Three of the Detroit Lions' five starting offensive linemen were on the estimated injury report Monday, Sept. 14, as they get ready to play the Buffalo Bills on a short week.
Left guard Christian Mahogany and right tackle Blake Miller were listed as non-participants in practice with hip and knee injuries, respectively.
Mahogany left the Lions' season-opening win over the New Orleans Saints on the second offensive series with what the team initially called a knee injury. Lions coach Dan Campbell said after the game that initial tests were positive, but Mahogany wasn't "out of the woods" from an injury standpoint.
Miller, the Lions' first-round pick, played all 77 offensive snaps in his NFL debut.
Ben Bartch replaced Mahogany at left guard against
the Saints and is in line to start for the Lions on Thursday, Sept. 17, against the Bills. Larry Borom would play at right tackle if Miller misses time.
Center Juice Scruggs, who is filling in for the injured Cade Mays, also was listed on Monday's estimated practice report as a limited participant with a knee injury, and safety Christian Izien, whom the Lions held out of the Saints game for precautionary reasons, was listed as a full participant with a groin injury.
