Also missing from practice were cornerback Ennis Rakestraw (hamstring/illness) and defensive lineman Pat O’Connor (calf). Rakestraw had his 21-day return window last week, so missing back-to-back practices isn’t the best sign.

Lions missing two starting offensive linemen, RG Kevin Zeitler and LT Taylor Decker, from Wednesday’s practice

Rakestraw began his return to practice window last week after being on injured reserve since Week 12 with a hamstring injury. Zeitler (hamstring) and O'Connor (calf) both suffered injuries against the Vikings in Week 18. The reason for Decker's absence is undisclosed, as he was not listed on the injury report Tuesday.

Allen Park — The Detroit Lions were missing two starting offensive linemen at Wednesday's practice ahead of Saturday's Divisional round game against the Washington Commanders. Left tackle Taylor Decker and right guard Kevin Zeitler were absent, with Zeitler working off to the side and Decker missing for reasons that are currently unknown.
