Detroit — For the second time this month, a lengthy ironman streak has fallen by the wayside for the Detroit Lions. Weeks after quarterback Matthew Stafford was sidelined by a back injury, snapping a streak of 136 consecutive starts, a pair of leg issues will keep defensive tackle Damon Harrison out of the Thanksgiving game against the Chicago Bears.
Harrison had appeared in 109 consecutive games, the longest streak in the NFL at his position. He exited last week's game against Washington with a knee injury in the fourth quarter and also was dealing with a strained calf.
