Lions Veteran Ruled Out vs. Panthers, Will Miss Second Straight Game

Detroit Lions offensive lineman Ben Bartch has been officially ruled out of Sunday's Week 4 clash against the Carolina Panthers due to a foot injury. This marks the second consecutive regular-season game Bartch will miss after also sitting out Week 3 against the New York Jets. Bartch has been unable to participate in practice sessions for the past two weeks.

The Lions' offensive line receives relief with starting left guard Christian Mahogany fully healthy and available. Meanwhile, defensive end D.J. Wonnum carries no injury designation after returning to full practice, but veteran cornerback D.J. Reed remains questionable for the game after suffering a rib injury in Week 3.
