Za'Darius Smith

Lions declared OT Taylor Decker, OG Christian Mahogany, OT Giovanni Manu, LB Malcolm Rodriguez, DE Za’Darius Smith, OG Colby Sorsdal, and S Loren Strickland inactive for Week 10 against the Texans.

Smith joined the Lions at the deadline but was given Wednesday and Thursday off from practice as he tended to hurricane damage on his property in Florida. He will ultimately be held out, with the team now having to wait until Week 11 for their recent pass rusher to make his team debut.
