Already with a banged-up defensive line, matters got worse for the Detroit Lions after it was reported that nose tackle Damon Harrison is questionable to return with a groin injury.
It's a groin injury for Snacks and he's questionable to return as well

The Lions already have defensive tackle Mike Daniels out with a foot injury in addition to star cornerback Darius Slay is questionable to return with a hamstring injury.
After being screwed by a couple of bad calls against the Packers on Monday night, the Lions are in need of a win against a surging Minnesota Vikings team who is also dealing an injury to star receiver Adam Thielen. With the loss of Thielen, the Vikings are likely to hand the ball off to Dalvin Cook, further magnifying the loss of Harrison.
One of the leading rushers in the league, the Lions will need their defensive line to step up to stop Cook who looked as impressive as any player throughout the first few weeks on the season.
Currently at 2-2-1, Detroit could have been atop their division with a win against Green Bay last week but now find themselves at the bottom with a loss Sunday likely putting them too far behind the eight ball in the toughest division in football.
We will see if “Snacks” Harrison is able to return to a depleted Lions d-line.
