Lions' Ben Bartch: DNP due to foot injury
Bartch (foot) did not participate in Thursday's practice.
Bartch has missed each of the first two practices of Week 3 prep due to a foot injury that he may have picked up during the Lions' Week 2 loss to the Bills. He would need to practice in at least a limited capacity Friday to have a realistic chance of playing Sunday against the Jets.

Lions' Tate Ratledge: Working through elbow issue
Ratledge (elbow) was a limited participant in Thursday's practice.
Ratledge has logged back-to-back limited practice due to an elbow injury that he may have picked up during Detroit's Week 2 loss to Buffalo. If he can log a full practice Friday, then Ratledge would likely avoid an injury designation for Sunday's game against the Jets.

Lions' Blake Miller: Logs limited practice Thursday
Miller (knee) was a limited participant in Thursday's practice.
Miller did not play against the Bills in Week 2 due to a knee injury, though he's been cleared to practice in each of the first two sessions of Week 3 prep, albeit in a limited capacity. A full practice Friday would likely be enough for Miller to avoid an injury designation for Sunday's home game against the Jets.

Lions' Christian Mahogany: Still limited by hip injury
Mahogany (hip) was a limited participant in Thursday's practice.
Mahogany was unable to play against the Bills in Week 2 due to a hip injury, and he's opened Week 3 prep with back-to-back limited practices. Friday's injury report will provide clarity on the third-year offensive lineman's status for Sunday's game against the Jets. Ben Bartch (foot) and Tate Ratledge (elbow) are also working through injuries, leaving Miles Frazier and Seth McLaughlin as the only healthy reserve offensive linemen on the Lions' 53-man roster.

Lions' Thomas Harper: Misses another practice Thursday
Harper (ankle) did not practice Thursday, Nolan Bianchi of The Detroit News reports.
This will mark the second consecutive practice Harper has missed this week, so things aren't looking too promising ahead of the Week 3 meeting with the Jets. The 25-year-old appeared in both of Detroit's games this season, amassing five total tackles and two passes defended.

Lions' Avonte Maddox: Officially moved to IR
The Lions placed Maddox (foot) on injured reserve Tuesday.
Maddox will miss the rest of the 2026 season due to a left foot injury he sustained in the Lions' Week 2 loss to the Bills. He'll shift his focus toward being fully healthy for the 2027 campaign, though he'll enter the offseason as an unrestricted free agent. With Maddox, Brian Branch (Achilles) and Kerby Joseph (knee) all sidelined, Thomas Harper and Chuck Clark will serve as Detroit's starting safeties for the time being.

Lions' Avonte Maddox: Done for 2026
Maddox will undergo season-ending surgery for a left foot injury that he sustained during the Lions' 41-31 loss to the Bills on Thursday, Dave Birkett of the Detroit Free Press reports.
Maddox was spotted wearing a boot on his left foot following Thursday's loss, and after undergoing multiple tests and imaging, season-ending surgery has been determined as the best course of action for the veteran defensive back. With both Kerby Joseph (knee) and Brian Branch (Achilles) on the reserve/PUP list and Maddox done for the year, the Lions will turn to Chuck Clark and Thomas Harper to be the starting safeties for the time being.
