Left guard Christian Mahogany left Week 1 after a play where he fell and was carted off.
Initial scan reportedly did not show a fracture.
Coaches cautioned he is not “out of the woods” and his availability for Thursday is in doubt.
If Mahogany is unavailable, Ben Bartch finished the opener at left guard and would be first option to start.
The Lions listed other interior options on the roster to cover a short‑term absence.
A change would alter pass‑protection matchups against Buffalo’s strong defensive front.
