The Lions may have beaten the Giants, but it sounds like they lost Okudah for their Thanksgiving Day matchup against the Buffalo Bills.

After the conclusion of the game, Campbell spoke to reporters and he revealed that Okudah will not be able to play against the Bills.

“Yeah, he’ll be out,” Campbell said. “I can’t imagine, I’m pretty sure, we just talked about it, and I don’t think there’s any way possible he can play.”

The Lions will take on the Bills at Ford Field on Thursday afternoon beginning at 12:30 p.m. ET. With a win, the Lions would move to 5-6 on the season.
