The final injury report for the Detroit Lions for Thursday’s matchup at Ford Field against the Buffalo Bills is not good news for the upset-minded Lions.
The combination of a physically taxing win over the New York Giants and a short week to recover took its toll. Both starting guards, Evan Brown and Jonah Jackson, will miss the game with injuries. So will top CB Jeff Okudah, who is out with a brain injury suffered in New York.
The defensive side will also be shorthanded. Rookie DE Josh Paschal and veteran DE Charles Harris are both out for the second game in a row.
One other player, wide receiver Josh Reynolds, is questionable with a back injury. Reynolds was designated a full participant in practice on Wednesday.
Wideout DJ Chark is among four Lions who carried an injury status during the week but have no designation for Thursday’s game. That list also includes C Frank Ragnow, RB D’Andre Swift and LB Malcolm Rodriguez.
