Well, Detroit Lions fans, at least you'll be getting a break from reading lengthy inactive reports for the next few months.
Ahead of the team's final 2025 bout, this time against the Chicago Bears on the road, several starters for Detroit were ruled out due to injury. Namely, Penei Sewell was named as an inactive player for Week 18. The star tackle is not worth risking, especially in such a meaningless contest for the Lions. Taylor Decker, his anchor on the opposite end of the line, was not on the inactive report.
In addition to Sewell, defensive lineman Alim McNeill was ruled out of this game.
