The Detroit Lions have ruled out starting right tackle Blake Miller and starting left guard Christian Mahogany for Thursday night’s Week 2 game against the Buffalo Bills, according to official team injury reports summarised by CBS Sports.

Miller is unavailable with a knee injury, while Mahogany has a hip injury. The reports do not identify replacements for either offensive lineman.

Lions defensive back D.J. Reed remains questionable with a foot injury after limited practice participation on Tuesday and Wednesday. His designation does not confirm whether he will play.

Three Bills players are also listed as questionable: safety Cole Bishop with knee and groin issues, running back Ty Johnson with a hamstring injury, and defensive lineman T.J. Sanders with a knee injury and illness. All three were limited participants in Wednesday’s practice.

Player availability can change before kick-off, with the questionable designations leaving the status of Reed, Bishop, Johnson and Sanders unresolved.
