Penei Sewell has ankle injury; Detroit Lions could be short 3 OL starters vs. Vikings

The hits keep coming for the Detroit Lions' beleaguered offensive line.

Rookie first-round pick Penei Sewell is dealing with an ankle injury that will limit him in practice this week and has left his availability for Sunday's game against the Minnesota Vikings uncertain.

"He's a little banged up," Lions coach Dan Campbell said before practice Wednesday. "We’ll see where he’s at. He’ll probably be limited today if not out and then we’ll go from there."

Sewell, the No. 7 pick of April's draft, has started all four games at left tackle in place of Taylor Decker, who underwent surgery on his left hand days before the Lions' season-opening loss to the San Francisco 49ers.
