL draft, Tabor has struggled greatly with the speed of the game. His non-impact effort after not dressing for the first five weeks is a frustrating start for a physically powerful corner.
