Two Lions Ruled Out, Ragnow Doubtful
The Detroit Lions will be without Jonah Jackson and David Montgomery for the second consecutive week.
On the final injury report revealed Saturday, both players were ruled out for the team's Monday Night Football showdown with the Las Vegas Raiders.
In addition, four players were ruled questionable for the showdown.
Frank Ragnow was ruled doubtful for Week 8.
Despite the potential of being down multiple linemen, Dan Campbell says the team still has plenty of options up front. Players such as Kayode Awosika, Colby Sorsdal and Dan Skipper have all been asked to contribute in the past.
"If it came to that, then yeah, that's one of the reasons Graham's here, man. His reliability and the fact that he's played multiple positions and he played, obviously, plenty of center last year and he's done it in this league," Campbell said. "A lot of confidence there, we've got (Awosika), we've got Sorsdal, we've got Skip, we've got all kinds of options."
The injuries could cause the Lions to explore a number of permutations regarding their offensive line. With versatility along the front, it allows Campbell to plug-and-play with the different players on the front line.
"If it came to that, we'd move Sewell into guard, move Skip to center, Graham stays at left," Campbell said. "We could, Decker go to center, you could move Sewell back to left, Skip goes to right guard, you've got (Awosika), (Vaitai) plays, so we're good."
