After several weeks of good health, the Detroit Lions are heading into the final month of the season a bit beat up.
Starters Theo Riddick, Travis Swanson and Ziggy Ansah did not practice today, one day after the Lions put backups Quandre Diggs and Armonty Bryant on injured reserve.
Riddick and Ansah have been dealing with ankle sprains for much of the season and have seen their production wane because of it. Ansah still does not have a sack this year, while Riddick has lost carries to Dwayne Washington and has been held under 15 yards receiving in three of five games since returning from injury.
