Lions final injury report for Week 11: Jonah Jackson and Isaiah Buggs OUT against the Bears

As has been the case for most of the season, the Detroit Lions will play without their desired starting five on the offensive line on Sunday. Pro Bowl left guard Jonah Jackson will miss the Week 11 matchup with the Chicago Bears due to a wrist and ankle injury.

Jackson is one of two Lions ruled out for the NFC North matchup. Defensive tackle Isaiah Buggs will also miss the game due to an illness that kept him out of practice all week as well.

Beyond those two, the Lions are relatively healthy. Reserve defensive back Ifeatu Melifonwu is the only other player who has an injury status. Mlifonwu, who plays almost exclusively on special teams, is questionable with a hand injury.

The likely replacement for Jackson is to insert rookie Colby Sorsdal into the lineup. That could mean a shift from right guard to LG for Graham Glasgow, as Sorsdal has worked primarily on the right side at both guard and tackle. Expect rookie Brodric Martin to take Buggs’ spot in the DL rotation.
