Cornerback Chris Houston has been officially ruled out for the Detroit Lions’ game Monday night against the Baltimore Ravens because of a toe injury.

Jonte Green, a sixth-round draft pick in 2012, is expected to get his first start of the season in place of Houston. Green made five starts last season as a rookie.

Running back Reggie Bush (calf) and defensive end Ezekiel “Ziggy” Ansah (shoulder), both of whom were listed as questionable in Saturday’s injury report, are active and expected to start.

Bush sat out Sunday’s loss at Philadelphia while Ansah was unable to finish the game.

Linebacker Elvis Dumervil (ankle), who leads Baltimore with 9 ½ sacks, will return to the starting lineup after missing the Ravens’ last game.
