Lions' Injury Report: Peoples-Jones Questionable, Montgomery Set to Return in Chargers Match

The Detroit Lions have ruled out Halapoulivaati Vaitai for their Week 10 game against the Los Angeles Chargers, while Donovan Peoples-Jones is questionable with a rib injury. Vaitai's absence won't have a significant impact as he has been relegated to a depth role, but Peoples-Jones faces the challenge of overcoming both his injury and learning the Lions' playbook. The Lions' offensive line is back to full strength with the return of Jonah Jackson and Frank Ragnow, while David Montgomery is ready to go for the game. The Chargers have no injury designations for the game.

Halapoulivaati Vaitai restructures contract to remain with Detroit Lions.

Halapoulivaati Vaitai, the right guard for the Detroit Lions, has agreed to a pay cut, reducing his base salary from $9.4 million to $3 million for the 2023 season and making 2024 a void year. This gives the Lions some salary cap relief and Vaitai a chance to hit free agency next year, a year earlier than he would have. The 29-year-old missed the entire 2020 season due to a back injury.
