The Detroit Lions are heading into Week 18 with several key starters appearing on the injury report as the team prepares for its regular-season finale. While some players made positive progress between Wednesday and Thursday, others remain sidelined as the team monitors their availability heading into the weekend.
Multiple offensive linemen, including Penei Sewell, Taylor Decker, Christian Mahogany, Kayode Awosika, and Giovanni Manu, appeared on the report — not ideal for a unit that has battled injuries late in the season. On the defensive side, Alex Anzalone and Thomas Harper remain in concussion protocol but were upgraded to limited participants Thursday, which is at least a step in the right direction.
Star wide receiver Amon-Ra St. Brown also appeared on the report with knee/ankle soreness. He was upgraded to limited participation on Thursday.
Here is the full updated injury list through Thursday’s practice.
