Lions' De'Shawn Rucker: Nursing ankle issue
Rucker left the Lions' training camp practice with an ankle injury Thursday, Richard Silva of The Detroit News reports.
It's not clear yet how serious Rucker's injury is or when he'll be able to return to the practice field. In the meantime, Khalil Dorsey and fellow rookie undrafted free agent Aamaris Brown could get more chances to make an impression during camp.

Lions' Mekhi Wingo: Tending to groin issue
Wingo left the Lions' training camp practice to be evaluated for a groin injury Thursday, Richard Silva of The Detroit News reports.
The severity of the injury is unknown, and there's no concrete timetable for Wingo's return. Until he's able to practice again, rookie sixth-rounder Skyler Gill-Howard and Myles Adams could see an uptick in reps at practice.

Lions' Jahmyr Gibbs: Lands three-year extension
The Lions and Gibbs (back) agreed to terms on a three-year extension Thursday, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.
The $67.5 million deal can be worth up to $75.75 million and includes $51.5 million guaranteed, barely surpassing Bijan Robinson's extension (three years, $66.75 million and $51 million guaranteed) with the Falcons from earlier this week to make the former the highest-paid running back in the NFL. Gibbs has racked up 3,768 yards from scrimmage and 38 touchdowns in 34 regular-season games over the last two campaigns, so the investment made in him by Detroit is warranted. He'll continue to operate as the engine of the Lions offense for the foreseeable future.

Lions' Jahmyr Gibbs: Closing in on three-year deal?
Gibbs (back) and the Lions have made substantial progress on a three-year contract extension that would make him the highest-paid running back in the league, NFL reporter Jordan Schultz reports Thursday.
According to Schultz, a deal could get done as soon as Thursday. Gibbs has been limited to conditioning work in practice amid ongoing contract negotiations with the Lions, but the star running back could begin practicing as soon as a deal is reached, assuming his minor back issue is behind him. In order to become the NFL's highest-paid running back, Gibbs would need to exceed the three-year, $66.75 million contract Bijan Robinson signed with the Falcons on Tuesday, which included $51 million guaranteed.

Lions' Jahmyr Gibbs: Working off to side Thursday
Gibbs (back) took part in the Lions' walkthrough and stretch Thursday before taking part in conditioning work on a side field during practice, Dave Birkett of the Detroit Free Press reports.
After Gibbs arrived at the Lions' facility in full uniform, he appeared poised to take part in his first practice of training camp, but he's apparently not ready to get involved in drills just yet. Gibbs is managing what appears to be a minor back issue, though his desire for a long-term contract extension may also be a factor in keeping him from practicing. With the Falcons' Bijan Robinson and Colts' Jonathan Taylor securing new contracts this week, Gibbs could be next in line to put pen to paper on a new deal.

Lions' Jahmyr Gibbs: Present for practice
Gibbs (back) was in uniform and taking reps during the early walkthrough portion of Thursday's practice, Tim Twentyman of the Lions' official site reports.
Gibbs, who coach Dan Campbell previously noted was dealing with a "little bit of a back" issue that cropped up during conditioning tests, has been looking for a new deal with the Lions, so his presence at practice, in any capacity, is notable. However, per Dave Birkett of the Detroit Free Press, after the team's walkthrough and stretch, Gibbs went to a side field to work with a trainer, so it appears as though the running back may not participate in the rest of Thursday's session after all.

Lions' Tyler Conklin: Activated off PUP list
The Lions activated Conklin (knee) off the active/PUP list Wednesday, Dave Birkett of the Detroit Free Press reports.
Conklin landed on the PUP list late last month due to a knee injury but is now healthy again. The 30-year-old is competing with Brock Wright for the team's backup tight end role behind Sam LaPorta.

Lions' Lawrence Keys: Going to IR
Keys (leg) reverted from waivers to Detroit's injured reserve list Wednesday, per the NFL's transaction log.
Keys was not claimed by another team after the Lions waived him with an injury designation Tuesday, and now he's set to spend the year on IR recovering from a leg issue. For now, guys like Lucky Jackson and Tarik Black could see an uptick in reps during practices.

Lions' Tarik Black: Signs with Detroit
The Lions signed Black to a contract Wednesday.
Tight end Kitselman's (leg) season-ending injury warranted a move to IR, leaving a roster spot open for Black. The wide receiver was waived by the Lions on Monday to make room for tight end Nick Muse, but now regains a spot on the roster. Monday's experience should show Black that he is teetering on the edge of making the team, so every snap likely needs to be the wide receiver's best.

Lions' Miles Kitselman: Placed on reserve/injured list
The Lions placed Kitselman (leg) on the reserve/injured list Wednesday.
Kitselman exited Sunday's practice with a significant leg injury, so this move is not entirely surprising. The tight end will now spend the entirety of the 2026 season on injured reserve unless he is waived with an injury settlement. The Lions signed wide receiver Tarik Black in a corresponding move.

Lions' Raheem Blackshear: Catches on with Detroit
The Lions signed Blackshear on Tuesday.
Blackshear spent time on the practice squads of the Titans, Steelers and Jets last year but didn't end up playing in a regular-season game. He'll now have the chance to compete for a spot on the Lions' 53-man roster as a depth backfield option and contributor on special teams.

Lions' Sione Vaki: Dealing with broken nose
Vaki suffered a broken nose in Monday's practice, Justin Rogers of DetroitFootball.net reports.
Vaki was poked in the eye in the same practice and will now need some time to deal with the injuries. He's competing for a role in the backfield behind Jahmyr Gibbs (back) and Isiah Pacheco this summer. A 2024 fourth-round pick, Vaki has seven career regular-season carries for 18 empty yards.

Lions' Anthony Firkser: Sent to IR with leg injury
The Lions placed Firkser (leg) on injured reserve Tuesday.
Firkser was injured in Monday's practice and will now either spend the entirety of the 2026 season on the Lions' injured reserve list or be let go with an injury settlement at a later date. The veteran tight end appeared in seven regular-season games with Detroit last season, securing eight of 10 targets for 53 scoreless yards.

Lions' Zach Horton: Signs with Detroit
The Lions signed Horton on Tuesday.
The 23-year-old tight end takes the roster spot of Anthony Firkser, who was placed on injured reserve with a leg injury. Horton appeared in two regular-season games with Detroit last season, logging 11 offensive snaps. He should be considered a long shot to make the 53-man roster.

Lions' Malcolm Rodriguez: Leaves practice early
Rodriguez left practice Tuesday to be evaluated for an ankle injury, Justin Rogers of DetroitFootball.net reports.
Detroit is expected to give an update on the status of Rodriguez prior to practice Wednesday. The 27-year-old played just 70 defensive snaps last season after coming back off of an ACL tear, but was expected to be a starting linebacker for Detroit in 2026 alongside Jack Campbell and Derrick Barnes. Rodriguez signed a one-year deal to return to Detroit this offseason and could prove his ability to handle a full defensive workload if the injury is short-term.
