Here are a few injury updates from Lions head coach Dan Campbell, including the latest on Alex Anzalone and Graham Glasgow.
If Detroit Lions offensive guard Graham Glasgow can't play Sunday, rookie sixth-round pick Christian Mahogany could get his first career start.
Graham Glasgow has played every offensive snap through the Lions' first 14 games, making starts at center and left guard
Glasgow (knee) was a full participant in Thursday's practice. The starting left guard had to miss Detroit's 34-17 win over Chicago last Sunday with the knee issue, but he was able to practice in a limited capacity even on the Friday before that game.
Moving onto 2024, the Lions signed guard Kevin Zeitler and that forced Glasgow to move to left guard. Unfortunately, this move has been less than ideal for Glasgow. Up to this point in the season, his blocking grades are way down from where they were a season ago.
Mahogany started in place of Graham Glasgow, who was out with a knee injury. At this present juncture, coach Dan Campbell expects Glasgow to recover his post at left guard for Monday's game against the San Francisco 49ers.
Cornerback Terrion Arnold returned to practice after missing on Thursday with an illness. Running back David Montgomery remained out with a knee injury. Starting left guard Graham Glasgow was also on the field for the second consecutive day after missing last week's game with a knee injury.
The Lions had already ruled out two players due to injuries. Running back David Montgomery and linebacker Jalen Reeves-Maybin will not play, as expected. Reeves-Maybin technically still remains on the injured reserve, so he’s not a designated inactive for this game.
Graham Glasgow will return to the starting lineup Monday against the 49ers, but Christian Mahogany played well in his first NFL start.
Brian Branch, Graham Glasgow and Ifeatu Melifonwu are listed as questionable. David Montgomery and Jalen Reeves-Maybin are out.
