Injury roundup: Earl Thomas (hamstring) out vs. Cards

The Detroit Lions have more injury issues on the offensive line.

Guard T.J. Lang is in concussion protocol, coach Jim Caldwell told reporters on Thursday.

Lang's concussion symptoms developed during Wednesday's practice stemming from Monday's victory in Green Bay. The concussion didn't happen during practice, per Caldwell.

The concussion puts Lang's availability for Sunday's matchup against the Cleveland Browns in doubt. The veteran guard will need to pass through protocol.

Lang's injury is the latest for a struggling Lions offensive line that is hoping to get starting left tackle Taylor Decker back soon after offseason shoulder surgery.

Here are the other injuries we're tracking on this Thursday in Week 10 of the NFL season:

  1. Arizona Cardinals offensive lineman D.J. Humphries left the game with a knee injury, needing assistance from trainers to go to the locker room. He did not return. Cardinals coach Bruce Arians said after the game that he could have a ACL injury.
