Top Lions News

  • Lions' Giovanni Manu: Lands on IR with knee injury

    The Lions placed Manu (knee) on injured reserve Saturday.

    Manu popped up on Thursday's practice report due to a knee injury and was unable to practice Friday. The injury appears severe enough for him to go on IR, and the 2024 fourth-rounder will be forced to miss at least the next four games, making Week 11 against the Eagles on Sunday, Nov. 16 the earliest he can return. With Manu and Taylor Decker (shoulder) both out, Dan Skipper is in line to start at left tackle against Kansas City on Sunday.

  • Lions' Avonte Maddox: Ruled out Week 6

    Maddox (hamstring) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Chiefs.

    The veteran corner made an appearance on Thursday's practice report after being limited due to a hamstring injury. The injury is severe enough for Maddox to miss Sunday's game, and his next chance to play is Week 7 against the Buccaneers on Monday, Oct. 20. Arthur Maulet was elevated from the practice squad and could see rotational snaps in the secondary in Maddox's absence.

  • Lions' Taylor Decker: Won't play vs. Kansas City

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

    Decker was unable to practice this past week due to a shoulder injury and will miss a second consecutive game as a result. With Decker and Giovanni Manu (knee) both ruled out, Dan Skipper could serve as the Lions' starting left tackle for Sunday's contest.

  • Lions' Taylor Decker: Questionable after three DNPs

    Decker (shoulder) is questionable for Sunday night's game against the Chiefs, Justin Rogers of DetroitFootball.net reports.

    Decker didn't practice at all this week, but the Lions are leaving the door open for him to face Kansas City after Decker missed last Sunday's win over the Bengals. Giovanni Manu made the start in Decker's place last week and was the weak link on the offensive line. Dan Skipper was recently signed to the active roster and could be an option to start in Decker's place if he's unable to play Sunday.

  • Lions' Avonte Maddox: Dealing with hamstring injury

    Maddox is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Chiefs due to a hamstring injury, Justin Rogers of DetroitFootball.net reports.

    Maddox popped up on Thursday's practice report as a limited participant due to a hamstring injury, which was severe enough for him to not practice Friday. That's a trend in the wrong direction for the veteran corner, but his official status may not be known until approximately 90 minutes prior to Sunday's 8:20 p.m. ET kickoff. Maddox has provided rotational help in the secondary while also contributing on special teams, but his absence would hurt a Lions secondary that is already without Terrion Arnold (shoulder) and could be missing Brian Branch (ankle) and Kerby Joseph (knee).

  • Lions' Kerby Joseph: Iffy to play against Kansas City

    Joseph (knee) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Chiefs, Justin Rogers of DetroitFootball.net reports.

    Joseph and fellow starting safety Brian Branch (ankle) are both questionable for Sunday's road tilt, which opens the door for special-teams contributors Thomas Harper and Loren Strickland to log defensive snaps. Joseph has managed to play through a lingering knee issue from mid-September, though he wasn't able to participate in any capacity this week.

  • Lions' Brian Branch: Questionable for Week 6

    Branch (ankle) did not practice Friday and is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Chiefs, Justin Rogers of DetroitFootball.net reports.

    Branch sustained an ankle injury during the Lions' Week 5 win over the Bengals. He opened the week with back-to-back limited practices before sitting out Friday's session, and his official status may not be known until the Lions announce their list of inactive players approximately 90 minutes before Sunday's 8:20 p.m. ET kickoff. The Lions' secondary is dealing with multiple injuries, so Branch's absence may lead to Thomas Harper and Loren Strickland -- both of whom have been restricted to special-teams work this season -- seeing the field on defense.

  • Lions' Sione Vaki: Won't play against Kansas City

    Vaki (groin) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Chiefs, Justin Rogers of DetroitFootball.net reports.

    Vaki has not been able to practice since suffering a groin injury in Week 3 against the Ravens. He'll miss a third consecutive game due to the injury, and the 2024 fourth-rounder's next opportunity to play is Week 7 against Tampa Bay on Monday, Oct. 20. Craig Reynolds and Jacob Saylors will continue to serve as the Lions' depth backfield options behind Jahmyr Gibbs and David Montgomery.

  • Lions' Zach Cunningham: Ruled out Week 6

    Cunningham (hamstring) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against Kansas City, Justin Rogers of DetroitFootball.net reports.

    Cunningham will miss a third consecutive game due to a hamstring injury he sustained during practice leading up to the Lions' Week 4 clash against the Browns. He wasn't able to practice this past week, so he'll aim to return to the field in at least a limited capacity ahead of the Lions' Week 7 home tilt against the Buccaneers on Monday, Oct. 20.

  • Lions' Alim McNeill: Won't return for Week 6

    McNeill (knee) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Chiefs, Justin Rogers of DetroitFootball.net reports.

    McNeill was a full participant in all three practices for the Lions' Week 6 prep, showing good progress in his recovery from a torn ACL in his right knee that he suffered in December. He hasn't been cleared to return quite yet, but the Lions are targeting Week 7 against the Buccaneers on Monday, Oct. 20 as McNeill's 2025 debut, per Dave Birkett of the Detroit Free Press.

  • Lions' Kalif Raymond: Questionable for SNF

    Raymond (neck) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Chiefs, Justin Rogers of Detroit Football Network reports.

    Raymond was limited in practice Thursday and Friday after kicking off Week 6 prep with a DNP. If healthy enough to play Sunday night, Raymond should continue to provide depth at wide receiver while working as Detroit's primary punt returner.
