Detroit Lions downgrade 2 players to OUT for Packers game

The Detroit Lions have adjusted the game statuses of rookies Mekhi Wingo and Sione Vaki in Week 9, downgrading them from doubtful to OUT and the pair will not travel to Green Bay with the team.

Wingo appeared to have injured his ankle during Thursday’s practice and while he was working with trainers on Friday, he will not play on Sunday, as is common with most mid-week injuries. Wingo has seen his snaps count rise of late, as the Lions deal with injuries along their defensive line, and has been seeing opportunities both on the inside and at the 5-technique on the edge.
