Detroit Lions down 2 OL starters vs. Buccaneers with Frank Ragnow, Tyrell Crosby inactive

The Detroit Lions will be without two starters on their offensive line for Saturday's game against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.

Pro Bowl center Frank Ragnow will miss his second straight game with a fractured throat cartilage and right tackle Tyrell Crosby is out for the third straight week with a sprained ankle.

The Bucs, who can clinch a playoff spot with a win, are tied for fourth in the NFL with 43 sacks.

Left tackle Taylor Decker, who missed practice time this week with a groin injury, and Halapoulivaati Vaitai, who cleared concussion protocol, are active and expected to start for the Lions.
