CHICAGO — The Detroit Lions won't have one of their top linebackers on the field Sunday against Jordan Howard and the Chicago Bears (1 p.m., Fox).
Rookie Jalen Reeves-Maybin is out for the second straight game with an ankle injury.
Paul Worrilow is expected to start at outside linebacker In Reeves-Maybin's place.
The Lions enter Sunday with the NFL's 10th-ranked rushing defense, and they face a Bears team that relies heavily on Jordan Howard and its running game with rookie Mitchell Trubisky at quarterback.
