Detroit Lions OL Halapoulivaati Vaitai, DL Nick Williams inactive vs. Washington

The Detroit Lions will be without starting linemen on both sides of the ball for today's game against Washington.

Right guard Halapoulivaati Vaitai and defensive tackle Nick Williams are inactive after both missed significant chunks of practice this week with lingering injuries.

Vaitai has been dealing with a foot injury since the preseason, and did not finish last week's loss to the Minnesota Vikings. Either Oday Aboushi or Joe Dahl, who is active but was listed as questionable on Friday's practice report with a back injury, will start in his place.

Williams missed two practices last week because of a shoulder injury he first suffered in September.
