With right guard Kevin Zeitler ruled out due to injury, the Detroit Lions are turning to rookie guard Christian Mahogany to start. Here's some background on Detroit's rookie offensive lineman who is being thrust into a starting role in a critical playoff game against the Washington Commanders.

With the news that veteran Kevin Zeitler will miss Saturday night's NFC Divisional Round matchup against the Washington Commanders, the focus at right guard now shifts to Christian Mahogany. The sixth-round rookie from Boston College previously proved he was ready.

Lions injury report shows Kevin Zeitler missed his second straight day of practice Thursday with a hamstring injury. Christian Mahogany is up next.

Zeitler, who was unable to practice this week due to a hamstring injury he suffered in Week 18, has been officially ruled out against Washington.
