The Detroit Lions’ depth just took another hit. The team announced that one of their starting guards has been placed on injured reserve, sidelining him for at least the next four games. It’s a frustrating development for a unit that’s already battled injuries and inconsistency in recent weeks.
To fill the roster spot, the Lions promoted a linebacker from the practice squad, a move that reflects both the team’s growing injury list and their need for fresh legs on defense. Head coach Dan Campbell has emphasized next-man-up mentality all season, but losing another starter along the offensive line is a serious concern — especially with key divisional games ahead.
This latest setback comes just as Detroit is looking to regain momentum after a rocky few weeks. The offensive line has been the heart of the team’s identity, and any disruption there threatens to ripple through the entire offense. Still, if there’s one thing Lions fans know, it’s that this team doesn’t quit. Expect Detroit to lean on its depth, toughness, and signature grit as they fight to keep their playoff push on track.
