The Detroit Lions are grappling with significant injuries to their defense as they approach the playoffs. Following a recent loss to the Buffalo Bills, Carlton Davis has been placed on injured reserve due to a fractured jaw, with Coach Dan Campbell expressing pessimism about his return this season.
In the meantime, the team is looking to Emmanuel Moseley to step up as he recovers from a torn pectoral muscle. There is more positive news regarding running back David Montgomery, who may avoid season-ending surgery and could return for the postseason.
Additionally, safety Ifeatu Melifonwu is unlikely to play in the upcoming game against the Bears, while center Frank Ragnow is set to return to practice. The Lions are also managing the status of left guard Graham Glasgow, who may miss more time.
