The Detroit Lions have several key players missing from practice, including a pair of All-Pro players. While the exact details of the absent players are not specified, we can look at the current injury report and recent transactions to get an idea of who might be missing.

Injured Players:

– Aidan Hutchinson: The Lions’ star defensive end suffered a season-ending injury, ruling him out for the remainder of the season.

– D.J. Reed: The cornerback is currently on injured reserve after suffering an injury, which will keep him sidelined for a while.

– Khalil Dorsey: The cornerback was placed on injured reserve on October 8, after the Lions signed tackle Dan Skipper to the active roster.

– Marcus Davenport: The edge rusher is on reserve/injured, which will keep him out of action for a while.

– Levi Onwuzurike: The defensive lineman is on physically unable to perform (PUP) list, which means he’ll miss at least the first few weeks of the season.

– Alim McNeill: The defensive lineman is also on PUP list, similar to Onwuzurike.

Recent Transactions:

The Lions have been active in making roster moves, including signing veterans to replace injured players. Some notable signings include ¹:

– Arthur Maulet: The veteran cornerback was signed to the practice squad to provide depth in the secondary.

– Tre Flowers: The cornerback was signed to the practice squad, adding more depth to the position.

– Dan Skipper: The tackle was signed to the active roster from the practice squad, likely to replace injured tackles.

The absence of these key players will undoubtedly impact the Lions’ performance on the field. However, the team’s depth and recent signings might help mitigate the losses. We’ll have to wait and see how the team adjusts to the absence of these players and whether they can maintain their winning streak.
