Lions will be without starting nickelback against Vikings; Romeo Okwara to debut

Detroit — The Detroit Lions will be without starting nickelback Will Harris for Sunday's game against the Minnesota Vikings. Listed as questionable with a hip injury suffered mid-week, Harris was among Detroit's inactives for the game.

That decision had been foreshadowed by Detroit's Saturday transactions, which included the temporarily elevation of slot cornerback Jarren Williams off the practice squad.

Additionally, the Lions listed offensive lineman Evan Brown, guard Kayode Awosika, linebacker Derrick Barnes, defensive linemen Michael Brockers and Austin Bryant and wide receiver Tom Kennedy as inactive.

Awosika (ankle) had been ruled out Friday, while Brown (ankle) was doubtful coming into the game.
