Trey Flowers is headed to injured reserve for the second time in as many seasons, and it's possible Flowers has played his last game as a member of the Detroit Lions.
The Lions placed Flowers on IR Saturday because of a knee injury that has nagged him most of the season.
Flowers missed two games earlier this year with knee and shoulder injuries and was inactive the past two games for losses to the Cleveland Browns and Chicago Bears after aggravating his knee injury against the Pittsburgh Steelers.
The Lions (0-10-1) had previously ruled Flowers out for Sunday's game against the Minnesota Vikings, but the 28-year-old must now miss at least the next three weeks.
