The Detroit Lions lost two defensive tackles in Monday night's loss to the Seattle Seahawks, and it appears at least one of them will be sidelined for a while.

Haloti Ngata left with a calf injury and is expected to undergo an MRI on Monday to determine the extent of the damage, according to Dave Birkett of the Detroit Free Press.

Tyrunn Walker was carted off the field with what Lions head coach Jim Caldwell described as a "significant" ankle injury which could be broken.

Caraun Reid and Gabe Wright finished the game as the Lions' only healthy defensive tackles. They will likely play a big role in Week 5 if Ngata and Walker are ruled out.
