Lions Defensive Line Ailing Heading Into Week 14
6 mins agoDetroit Lions defensive linemen Josh Paschal (knee), Levi Onwuzurike (hamstring) and DJ Reader (shoulder) all missed the team's first practice of the week on Monday. In addition, offensive tackle Taylor Decker (knee) was unable to practice, although cornerback Carlton Davis (knee) was able to practice after missing last Thursday's win over the division-rival Chicago Bears. The Lions have already lost All-Pro pass-rusher Aidan Hutchinson (leg) for the remainder of the season and also placed linebacker Alex Anzalone (forearm) on Injured Reserve recently. Last Thursday's Thanksgiving game saw more injuries to their thinning defensive line. All three defensive linemen are in danger of missing this Thursday's contest against the division-rival Green Bay Packers, and their pass rush could be in an issue in postseason play.
