Lions Expect to Be Without Penei Sewell for Finale in Chicago

Dan Campbell intends to rely on internal depth at tackle.

Overview

  • Penei Sewell missed a third straight practice Friday with an ankle injury and is considered unlikely to play, according to Dan Campbell.
  • Campbell said Jared Goff will start the Week 18 game and he intends to play available starters despite the Lions being 8-8 and eliminated from playoff contention.
  • Detroit does not plan to activate second-year tackle Giovanni Manu from injured reserve for the finale.
  • If Sewell sits, the Lions would turn to in-house options such as Dan Skipper, Miles Frazier or practice-squad tackle Devin Cochran.
  • Wide receiver Amon-Ra St. Brown is trending toward playing, while defensive tackle Alim McNeill is expected to miss the game with an oblique issue.
