The Detroit Lions announced on Saturday afternoon that starting left guard Jonah Jackson has been downgraded to doubtful for Sunday’s game against the Washington Commanders. With center Frank Ragnow already declared out and starting right guard Halapoulivaati Vaitai, the Lions appear likely to be without three of their starters on the offensive line.
Jackson suffered a finger injury during the week and missed practice on both Thursday and Friday. He was with the team on the practice field on Friday but his right ring finger was wrapped.
The Lions will likely fill Ragnow’s spot with backup center Evan Brown and Vaitai’s spot—as they did last week—with Logan Stenberg.
