Allen Park — The Detroit Lions' injury woes on offense got a little bit worse Saturday afternoon when the team downgraded wide receiver DJ Chark to out for this weekend's game against the Seattle Seahawks.
Chark will join receiver Amon-Ra St. Brown and running back D'Andre Swift on the shelf, leaving the Lions without more than half of the team's offensive production from the first three games. Chark had been limited throughout the practice week with an ankle injury related to the issue he had surgically addressed last season.
To bolster the team's shorthanded receiving corps, the Lions promoted both Tom Kennedy and Maurice Alexander off the practice squad.
