Like most of the season, the Detroit Lions will play Sunday without a coveted starting five on the offensive line. Pro Bowl left tackle Jonah Jackson will miss Week 11 against the Chicago Bears with wrist and ankle injuries. Jackson is one of two Lions from the NFC North. Defensive Tackle Isaiah Buggs will also miss the game with an illness that kept him out of practice all week. Apart from these two, the lions are relatively healthy. Reserve defender Ifeatu Melifonwu is the only player with an injury status. Mlifonwu, who plays almost exclusively on special teams, is questionable with a hand injury. Jackson’s likely replacement will add rookie Colby Sorsdal to the lineup. That could mean a switch from right guard to LG Graham Glasgow, as Sorsdal has worked primarily on the right side at both guard and tackle. Expect rookie Brodric Martin to take Buggs’ spot in the DL rotation
