As the Lions take on New England tonight at Gillette Stadium, you’ll see some squad rotation tonight ahead of Wednesday night’s home match against the Seattle Sounders.
Returning from injury, Adam Grinwis will get his second career MLS start. Grinwis recorded a clean sheet against Houston on September 22.
