DETROIT – The Detroit Lions defense lost three key players to likely season-ending injuries in Sunday’s 48-42 loss to the Buffalo Bills, including cornerback Khalil Dorsey, who had to be carried off the field in a scary scene at Ford Field .

Starting defensive tackle Alim McNeill was also sidelined with a knee injury after missing the second half of last Thursday’s game against Green Bay due to a concussion. Cornerback Carlton Davis III was also sidelined early in the second half with a jaw injury.

After the game, Lions head coach Dan Campbell said Dorsey will be out for the season, while McNeill and Davis are also likely out for the year. Campbell said he “doesn’t have a good feeling about any of these guys returning,” referring to McNeill and Davis, but noted the team will know more on Monday.

“When I say I don’t feel good, that usually means it’s not good for the rest of the year,” Campbell said. “Well, I don’t feel good about it.”

McNeill signed a four-year extension earlier this season and had helped stabilize Detroit’s defensive line after Aidan Hutchinson went down with a broken tibia and fibula in October.

Towards the end of the first half, Dorsey went down and had to be carried off the field. After his fall, members of the Lions and Bills rushed to his side. Dorsey appeared to be injured after his leg collided with teammate Ezekiel Turner’s leg near the battle line. Dorsey was officially sidelined with an ankle injury as the Lions trailed 21-14 with 1:53 left in the second quarter.

Davis left the field after a helmet-to-helmet collision at 1:36 p.m. of the second quarter and was evaluated for a concussion. He was listed as questionable as to whether he would return with a jaw injury before being ruled out.

The Lions currently have 13 defensive players on the injured reserve list, excluding this recent trio of injuries.
