Lions Week 2 Injury Update: Miller and Mahogany Out; Reed Questionable vs Bills

Detroit’s Week 2 injury report ahead of Thursday Night Football vs. the Bills lists two starting offensive linemen ruled OUT—LG Christian Mahogany (hip) and RT Blake Miller (knee)—with Ben Bartch moving to left guard and the Lions likely elevating another lineman to reach eight on game day. CB D.J. Reed is questionable after a limited practice, while C Juice Scruggs (knee) and DB Christian Izien (groin) are not listed with injuries and are expected to start at center and nickel, respectively. For Buffalo, the Bills have three questionable players: RB Ty Johnson, DL T.J. Sanders, and S Cole Bishop. If Reed can’t go, Roger McCreary would shift into a reserve role.

Lions' 2026 ROY race: Miller vs. Moore for the rookie of the year

Detroit’s 2026 rookie class looks to define the season, with five rookies on the 53-man roster and a staff split over who will win Lions Rookie of the Year. Several writers back first‑round right tackle Blake Miller for an immediate impact on the offensive line, while others point to defensive end Derrick Moore as the more disruptive, game‑changing edge. A poll included with the piece shows Miller as a leading pick among the staff, though Moore is firmly in the mix for the award depending on how the line and pass rush develop.

Lions rest starters as Bengals seize early edge in preseason opener

Detroit rests most of its starters in the preseason opener, starting QB Luke Altmyer with first‑round rookie Blake Miller seeing action; Cincinnati’s first‑team offense moves the ball, helped by a 56-yard Evan McPherson FG and a Flacco-to-Endes TD to take a 10‑0 lead. Detroit answers with late-second-quarter field goals from Jake Bates to cut the deficit to 10‑6 at halftime. In the third, Cincinnati adds a field goal to make it 13‑6 as Detroit’s drive stalls after a muffed punt and a botched snap, leaving the Bengals with the edge in this live update.

Gibbs Sparks Lions Day 9 Camp Notes with Miller Locking RT

Detroit Lions training camp Day 9 highlights Jahmyr Gibbs’s return to practice with immediate impact (a 5-yard run and a late 3rd‑and‑10 catch). The nickel cornerback spot remains unsettled among McCreary, Izien, and Abney II. Ben Bartch returned to practice at left guard, Blake Miller has seized the starting right tackle job, and Miles Frazier’s versatility along the line continues to stand out. The No. 3 tight end competition features Tyler Conklin, Jackson Meeks, and Thomas Gordon, while Skyler Gill-Howard drew notice with quickness and a sack in the late team period.

Lions' 2026 Draft Pushes Youth, Depth and Competition to Forefront

Lions' 2026 Draft Pushes Youth, Depth and Competition to Forefront

Detroit’s 2026 draft prioritizes trenches and depth: first-round tackle Blake Miller is a strong Week 1 right-tackle candidate, and second-round edge Derrick Moore adds to the rush rotation, while Cade Mays and Tate Ratledge give the offensive line a younger, more athletic core. The class also injects competition at multiple spots—Miller vs Borom at RT, Moore vs Wonnum on the edge, and WILL linebacker depth behind Rodriguez/Clark—plus potential nickel and return roles for rookies. Day 3 picks Jimmy Rolder and Keith Abney II bring immediate special-teams value and potential early impact, and the Lions emphasize a culture-fit, interior-first building approach to enhance depth and competitiveness this fall.
