Tuesday practice report for Lions
Following a narrow 31-30 overtime triumph against the New Orleans Saints to kick off the 2026 campaign, the Detroit Lions have encountered significant health concerns ahead of their quick turnaround against the Buffalo Bills on Thursday. In their initial Week 2 practice documentation released Tuesday, Detroit listed starting cornerback D.J.
Reed as an addition to the roster of injured players. The issues are particularly concentrated along the offensive front, where general manager Brad Holmes must lean on rebuilt depth.
Third-year left guard Christian Mahogany missed practice after sustaining a hip ailment during the season opener, leaving head coach Dan Campbell to offer an uncertain outlook regarding the 25-year-old, who previously edged out Ben Bartch in training camp. The offensive line woes compound with Cade Mays sidelined by a broken wrist and center Juice Scruggs also dealing with physical setbacks.
Meanwhile, rookie right tackle Blake Miller was marked as a non-participant due to a knee issue, though he maintains optimism regarding his availability.
