The Detroit Lions faced a tough defeat against the Buffalo Bills, losing 48-42, but the aftermath has been even more challenging due to significant injuries on their defense.

Defensive lineman Alim McNeill has sustained a torn ACL, while cornerback Carlton Davis III will require surgery for a fractured jaw, sidelining him for at least six weeks. Coach Dan Campbell also indicated that cornerback Khalil Dorsey is likely done for the season with an ankle injury.

With 13 players already on injured reserve, the Lions' defense has been heavily impacted. Star defensive end Aidan Hutchinson, who fractured his tibia and fibula earlier this season, may have a chance to return for the Super Bowl if the team advances.

As the 12-2 Lions prepare to take on the Chicago Bears next, they must navigate these injuries while aiming for a successful postseason.
