Lions' Malcolm Rodriguez: Activated from PUP
The Lions activated Rodriguez (knee) from the reserve/PUP list Tuesday.
Rodriguez appears to be on the verge of making his 2025 season debut after a lengthy rehab from ACL surgery. The fourth-year linebacker recorded 43 tackles (27 solo), including 2.0 sacks, one pass breakup and one fumble recovery across 10 appearances last season.

Lions' Malcolm Rodriguez: Out for Sunday
Rodriguez (knee) has been downgraded and ruled out ahead of Sunday's matchup against the Eagles, Tim Twentyman of the Lions' official site reports.
Despite a full week of practice sessions, Rodriguez will remain on the injured reserve list and won't suit up for the Week 11 matchup. The linebacker from Oklahoma State has yet to play this season as he continues to work back from a torn ACL in 2024. Expect Derrick Barnes to continue operating as one of the Lions' top outside linebackers until Rodriguez is fully healthy.

Lions' Malcolm Rodriguez: Could return Week 11
Rodriguez (knee) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Eagles.
Rodriguez was a full practice participant all week, but he would need to be activated from injured reserve in order to be eligible to play Sunday. The 2022 sixth-rounder is recovering from a torn ACL that he suffered in November of 2024, and his return would strengthen the Lions' depth at linebacker while giving the team another contributor on special teams. Rodriguez logged 43 tackles (27 solo), including 2.0 sacks, one pass defense and one fumble recovery across 10 regular-season games in 2024.

Lions' Malcolm Rodriguez: Full participant in practice
Rodriguez (knee) was a full participant in Detroit's practice Wednesday.
Rodriguez managed to practice fully for the first time since suffering a torn ACL late last season. If the 26-year-old is able to participate in Thursday and Friday's practices as well, he could be activated off the reserve/PUP list ahead of Sunday's matchup versus the Eagles.

Lions' Malcolm Rodriguez: Ruled out for Week 10
Rodriguez (knee) has been downgraded to out for Sunday's game versus Washington.
Rodriguez remains on the reserve/PUP list after he wasn't activated ahead of Sunday's Week 10 contest. He'll have to wait at least one more week to make his season debut after Rodriguez suffered a torn ACL in Week 13 of last season.

Lions' Malcolm Rodriguez: Questionable for Week 10
Rodriguez (knee) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Commanders.
Although Rodriguez has been given the questionable tag for Sunday's game, NFL reporter Jordan Schultz reported in late October that the Lions are aiming to have the 2022 sixth-rounder return for Week 11 against the Eagles on Sunday, Nov. 16. Rodriguez will have to be activated from injured reserve before being cleared to play, but he was limited in practice during Week 10 prep, so the Lions are likely to give the fourth-year pro at least one more week before clearing him to make his 2025 debut. Rodriguez is in the final stages of his recovery from a torn ACL that he sustained in November of 2024.

Lions' Malcolm Rodriguez: Limited at practice
Rodriguez (knee) was a limited participant at practice Wednesday.
Rodriguez was able to continue his stretch of limited sessions as he works his way back from the torn ACL he suffered last November. The linebacker still has more than 10 days left in his 21-day practice window, and he will have two more chances to log a full practice this week ahead of Sunday's contest against Washington.

Lions' Malcolm Rodriguez: Limited on estimated report
The Lions listed Rodriguez (knee) as a limited participant on Wednesday's estimated practice report.
The Lions opened Rodriguez's 21-day practice window Monday as he enters the final stage of his recovery from torn ACL that he suffered last November. Wednesday's report was an estimate as a practice wasn't held, so Thursday's session will be his first opportunity for on-field reps since his injury. Per NFL reporter Jordan Schultz, Rodriguez is gearing up to make his 2025 debut against the Eagles in Week 11.

Lions' Malcolm Rodriguez: Aiming for Week 11 return
The Lions are planning for Rodriguez (knee) to make his 2025 debut Week 11 against the Eagles on Nov. 16, NFL reporter Jordan Schultz reports.
The Lions opened Rodriguez's 21-day practice window Tuesday, and though he'll be eligible to play as soon as this Sunday's game against the Vikings, the Lions want to have him ramp up slowly as he works his way back from the ACL tear he sustained last November. Before suffering the knee injury, the linebacker totaled a pair of sacks among his 43 tackles over 10 appearances during the 2024 campaign.

Lions' Malcolm Rodriguez: Set to return to practice
Head coach Dan Campbell said Monday that the Lions plan to open the 21-day practice window for Rodriguez (knee) to return from the reserve/PUP list, Nolan Bianchi of The Detroit News reports.
Rodriguez is in the final stages of his recovery from a torn right ACL that he sustained in Week 13 of the 2024 season. However, he would likely stay on the PUP list until he's able to log full practices. Rodriguez's practice participation over the coming week will determine whether the Lions activate him ahead of Sunday's NFC North clash against the Vikings.

Lions' Malcolm Rodriguez: Aiming to practice after bye
Coach Dan Campbell said Tuesday the Lions are hopeful to get Rodriguez (knee) back at practice following the Week 8 bye, Justin Rogers of Detroit Football Network reports.
Rodriguez suffered a torn ACL in Week 13 last season and underwent a second, cleanup procedure on the knee over the summer, delaying his return to action. He remains on the reserve/PUP list, but it sounds like a November return could be in the cards for the veteran linebacker and special-teams standout.

Lions' Malcolm Rodriguez: Will miss at least four games
Rodriguez (knee) was placed on the reserve/PUP list Tuesday.
Rodriguez played 10 games (six starts) and produced 43 tackles (27 solo) and 2.0 sacks last season before his season ended due to a torn ACL in late November. The 2022 second-round pick should be back in action by this November if he avoids any setbacks, and his earliest chance to play will be Week 5 versus the Bengals. He likely won't start once he returns, as Derrick Barnes and Alex Anzalone should have those outside linebacker roles locked up.

Lions' Malcolm Rodriguez: Heads to active/PUP list
Rodriguez (knee) was placed on the active/PUP list by the Lions on Thursday.
Rodriguez is eligible to return from the list at any time throughout training camp and the preseason. However, he tore his ACL last November in a win over the Bears and in June, Detroit coach Dan Campbell estimated that the linebacker could perhaps return by November of this season, per Eric Woodyard of ESPN.com. Rodriguez has not played a starting role since his rookie campaign in 2022.

Lions' Malcolm Rodriguez: Likely out for start of season
Rodriguez (knee) is unlikely to be ready for the start of the season, Eric Woodyard of ESPN.com reports.
The linebacker was placed on injured reserve last November after tearing his ACL in a win over the Bears. Detroit coach Dan Campbell offered a conservative estimate Thursday that Rodriguez could return by November, per Woodyard. The 2022 sixth-round pick is entering the final season of his four-year rookie deal, and while he started 15 games as a rookie, he has played more often in a backup and rotational role since then.
