Injuries have cost Da'Shawn Hand six games already this season, and they're about to cost him one more.

Hand, one of the Detroit Lions' best rookies in 2018, missed the first six games of this season with an elbow injury he suffered in the preseason, and the team ruled him out for Sunday's game against the Chicago Bears (3-5) with a sprained ankle.

Hand is one of three defenders who won't play Sunday, when the Lions (3-4-1) look for just their second win since September.
