The Detroit Lions’ depth is being tested once again, as six players were absent from practice — and several of them were key members of the offensive line. It’s the kind of midseason development no team wants to see, especially with injuries already reshaping Detroit’s lineup in recent weeks.
Among those missing were multiple offensive linemen, a troubling sign for a unit that’s been struggling to stay healthy. The O-line has been the foundation of the Lions’ offensive success, giving Jared Goff time to operate and opening lanes for the backfield duo of Jahmyr Gibbs and David Montgomery. But with fresh absences piling up, continuity and chemistry are once again at risk.
Head coach Dan Campbell and his staff will need to monitor the situation closely as the team prepares for a crucial stretch in the NFC race. If the injured linemen can’t return soon, Detroit may have to rely on reserves — and that could spell trouble against upcoming opponents known for their defensive pressure.
