Lions Rule Out Penei Sewell as Injuries Reshape Week 18 Finale

Dan Campbell says available starters will play despite elimination.

Overview

  • Detroit ruled out Penei Sewell (ankle), Alex Anzalone, Thomas Harper, Alim McNeill and Trystan Colon for Sunday at Chicago.
  • The team placed Colon on injured reserve, did not activate Gio Manu from IR and elevated tackle Chris Hubbard and tight end Zach Horton from the practice squad.
  • Either veteran Dan Skipper or Hubbard is expected to start at right tackle in Sewell’s place as the line shuffles for depth.
  • Amon-Ra St. Brown is questionable with knee and ankle issues but is described by Campbell as trending toward trying to play.
  • At 8-8 and out of the postseason, Detroit plans to compete and evaluate depth against a Bears team still playing for playoff seeding.
