  • Lions' Za'Darius Smith: Not expected to play Sunday

    Smith (personal), who is officially questionable for Sunday's Week 10 matchup against Houston, isn't likely to suit up, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.

    Smith was dealt from Cleveland to Detroit on Tuesday, and Rapoport suggests that the edge rusher is "not quite ready" to make his Lions debut. Since he's not dealing with an injury, it seems likely that Smith will be able to participate in Detroit's following game, which will take place Sunday, Nov. 17 against Jacksonville. With Smith expected to be absent against the Texans, Josh Paschal and James Houston should continue to be called upon to rush the passer.

  • Lions' Shane Zylstra: Signed to active roster

    The Lions signed Zylstra from the practice squad to the active roster Saturday.

    Zylstra was elevated from the practice squad for the maximum three times this season, and he'll continue to play in Detroit after being signed to the active roster. Zylstra will serve as the Lions' No. 3 tight end Sunday against the Texans behind Sam LaPorta and Brock Wright.

  • Lions' Jalen Reeves-Maybin: Lands on IR with neck injury

    The Lions placed Reeves-Maybin (neck) on injured reserve Saturday.

    Reeves-Maybin was already ruled out for Sunday's game against the Texans due to a neck injury he picked up in Week 9 against the Packers. However, the injury is severe enough to warrant a multi-week absence, and Reeves-Maybin will be forced to sit for at least the next four regular-season games. The earliest he can return is Week 14 against Green Bay on Thursday, Dec. 5.

  • Lions' Emmanuel Moseley: Remains on IR with pec injury

    Moseley (pectoral) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against Houston.

    Moseley began the regular season on injured reserve after tearing his pectoral in early August, but his 21-day practice window to return from IR opened Wednesday, per Christian Booher of SI.com. Moseley was able to practice in full all week, and while he won't suit up Sunday, the 28-year-old could be in line to make his 2024 debut in Week 11 against the Jaguars on Sunday, Nov. 17.

  • Lions' Ifeatu Melifonwu: Won't return for Week 10

    Melifonwu (ankle) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against Houston.

    Melifonwu has been on injured reserve since late September due to an ankle injury he suffered in Week 1, but his 21-day practice window to return from IR opened Wednesday, per Tim Twentyman of the Lions' official site. He was a full practice participant all week, and while he won't suit up Sunday, he has good chance at playing in Week 11 against Jacksonville on Sunday, Nov. 17.

  • Lions' Brodric Martin: Won't play Sunday

    Martin (leg) has been ruled out ahead of Sunday's matchup against the Texans.

    Despite a week of full practice, Martin will remain on Detroit's injured reserve list and miss Sunday's contest. Expect Mekhi Wingo to continue working as one of the Lions' top rotational interior defensive linemen until Martin is activated off IR.

  • Lions' Jalen Reeves-Maybin: Won't play vs. Houston

    Reeves-Maybin (neck) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Texans.

    Reeves-Maybin picked up a neck injury during the Lions' Week 9 win over the Packers. He will be sidelined for Sunday's game after not being able to practice all week, and his next chance at suiting up will be Week 11 against the Jaguars on Sunday, Nov. 17. With starting linebacker Malcolm Rodriguez (ankle) also ruled out, Trevor Nowaske and Ben Niemann will each see an increased snap count on defense along starting linebackers Jack Campbell and Alex Anzalone.

  • Lions' Taylor Decker: Won't play in Week 10

    Decker (shoulder) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against Houston.

    Decker popped up on Thursday's injury report due to a shoulder injury. It kept him out of practice Friday, and the injury is severe enough for Decker to be sidelined for Sunday's game. His next chance at suiting up will be Week 11 against Jacksonville on Sunday, Nov. 17. Dan Skipper and Colby Sorsdal are the top candidates to start at left tackle in Decker's absence.

  • Lions' Za'Darius Smith: Questionable for Detroit debut

    Smith (personal) is questionable for Sunday's game against the Texans.

    Smith was just acquired from the Browns at the trade deadline Tuesday, so it's fair to wonder if he's up to speed with the defense. If cleared to suit up, Smith could play strictly on passing downs, allowing him to rush the passer.

  • Lions' Malcolm Rodriguez: Won't face Houston

    Rodriguez (ankle) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Texans.

    Rodriguez will miss his second straight game, allowing Alex Anzalone and Jack Campbell to handle the bulk of the linebacker snaps for Detroit. Rodriguez's absence will mainly be felt on special teams.
