Bills vs Lions injury report for NFL Thanksgiving Day 2022 game

The Buffalo Bills have ruled Tremaine Edmunds and Greg Rousseau out of Thursday’s Thanksgiving Day game against the Lions, while Detroit list several players as unavailable for the Week 12 NFL clash.

Bills back for second Detroit game in a week

The Bills, who are 7-3 in 2022, head to Ford Field for the second game running, after beating the Cleveland Browns 31-23 at the Detroit arena in Week 11. The game was moved from Buffalo due to weather concerns.

The Lions, who host a Thanksgiving game every year, are 4-6 - but are on a resurgent run of form. Dan Campbell’s men have won their last three - most recently defeating the New York Giants 31-18 - to significantly improve their chances of a first Playoff appearance since 2016.

Buffalo Bills

Linebacker Edmunds has been struggling with a groin injury, and also missed Sunday’s victory over the Browns. Defensive end Rousseau, who hasn’t played for the Bills since the Week 9 loss to the New York Jets, continues his recovery from an ankle problem.
