The Detroit inactive player list for the Week 14 home matchup with the Green Bay Packers didn’t hold a ton of drama. After all, four players were ruled out due to injury on the Wednesday injury status report.
That list includes starting left tackle Taylor Decker and three defensive linemen: Josh Paschal, DJ Reader and Levi Onwuzurike. All three of the defenders suffered injuries in the Week 13 Thanksgiving matchup against the Bears.
No players were listed as either questionable or doubtful on the final injury report, so the others are considered healthy scratches. They are:
CB Emmanuel Moseley
OL Kayode Awosika
OL Giovanni Manu
That means Colby Sorsdal will be active for the first time as a reserve tackle after being a healthy scratch for months. The Lions opted to not elevate Jamarco Jones from the practice squad, instead rolling with the second-year tackle in a reserve capacity.
