Lions' Rock Ya-Sin: Reliable option for Detroit in 2025
Rotowire
Ya-Sin recorded 47 total tackles (27 solo) and nine passes defensed over 17 games during the 2025 regular season.
Ya-Sin was one of the few Lions defensive backs that was able to make it through the season unscathed, compiling a career-high nine passes defensed while playing all 17 regular-season contests for the first time in his seven NFL campaigns. The cornerback had combined to play just 311 defensive snaps over the two previous years with the Ravens and 49ers, but due to Terrion Arnold (shoulder) missing nine contests, Ya-Sin was able to log 604 snaps on defensive in 2025. Ya-Sin is set to enter free agency in the offseason, and whether it's Detroit or elsewhere, he proved he can still be a starting option for a team moving forward next season.

Rotowire
Ya-Sin (knee) will be inactive for Sunday's AFC Champhionship Game versus Kansas City.
Ya-Sin is dealing with a knee issue that left him sidelined during practice Thursday. While he logged a full session Friday, the 27-year-old ultimately will be sidelined for Sunday's playoff game. Ya-Sin has been a consistent contributor as a reserve cornerback this season while also seeing significant playing time on special teams, tallying 13 tackles over 14 appearances.
