Lions-Ravens inactives: Chris Houston, Darius Slay out for Detroit

As expected, the Detroit Lions will be down two cornerbacks on Monday night. Both Chris Houston and Darius Slay have been declared inactive for the Lions' game against the Baltimore Ravens, meaning Rashean Mathis and Jonte Green will start at cornerback (with Bill Bentley rotating in as the nickelback).

On a positive note, running back Reggie Bush and defensive end Ziggy Ansah are both active for the Lions. They were questionable coming into Monday's game, but both players will give it a go (assuming there are no pre-game setbacks).

Here's the Lions' full list of inactives:

QB Kellen Moore
RB Mikel Leshoure
OT Jason Fox
OG Rodney Austin
C Leroy Harris
CB Chris Houston
CB Darius Slay

And here's the Ravens' list of inactives:

RB Bernard Scott
WR Deonte Thompson
C Ryan Jensen
DT Brandon Williams
LB John Simon
S Omar Brown
S Brynden Trawick
