DETROIT (AP) — Pittsburgh Steelers coach Mike Tomlin still isn’t ready to say who his starting quarterback will be when the season begins. Russell Wilson and Justin Fields led touchdown drives for the Steelers, who lost 24-17 to the Detroit Lions on Saturday in the preseason finale for both teams. Jermar Jefferson rushed for two touchdowns for the Lions, including a go-ahead, 7-yard run in the fourth quarter. “It didn’t start pretty, but we finished strong,” Detroit coach Dan Campbell said.

The Lions classified the foot injury Sewell suffered in Wednesday's practice as a rolled ankle after an MRI returned negative, Jared Ramsey of the Detroit Free Press reports. After sustaining the injury, Sewell was able to walk off the field and into the team's facility under his own power. With the MRI bringing good news, the expectation is that Sewell will be ready to go for the Lions' Week 1 matchup with the Rams on Sept. 8. The 23-year-old right tackle made Pro Bowls both of the past two seasons and has played 50 of 51 games since entering the NFL as a first-round pick in 2021.

Head coach Dan Campbell appeared optimistic Saturday that Sewell (ankle) will be good to go for Week 1 against the Rams, Colton Pouncy of The Athletic reports. Sewell was forced to leave Wednesday's practice due to an ankle injury, but the MRI came back negative. Sewell has made the Pro Bowl in each of the last two seasons as the Lions' starting right tackle, and he has started in all 50 games he's played over the last three years.

A first-round draft pick last year, Jahmyr Gibbs played a large role in the Detroit Lions' offense as a rookie. During a year in which the Lions won 12 games, captured the NFC North title for the first time, and narrowly missed out on a Super Bowl berth, Gibbs surpassed 1,000 total yards and scored 11 touchdowns. But an injury in preseason has effectively sidelined the talented running back.
