Wingo sustained a knee injury during Sunday's win against the Bears. Before sitting out Week 9 due to an ankle injury, Wingo was a regular part of the Lions' rotation at defensive tackle, but he mostly has fallen off since returning Week 10, recording two tackles over the last three contests. He may have been pressed into action after Levi Onwuzurike was ruled out with a hamstring issue, but Wingo now is dealing with a health concern himself.

Wingo sustained a knee injury during Sunday's win against the Bears. Before sitting out Week 9 due to an ankle injury, Wingo was a regular part of the Lions' rotation at defensive tackle, but he mostly has fallen off since returning Week 10, recording two tackles over the last three contests. He may have been pressed into action after Levi Onwuzurike was ruled out with a hamstring issue, but Wingo now is dealing with a health concern himself.
Wingo (ankle) was a full participant in Wednesday's practice. Wingo was sidelined for the Lions' Week 9 win over the Packers due to an ankle issue, but Wednesday's full practice suggests he's moved past the issue. Now that the rookie from LSU has returned to full health, he's expected to serve as one of the Lions' top rotational defensive tackles in Week 10, when the team travels to Houston.
Wingo (ankle) has been ruled out for Sunday's contest versus Green Bay. Wingo popped up on the injury report Thursday due to an ankle issue and didn't practice at all Friday. He was doubtful to play entering the weekend and has now been ruled out against the Packers. With Wingo set to sit out Sunday, the Lions signed defensive lineman Chris Smith to the active roster Saturday.
