Lions Week 15 inactives: Who’s in, Who’s out vs. Bills

The Detroit Lions (12-1) have declared their inactives ahead of the Week 15 matchup with the Buffalo Bills (10-3).

After dealing with several injuries in the previous few weeks, the Lions were able to return multiple players this week, including four starters: Taylor Decker, Alim McNeill, DJ Reader, and Josh Paschal (along with part-time starter Levi Onwuzurike). The Lions linebacker group suffered another injury, as Trevor Nowaske suffered a concussion this week and was ruled out, and the Lions countered by elevating linebacker Abraham Beauplan, as well as safety/linebacker Jamal Adams.

These elevations bring the game-day roster up to 55 players, and if you want to stay up to date with all the latest roster updates, make sure to check out our weekly updated Lions depth chart.

For this week’s game, because the Lions have eight offensive linemen active for Sunday’s game, they are eligible to expand their game-day roster from 47 to 48 players. Therefore, with 55 players on the game-day roster and 48 eligible to play, the Lions need to declare just seven players inactive for today’s matchup.
