The Lions lost one defensive lineman on Tuesday, while there was good news about a former Pro Bowler on the unit.
Lions coach Matt Patricia said Mike Daniels (foot) is OK after Sunday's 20-13 loss to the Bears, while Kevin Strong went to injured reserve.
To replace Strong, the Lions were awarded offensive tackle Dan Skipper off waivers from Houston on Tuesday.
Patricia said Daniels was stepped on and went through pain on Sunday, but tests revealed no further damage.
Skipper, an undrafted player out of Arkansas, played one game with the Lions in 2017.
