The Lions placed Peko (pectoral) on injured reserve Tuesday. Peko suffered a torn pectoral muscle during the Lions' Week 6 win over the Cowboys. He'll undergo surgery and is expected to miss the rest of the 2024 season. Peko will end the year with two tackles (one solo) across five regular-season games.
Peko is expected to undergo surgery on his torn pectoral muscle and will likely miss the rest of the 2024 season, Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reports. Peko suffered this injury during the Week 6 blowout win over the Cowboys. His season will end with two tackles (one solo) through five games.
Peko (pectoral) has been ruled out for the remainder of Sunday's game against the Cowboys. Peko suffered the injury late in the first quarter and his exit will be a blow to the Lions' defensive line depth. Levi Onwuzurike and Mekhi Wingo will now likely see an uptick in work behind DJ Reader and Alim McNeill at defensive tackle.
Peko (calf) signed a contract with the Lions on Tuesday, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports. Peko finished last season on injured reserve after competing in 13 games and recording 22 combined tackles. Now healthy again, the veteran lineman will get an opportunity in Detroit for his seventh NFL season. The Oregon State product will also have the chance to reunite with his defensive line coach from the Titans, Terrell Williams, who holds the same position now with the Lions.
