The Detroit Lions' 48–42 loss to the Buffalo Bills on Sunday was brutal to begin with, but now they are dealing with major injuries to three of their defensive players.

Two of the three players are likely done for the season, NFL Network's Ian Rapoport reported on Monday. Defensive lineman Alim McNeill suffered a torn ACL, and cornerback Carlton Davis III fractured his jaw during the contest. Davis will soon undergo surgery for his injury. However, Davis's current timeline is to miss six weeks, which would perfectly time up to the NFC title game on Jan. 26.
