The Detroit Lions are the healthiest they've been in weeks and today's inactive report reflects just that.
The Lions are hosting the Buffalo Bills and MVP candidate quarterback Josh Allen in a much-anticipated interconference matchup at Ford Field. Detroit is getting back four players along their defensive front to help combat Allen and Buffalo's No. 2 ranked scoring offense (30.5 ppg).
Alim McNeill (concussion), DJ Reader (shoulder), Levi Onwuzurike (hamstring) and Josh Paschal (knee) are all back in the lineup this week. McNeill left last week's win over Green Bay in the first half with a concussion and didn't return. Reader, Onwuzurike and Paschal were all inactive vs. the Packers. With those four back in the lineup upfront for Detroit's defense, the team has made defensive linemen Myles Adams and Brodric Martin inactive.
Offensively, the Lions also get back left tackle Taylor Decker after he's missed the last two games with a knee injury. Decker only allowed two pressures total in wins vs. Jacksonville and Indianapolis before the injury. Inactive upfront along the offensive line for Detroit today are Colby Sorsdal, Kayode Awosika and Giovanni Manu.
The other two inactives for Detroit against the Bills are cornerback Emmanuel Moseley and linebacker Trevor Nowaske, who was ruled out on Friday's injury report with a concussion. Nowaske is the only injury-related inactive for the Lions today. They are pretty healthy and looking for their 12th straight victory.
