Overview
- Detroit declared five players out for Week 18: RT Penei Sewell (ankle), LB Alex Anzalone (concussion/personal), S Thomas Harper (concussion), DT Alim McNeill (abdomen) and OL Trystan Colon (wrist).
- The Lions placed Colon on injured reserve and elevated OT Chris Hubbard and TE Zach Horton from the practice squad for added depth.
- Gio Manu was not activated from injured reserve and was downgraded to out, removing him as an option at tackle.
- Either Dan Skipper or the newly elevated Hubbard is expected to start at right tackle in Sewell’s place.
- Dan Campbell plans to play healthy starters, with Amon‑Ra St. Brown trending toward suiting up and LT Taylor Decker expected back, while the Bears can clinch the NFC’s No. 2 seed with a win or an Eagles loss.
