The Lions inactive players for the 2025 opener against the Green Bay Packers are now out.
Two players were known already after being ruled out due to injury. The Lions final injury report on Friday declared LB Trevow Nowaske and RB Sione Vaki each out for the Week 1 game. Jamarco Jones was also on the list, but the reserve offensive tackle was placed on I.R. on Saturday.
With Nowaske and Vaki out, that left four healthy scratches for the opener, three of them on the defensive line:
S Thomas Harper
DT Chris Smith
DL Mekhi Wingo
DE Tyrus Wheat
Wingo is coming off missing nearly all summer with a knee injury, so he might not be fully healthy.
