Trevor Bates: Cut loose by Detroit
Bates was let go by the Lions on Monday.
This news comes on the heels of an arrest in late January, in which Bates was cited for felony of intent to cause physical injury to an officer and four misdemeanors, per Michael Rothstein of ESPN.com. The 25-year-old suited up in just nine games in 2018, making three tackles (one solo). Bates plead not guilty to his charges, but would still be a long shot to sign with a new team before his legal battle concludes.

Lions' Trevor Bates: Unavailable Week 14
Bates (ankle) was ruled out for Sunday's game against the Cardinals.
Bates began the week not practicing but progressed to limited participation Thursday and Friday, though apparently he didn't show enough to avoid being ruled out. The 25-year-old has played only two defensive snaps in six games, so his absence is unlikely to impact the Lions defense.

Lions' Trevor Bates: Not practicing Wednesday
Bates (ankle) didn't practice Wednesday.
Bates continues to nurse an ankle injury he sustained during practice last week. A potential absence this weekend in Arizona likely wouldn't prove too costly for the Lions, as Bates has been limited largely to special-teams duties this season.

Lions' Trevor Bates: Out of lineup Sunday
Bates (ankle) is inactive for Sunday's game versus the Rams.
Bates suffered this injury late in the practice week and was unable to recover in time. He works mainly in a special-teams role, and his absence will make Kelvin Sheppard the No. 2 middle linebacker in Week 13.

Lions' Trevor Bates: Suffers ankle injury
Bates sustained an ankle injury and is questionable for Sunday's game against the Rams, Dave Birkett of the Detroit Free Press reports.
Bates was a late addition to the injury report Saturday so the specifics and severity of the injury remain unclear. The 25-year-old has played only two defensive snaps since being promoted from the practice squad in mid-October, so the Lions defense is unlikely to be impacted should he be inactive Sunday.

Lions' Trevor Bates: Promoted to active roster
Bates was signed from the Lions' practice squad to the active roster Monday.
Bates spent the offseason with Detroit but didn't manage to secure a Week 1 roster spot. He'll likely operate as a backup to Jarrad Davis at middle linebacker. Barring injury, Bates shouldn't be expected to see significant time early on.
