Lions Rule Out Penei Sewell for Week 18, Put Trystan Colon on IR and Elevate Chris Hubbard

Detroit enters the finale prioritizing evaluation of depth pieces over activating Gio Manu.

Overview

  • Detroit ruled out five players for Chicago: RT Penei Sewell (ankle), LB Alex Anzalone (concussion/personal), S Thomas Harper (concussion), DT Alim McNeill (abdomen/oblique) and OL Trystan Colon (wrist).
  • The team placed Colon on injured reserve and promoted OT Chris Hubbard and TE Zach Horton from the practice squad.
  • With Sewell sidelined and Gio Manu not activated, right tackle is expected to be Dan Skipper or the newly elevated Hubbard.
  • WR Amon-Ra St. Brown and LT Taylor Decker are questionable, with Dan Campbell saying St. Brown is trending toward playing.
  • Detroit, 8-8 and out of playoff contention, is expected to expand snaps for younger players such as Tyleik Williams and Miles Frazier against a Bears team playing for seeding.
