Sewell (ankle) is active for Sunday's game versus Tampa Bay.
Despite missing Detroit's first two practices during the week, Sewell will continue to play through his lingering ankle injury in Week 2. He should see a healthy dose of reps across from both Yaya Diaby and Joe Tryon-Shoyinka.

Rotowire
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.

Lions' Penei Sewell: Ready for Week 1
Rotowire
Sewell (ankle) was not listed on the Lions' estimated injury report Wednesday.
Sewell should officially be ready to go Sunday against the Rams. Although the report was just an estimate, it does corroborate previous reports that the Oregon product wouldn't miss the season opener. Having the All-Pro tackle on the field Week 1 should be good news for the entirety of Detroit's offense.
Head coach Dan Campbell appeared optimistic Saturday that Sewell (ankle) will be good to go for Week 1 against the Rams, Colton Pouncy of The Athletic reports.
Sewell was forced to leave Wednesday's practice due to an ankle injury, but the MRI came back negative. Sewell has made the Pro Bowl in each of the last two seasons as the Lions' starting right tackle, and he has started in all 50 regular-season games he's played over the last three years.

Lions' Penei Sewell: Avoids serious injury
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 left practice early Wednesday with a foot injury, Justin Rogers of DetroitFootball.net reports.
Sewell was able to walk off the field under his own power, albeit slowly, after being checked on by trainers. Any potential missed time for the All-Pro tackle would be a significant blow for the Lions' offensive line with just over two weeks until they kick off their 2024 campaign against the Rams on Sept. 8.
