Overview
- Detroit signed safety Jammie Robinson to the active roster from the Chiefs’ practice squad, released defensive lineman Keith Cooper from the practice squad, and added safety Loren Strickland to the practice squad.
- The additions address safety depth after Brian Branch received a one-game suspension for swinging at JuJu Smith-Schuster following the loss in Kansas City.
- Defensive coordinator Kelvin Sheppard said the NFL sent a memo and tape stressing that defenders must punch at the ball, indicating it was prompted by Jack Campbell’s aggressive punch-out attempt.

- Tampa Bay wide receiver Mike Evans returned to practice on October 16 and is expected to be available, with Zyon McCollum, Benjamin Morrison, and Mike Jordan also back, according to the Tampa Bay Times.
