Detroit Lions Injury Report: Updates and News Heading into NFC Championship
Latest Injury Updates for 2023 Detroit Lions
The Detroit Lions are gearing up for the NFC Championship game, and the team's injury report is a major concern. Several key players are nursing injuries, and their availability for the game is uncertain.
Cornerback Anthony Averett Added to Practice Squad
On Thursday, the Lions signed veteran cornerback Anthony Averett to their practice squad. The move was made in response to the team's thin depth at the position. Averett has played in 48 games over the past three seasons, including 10 starts.
Frank Ragnow Returns, Taylor Decker Added to Injury Report
Pro Bowl center Frank Ragnow returned to practice on Thursday after missing the previous two games with a knee injury. However, tackle Taylor Decker was added to the injury report with a calf injury. Decker's availability for Sunday's game is questionable.
Penei Sewell Also Questionable with Ankle Injury
Starting right tackle Penei Sewell is also questionable for the NFC Championship game with an ankle injury. Sewell has been one of the Lions' best players this season, and his absence would be a major blow to the team's offense.
Other Injury Updates
* Wide receiver Amon-Ra St. Brown (ankle) is probable for Sunday's game. * Defensive end Aidan Hutchinson (ankle) is questionable. * Safety Tracy Walker (ankle) is questionable. * Punter Jack Fox (illness) is questionable. The Lions will need to manage their injuries carefully as they prepare for a tough matchup against the San Francisco 49ers. The 49ers are one of the most physical teams in the NFL, and the Lions will need to be at full strength to have a chance at winning.
