INACTIVES: Lions vs. Browns

Left tackle Taylor Decker (shoulder) and edge rusher Al-Quadin Muhammad (knee) were both listed as questionable to play today on Friday's injury report, but both are active as the Detroit Lions host the Cleveland Browns at Ford Field.

Both players are coming off their best performances of the season in Detroit's 38-30 win over the Baltimore Ravens Monday night.

Decker was graded in the top 10 among all offensive linemen in Week 3 by Pro Football Focus as quarterback Jared Goff wasn't sacked for a second straight week. Decker has a tough task today trying to limit Browns All-Pro edge rusher Myles Garrett, who is second in the NFL with 4.0 sacks on the year.

Muhammad had a breakout game in Baltimore, recording 2.5 sacks as the Lions' defense sacked Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson seven times total in the game. Muhammad has 3.5 sacks on the year to lead the Lions early in the season.

Detroit already ruled out running back Sione Vaki (groin), linebacker Zach Cunningham (hamstring) and safety Daniel Thomas (forearm). Thomas was placed on Reserve/Injured Saturday. All three are key special teams performers for the Lions so special teams coordinator Dave Fipp will need others to step up in their absence.

Rounding out Detroit's inactives today are three healthy scratches in backup offensive lineman Kingsley Eguakun and interior defensive linemen Chris Smith and Mekhi Wingo.

The Lions elevated rookie wide receiver Jackson Meeks from the practice squad for today's contest and he'll make his regular season debut.
