Final Detroit Lions Week 10 injury report creates huge offensive void

The Detroit Lions will play their third primetime game of the season, and their second on a Sunday night, in Week 10 against the 6-3 Houston Texans.

The Lions started their practice week with a walkthrough on Wednesday. Thursday was the first actual practice of the week, with one big potential concern brought to the forefront.

Final Detroit Lions Week 10 injury report

Here is the final Week 10 injury report for the Lions.

• OT Taylor Decker (shoulder: Out
• LB Jalen Reeves-Maybin (neck): Out
• LB Malcolm Rodriguez (ankle: Out
• DT Brodric Martin (knee): Out
• S Ifeatu Melifonwu (ankle): Out
• CB Emmanuel Moseley (pectoral): Out
• DL Za'Darius Smith (personal): Questionable
• DL Josh Paschal (illness): No designation
• RB Sione Vaki (knee: No designation
• DL Mehki Wingo (ankle): No designation

Decker popped up on Thursday's practice report with a shoulder issue. He did not practice on Friday, and he will miss Sunday night's game. The plan to replace him is not clear, but in past when Decker has missed time Penei Sewell moved over to left tackle. If that happens this week, Dan Skipper would likely start in Sewell's place at right tackle.

Reeves-Maybin and Rodriguez did not practice all week, and both will be out against the Texans.

Martin is is in his 21-day window to come off IR, with 11 days remaining now. Melifonwu and Moseley had their 21-day return windows opened on Wednesday, with 18 days remaining before they would have to be added to the 53-man roster.

Smith was given a couple days off after the trade that brought him to the Lions on Tuesday. He practiced on Friday, but it's unclear if he will play on Sunday night.

After missing the last two games, Paschal is set to return to action against the Texans.
