Overview
- The loss to Minnesota featured protection breakdowns — five sacks, 10 quarterback hits and 26 pressures — and a 65-yard rushing day that Campbell linked to communication lapses.
- Dan Campbell confirmed left guard Christian Mahogany has a broken bone and will miss extended time with hope for a late-December return.
- Penei Sewell and Taylor Decker are considered touch-and-go for this week and are not expected to practice on Wednesday.
- Detroit is evaluating internal replacements at guard, including Kayode Awosika and Trystan Colon, with Michael Niese and Kingsley Eguakun available on the practice squad, as Campbell remains noncommittal on trade moves.
- The team anticipates help on defense with Terrion Arnold back, D.J. Reed eligible to return from injured reserve, and Malcolm Rodriguez beginning his practice window, with more reinforcements expected later in the season.
