The Detroit Lions will be shorthanded on Sunday, and their finalized Friday injury report underscores just how much attrition they’re dealing with heading into their Week 18 matchup against the Chicago Bears.
Detroit ruled out five starters, including two cornerstone pieces up front and one of the league’s most reliable linebackers. Penei Sewell (ankle) will miss Sunday’s game, a massive blow to an offensive line already under stress.
Alim McNeill (abdomen) and Alex Anzalone (concussion/personal) are also officially out, removing two core pieces from the middle of Detroit’s defense. Safety Thomas Harper (concussion) and interior lineman Trystan Colon (wrist) round out a lengthy list of absences that will test the Lions’ depth on both sides of the ball.
The Lions do have several key contributors trending toward availability, though nothing is guaranteed. Wide receiver Amon-Ra St. Brown is officially listed as questionable after missing Wednesday’s practice with knee and ankle issues before logging limited sessions Thursday and Friday. His status looms large against a Bears defense that was gashed last week and will be eager to rebound.
Along the offensive line, Taylor Decker (shoulder/illness/rest), Kayode Awosika (illness), Christian Mahogany (illness), and Giovanni Manu (knee) all carry questionable tags, leaving Detroit’s protection picture unsettled entering the weekend.
One piece of positive news for the Lions comes in the secondary, where Avonte Maddox practiced in full on both Thursday and Friday and does not carry an injury designation. Still, with Sewell out, McNeill sidelined, and Anzalone unavailable to quarterback the defense, this injury report paints a clear picture: Detroit will arrive at Soldier Field undermanned, thin in the trenches, and vulnerable in areas the Bears are well-positioned to attack as they push for momentum heading into the postseason.
