Tight end Brandon Pettigrew, who was added to the injury report (questionable) late Saturday night with a knee injury, worked out early Sunday under the watchful eyes of trainers. He’s been ruled out of today’s game vs. Chicago.
It's unclear how Pettigrew suffered the injury.
His absence, along with Eric Ebron's (ruled out Friday), leaves just Tim Wright as the only active tight end for the Lions today.
Detroit will also be without starting strong safety James Ihedigbo (quad) and running back Joique Bell (ankle). Both are inactive.
Expect veteran Isa Abdul-Quddus to start in place of Ihedigbo.
