Lions Downgrade Four to Out, Add Rookie WR as Questionable Before Eagles Game
Detroit signaled short-term elevations to cover absences before Sunday night in Philadelphia.
Overview
- The team ruled out Miles Frazier (knee, PUP), Marcus Davenport (shoulder, IR), Malcolm Rodriguez (ACL, PUP) and D.J. Reed (hamstring, IR) after choosing not to activate them.
- Rookie wide receiver Isaac TeSlaa was added to the injury report as questionable with an oblique issue after not appearing earlier in the week.
- Despite practicing for three weeks, Rodriguez was not moved to the 53-man roster, and the club has until Tuesday to decide on his activation.
- Defensive tackle Pat O’Connor went on injured reserve with a back injury, creating an open spot on the 53-man roster.
- Detroit had already ruled out Terrion Arnold, Kerby Joseph, Sam LaPorta and Josh Paschal, with Taylor Decker, Penei Sewell and others listed as questionable; Dan Campbell has targeted early December for Reed’s return, and elevations at tight end and offensive line are expected later Saturday.
