Penei Sewell - Misses practice Wednesday Sewell (ankle) did not participate in the Lions' practice Wednesday.

Impact Sewell has had a strong start to his NFL career, as he's been protecting Jared Goff's blindside effectively. This injury comes as a surprise as he must have picked it up at practice, and the severity is unknown. Expect Will Holden to start in Sewell's spot if he can't play Sunday against the Vikings.
