Starting right guard Kevin Zeitler has been ruled out for Saturday night’s divisional-round showdown against the Washington Commanders. Zeitler suffered a hamstring injury in the Week 18 win over the Minnesota Vikings. The veteran lineman did not practice this week, sticking to treatment and rest.

Lions missing two starting offensive linemen, RG Kevin Zeitler and LT Taylor Decker, from Wednesday’s practice

Also missing from practice were cornerback Ennis Rakestraw (hamstring/illness) and defensive lineman Pat O’Connor (calf). Rakestraw had his 21-day return window last week, so missing back-to-back practices isn’t the best sign.

The Detroit Lions conducted their first full practice of the week Wednesday to prepare for the Washington Commanders.
