  Sewell (ankle) is listed as questionable for Sunday's contest versus Tampa Bay. Sewell has been dealing with an ankle injury since late August, but he was able to play Week 1 versus the Rams. However, the right tackle sat out of practice both Wednesday and Thursday this week before logging a limited session Friday. If Sewell is unable to suit up Sunday, Dan Skipper may be asked to step into a starting role.

Sewell was forced to leave Wednesday's practice due to an ankle injury, but the MRI came back negative.

• Lions' Penei Sewell: Avoids serious injury

  28D ago • By RotoWire

  The Lions classified the foot injury Sewell suffered in Wednesday's practice as a rolled ankle after an MRI returned negative, Jared Ramsey of the Detroit Free Press reports. After sustaining the injury, Sewell was able to walk off the field and into the team's facility under his own power. With the MRI bringing good news, the expectation is that Sewell will be ready to go for the Lions' Week 1 matchup with the Rams on Sept. 8. The 23-year-old right tackle made Pro Bowls both of the past two seasons and has played 50 of 51 games since entering the NFL as a first-round pick in 2021.

  Sewell (concussion) participated in Lions camp Wednesday after missing the three prior practices with a head injury, Dave Birkett of the Detroit Free Press reports. Sewell suffered a brain injury less than a week ago but has since been cleared to return to the field. Detroit will be happy to have their cornerstone tackle back, as he's started every game for the Lions since being drafted in 2021 and has already received Pro Bowl honors. Expect the 22-year-old to continue holding down the right side of Detroit's offensive line for years to come.
