Lions, Bills injury report: 3 OL start week injured

Detroit emerged victorious in their 2026 opener with a tight 31-30 overtime triumph against New Orleans, though the physical toll on their offensive front quickly became apparent. Starting left guard Christian Mahogany hurt his hip during the contest, prompting head coach Dan Campbell to offer a cautious outlook on his condition ahead of a quick turnaround for a Thursday matchup with Buffalo.

The line is already coping with the absence of Cade Mays due to a broken wrist, and three offensive linemen were designated on the team's opening injury log for the week.

Additional roster concerns linger for the upcoming road clash with quarterback Josh Allen and the Bills, as defensive back Avonte Maddox also confronts an injury worry, while Christian Izien had previously entered the opening contest tagged as questionable. On a brighter note, rookie offensive tackle Blake Miller enjoyed a prominent NFL debut in Sunday's victory after Christian Mahogany had previously secured the starting assignment over Ben Bartch during preseason training.
