The Lions will have to navigate Thursday’s contest without left guard Kayode Awosika, who was downgraded to out earlier in the day Thursday with a foot injury. We’ll see what the Lions opt to do filling his spot whether that’s Trystan Colon, rookie Miles Frazier or potentially shifting some players around.
Six players who were listed as questionable to play tonight on Wednesday’s practice report – left tackle Taylor Decker, center Graham Glasgow, right tackle Penei Sewell, St. Brown, defensive back Brian Branch and running back Sione Vaki – are all active.
Joining Awosika on Detroit’s inactive list tonight are: Wide receiver/returner Kalif Raymond, safety Kerby Joseph, tight end Hayden Rucci, defensive lineman Tyler Lacy and defensive lineman Mekhi Wingo. It will be the seventh straight game missed by Joseph with a knee injury after briefly returning to practice this week.
Prior to tonight’s important NFC contest, the Lions signed cornerback Nick Whiteside to the active roster from the practice squad and elevated wide receiver Malik Cunningham from the practice squad. Detroit also placed tight end Brock Wright on the Reserve/Injured list meaning he’ll be out at least Detroit’s next four contests.
