Does this open the door for the Lions to bring in Isaiah Buggs and finally play him this season? It probably should. The Lions lost two players in the defensive line this week and they can't afford not to do something about it. This should also open the door for more Romeo Okwara. He only played 27 snaps on Sunday. That number will have to go up.
