Davis is slated to have surgery on his injured hip Saturday and is expected to be placed on IR, Todd Archer of ESPN.com reports.

Davis hurt his hip during practice Friday, and the issue is severe enough to require surgery. It's not yet clear how much time the tailback will miss, but it's very possible that he'll be sidelined for most, if not all, of the 2026 campaign. The injury is an awful break for Davis, who had been slated to serve as Dallas' No. 2 running back after working mostly on special teams (and spending considerable time on the practice squad) early in his career. Emari Demercado will likely now slide into that backup role behind Javonte Williams, and Dallas figures to make a move to add another ball carrier to the roster ahead of Sunday's Week 1 matchup versus the Giants.

Landman recorded eight tackles (five solo) and a pass defensed during the Rams' 27-7 loss against the 49ers in Week 1.

Landman picked up where he left off in 2025 in his 2026 debut, recording six-plus tackles for his fourth game in a row going back to last postseason. His big role and steady production as a tackler will keep him in the IDP conversation as long as he remains available.

Kinchens tallied nine tackles (three solo) during the Rams' 27-7 loss to the 49ers in Week 1.

Kinchens logged more than nine tackles only once across 17 regular-season games last year, and the third-year pro finished as the Rams' second-leading tackler in Week 1 behind Quentin Lake (10). Kinchens could be more heavily relied on in the secondary if fellow safety Kamren Curl (ankle) were to miss time. Up next is a Week 2 home clash against the Giants on Monday, Sept. 21.

Leonard has been ruled out ahead of Sunday's game against the Cardinals due to an abdominal injury.

Leonard was unable to practice all week while recovering from an abdominal injury, and his next chance to make his 2026 regular-season debut will be Week 2 against the Raiders on Sunday, Sept. 20. Rodney Shelley will be the primary depth option at corner behind Cam Hart, Donte Jackson and Tarheeb Still, with Nikko Reed and Kaiir Elam being candidates to be elevated from the practice squad for Week 1.

Wingo (groin) does not have an injury designation ahead of Sunday's game against the Saints.

Wingo upgraded from a limited participant in the Wednesday and Thursday sessions to full participation in Friday's practice. The defensive tackle has managed to recover from a groin injury just in time to suit up for a depth role with the Lions' defense in Sunday's contest.

Adams (knee) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Cardinals.

Adams has been working through a knee injury since the end of training camp, and the issue was severe enough for him to miss all three practice sessions during Week 1 prep. Per Bo Brack of GoPHNX.com, Jon Gaines will start at right guard in Adams' absence.

Izien (groin) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Saints.

Izien has dealt with a groin injury throughout Week 1, logging limited participation in three consecutive practices. It is unclear how much the issue inhibits the reserve defensive back. If Izien must miss Sunday's contest, the Lions will likely elevate a defensive back from the practice squad to the active roster to fill in, as both Brian Branch (Achilles) and Kerby Joseph (knee) will miss the contest.

Gray (concussion) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against Jets, Turron Davenport of ESPN.com reports.

Gray, coming off the heels of a career year in 2025, entered the league's concussion protocol after getting into a UTV accident this past weekend. He was a DNP throughout the week, so a return to practice during Week 2 prep would indicate that Gray is progressing through the league's protocol, though he won't be able to play in games until cleared to do so by an independent neurologist. Owen Pappoe and rookie second-rounder Anthony Hill are the top candidates to start alongside Cody Barton and James Williams at linebacker in Gray's absence.

Banks (knee) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Vikings, Wes Hodkiewicz of the Packers' official site reports.

Banks continues to battle a case of knee tendinitis, logging three consecutive limited practice sessions in Week 1. Coach Matt LaFleur indicated Wednesday that the limited sessions were just for rest and that the left guard will start Sunday regardless of his current injury designation and practice status.

Bako-Bewele (knee) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Vikings, Wes Hodkiewicz of the Packers' official site reports.

Bako-Bewele logged three limited practice sessions this week. If the starting right tackle is absent from Sunday's contest, Jordan Love could take on more pressure. If Bako-Bewele is ruled out, John Williams or Anthony Belton will likely start at right tackle in his stead.
