Lions' Haloti Ngata (shoulder) sidelined for two-to-three weeks

Detroit Lions defensive tackle Haloti Ngata will miss 2-3 weeks with a shoulder injury, NFL Network's Ian Rapoport reports.

What It Means:

Ngata went down midway through last week's win over the Philadelphia Eagles. At 32, Ngata's play has slipped since he arrived in Detroit, but he's still a big body in the middle of a run defense that has yet to allow a rushing touchdown to a running back.

Detroit is getting gashed defensively, putting up 0.22 schedule-adjusted Defensive Net Expected Points per play, which ranks dead last in the NFL.
