The Detroit Lions will not have two starting offensive linemen for their game against the Buffalo Bills on Thursday Night Football. Christian Mahogany and Blake Miller have both been ruled out due to injuries. Additionally, starting cornerback D.J. Reed is questionable with a foot injury. The Lions must make adjustments as they head into Buffalo's Highmark Stadium, especially after relying on a patchwork offensive line in earlier games. Although center Juice Scruggs and defensive back Christian Izien have been cleared for action, Detroit's depth will be tested against a strong opponent.
