Jackson gingerly walked off the field with a knee injury on the Lions' second-to-last possession of the first half after blocking on a David Montgomery run. He tried to return to the field with a sleeve on his leg, according to the NBC broadcast, but quickly left and received more treatment from trainers. He was replaced at left guard by Kayode Awosika .

Center Frank Ragnow limped off the field with an apparent knee injury on the ensuing possession but will return after halftime. Jared Goff was sacked into the back of Ragnow's legs by Calijah Kancey , and the two players rolled up the back of Ragnow's left leg while he was engaged in a block with Vita Vea . The second-team All-Pro center laid on the Ford Field turf holding his left knee, before limping off the field under his own power.
Ragnow, who offensive coordinator Ben Johnson called a "secret weapon" during the week, returned to the bench and received minimal treatment from trainers before they left his side, according to the Free Press' Dave Birkett.
