Lions G T.J. Lang misses second-straight practice, Ezekiel Ansah padless

With just three days until their Week 2 matchup against the San Francisco 49ers, the Detroit Lions are still a little hobbled from their Monday night opener.

Starting right guard T.J. Lang, who suffered a back injury late in the fourth quarter against the Jets, missed his second straight day of practice, seriously putting into doubt his availability this week. Last year, Lang missed one game due to a back injury, one due to a concussion and one due to a foot injury.

In Monday night’s game, Lang missed just a single snap, and backup Kenny Wiggins took his spot.
