Lions downgrade Jonah Jackson to doubtful, promote two from practice squad

Allen Park — The Detroit Lions' injury situation seemingly continues to get a little bit worse by the day.

On Saturday, the day before the team's Week 2 matchup against the Washington Commanders, the Lions downgraded guard Jonah Jackson to doubtful.

Jackson suffered a finger injury during Wednesday's practice and was held out of the final two sessions to end the week. On Friday, he was spotted on the sideline with the ring finger on his right hand heavily taped.

With Jackson now unlikely to play, the Lions are facing the prospect of starting three backups along the interior of the team's offensive front.
