DETROIT — The Lions defense lost three key contributors to injuries in Sunday’s game against the Buffalo Bills, including cornerback Khalil Dorsey who had to be carted off the field in a scary scene inside Ford Field.
Starting defensive tackle Alim McNeill was also ruled out with a knee injury after missing the second half of last Thursday’s game vs. Green Bay with a concussion. Cornerback Carlton Davis III was downgraded to out with a jaw injury at the start of the second half as well.

Dorsey went down and had to be carted off the field near the end of the first half. Members of both the Lions and Bills rushed to his side after he went down. Dorsey appeared to get injured after his leg collided with the leg of teammate Ezekiel Turner near the line of scrimmage. Dorsey was officially ruled out with an ankle injury as the Lions trailed 21-14 with 1:53 remaining in the second quarter.
Davis exited the field after a helmet-to-helmet collision at 13:36 in the second quarter to be evaluated for a concussion. He was listed as questionable to return with a jaw injury before being ruled out.
