Overview

  • Coach Dan Campbell said D.J. Reed’s hamstring injury will sideline him for a while but is not season-ending, noting an injured-reserve move is possible and would mean at least four games out.
  • Terrion Arnold’s shoulder issue is not considered major, though his availability for this week is in question and he is expected back by next week if he cannot go.
  • Detroit plans to elevate backups at outside corner, with Amik Robertson set for a larger role alongside Khalil Dorsey or Rock Ya-Sin, and Avonte Maddox and Brian Branch factoring inside.
  • With no cornerbacks on the practice squad, the Lions are evaluating an addition for depth and to support practice reps.
  • Detroit improved to 3-1 with a 34-10 win over Cleveland as Reed notched an interception before exiting and Aidan Hutchinson delivered two sacks and a forced fumble.
