ALLEN PARK, Mich. -- The Detroit Lions have placed Pro Bowl right guard T.J. Lang on injured reserve after he suffered a neck injury against Minnesota on Nov. 4.
Lang missed last week's game against Chicago with the injury and now, his season is over barring an unlikely playoff berth.
The 31-year-old signed with the Lions before the 2017 season from Green Bay as the team's replacement for Larry Warford, who had departed for New Orleans. Detroit gave the Royal Oak, Michigan native a three-year, $28.5 million contract to come home, beating out offers from Seattle and the Packers in the process.
