Lions DE James Houston (ankle) out several weeks

Detroit Lions pass rusher James Houston is headed to injured reserve with a right ankle injury.

Houston left Ford Field wearing a boot on his right foot and surgery could be a consideration for what is reportedly a fractured ankle.

Head coach Dan Campbell said Houston would be out “for a while” in his postgame update Sunday. NFL Network reported Monday that Houston’s ankle is fractured, with a recovery window of 6-8 weeks.

Houston, 24, didn’t become a regular until late November last season and posted 8.0 sacks in seven games. In Week 1 of the 2023 season, he had a 30 percent pass-rush win rate at Kansas City.

The 2022 sixth-round draft pick left Sunday’s loss to Seattle after posting one tackle.
