Manu will likely see significant reps against the Falcons, and Miller, an undrafted free agent, could see some increased opportunties, too. It&#8217;s also worth keeping an eye on former fifth-round pick Colby Sorsdal, who has the versatility to play guard and tackle.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/pbs.twimg.com\/media\/Gx3WlxvXMAAso7O?format=jpg&amp;name=4096x4096\" alt=\"Jeff Risdon on X: &quot;Looks like Lions OT Justin Herron suffered an injury in  warmups. He was in line to play a lot with the starters sitting and  Skipper\/J. Jones both out.\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Herron, 29, has made 11 career starts. He began his professional career with the New England Patriots (2020-22) before making stops with the Las Vegas Raiders (2023) and New Orleans Saints (2024). He missed the entire 2024 season with a knee injury.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>detroitnews.com wants to ensure the best experience for all of our readers, so we built our site to take advantage of the latest technology, making it faster and easier to use.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":30013,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[5],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-30012","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-detroit-lions"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v23.7 -
