On Sunday morning, with a upcoming battle with the Baltimore Ravens in Maryland on the schedule for this afternoon, the Detroit Lions released their list of inactive players for the pivotal game. Not surprisingly, the Lions’ starting running back, Ameer Abdullah appeared on that list and is out for the important matchup.
Abdullah was listed as questionable on the Lions’ final injury report, having missed practices on both Wednesday and Thursday with a neck injury. The third-year back was able to practice on Friday on a limited bases, but apparently it wasn’t enough for him to earn the nod to play against the Ravens this weekend.
