Defensive tackle D.J. Reader will not play in the Detroit Lions' season opener against the Los Angeles Rams due to ongoing recovery from a torn quad tendon. Although he had been a limited participant in practice, Lions coach Dan Campbell indicated that Reader was close to returning, targeting a possible Week 2 comeback. In his absence, Kyle Peko will likely see an increase in playing time, and the Lions signed Chris Smith to bolster their defensive line. Other players, including safety Ifeatu Melifonwu and defensive end James Houston, are also inactive. Reader's injury stems from last season while he was with the Bengals, and he was signed by the Lions during the offseason. The team's cautious approach reflects their hope to avoid setbacks as Reader continues his recovery.
