94 Austin Bryant DE

Bryant (hip) won't play in Sunday's game against the Vikings.

Bryant was carrying a doubtful tag coming into Week 14, so his absence from the lineup isn't quite a surprise. It will be the second straight game missed for the rookie out of Clemson, and in his stead, only Trey Flowers and Romeo Okwara are healthy for the game at the defensive end position.

Bryant (arm) is considered day-to-day, Dave Birkett of the Detroit Free Press reports.

Bryant was just activated July 23 from the Lions' NFI list after recovering from a torn right pectoral -- the same side on which he sustained the arm injury Sunday.

The Lions activated Bryant (pectoral) off their Non-Football Injury list Tuesday, Michael Rothstein of ESPN.com reports.

Bryant had surgery Jan. 17 to repair a torn pectoral and seems to be fully recovered from the injury. The fourth-round pick in April's draft was a lesser-known Clemson lineman but still racked up at least 8.0 sacks in his final two seasons for the Tigers. Now that he's healthy, he has enough power and polish to his game to add useful depth on Detroit's edge.

Bryant is the lesser-known Clemson lineman who was a two-year starter for the Tigers. A pectoral injury prevented him from working out at the combine, but the film suggested that Bryant was not reliant on elite athleticism. He did have at least 8.0 sacks in each of his final two seasons at Clemson and has enough power and polish to his game to add useful depth on Detroit's edge.
