Injures thumb on MNF
Sewell suffered a thumb injury in Monday night's win over 49ers, but coach Dan Campbell said Sewell shouldn't miss any time, Eric Woodyard of ESPN.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Sewell was able to finish the game without much of an issue, so it sounds like the team expects him to be out there next Sunday night against the Vikings with the division title and the No. 1 seed in the NFC on the line. If Sewell were unable to play, Dan Skipper would be the next man up at right tackle for Detroit.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Could become league's best RT
Bill Barnwell of ESPN.com believes Sewell could supplant Lane Johnson as the league's best right tackle in 2023.
ANALYSIS
Sewell has the skills to play left tackle at a high level, but he's been deployed on the right side since Detroit already has a solid starter at left tackle in Taylor Decker. Coming off a Pro-Bowl season, Sewell's already among the league's top right tackles. The seventh overall pick in the 2021 NFL Draft could be even better in his third year, while the 33-year-old Johnson may start to experience age-related decline after getting the first-team All-Pro nod at right tackle in 2022.
