Lions' Thomas Harper: Set to start
Harper (concussion) doesn't carry an injury designation ahead of Sunday's game against the Steelers.
Harper was a full participant in practice this week and has officially cleared concussion protocol. The free safety has avoided an injury designation just in time to take up the mantle of starting free safety from an injured Kerby Joseph (knee). Harper's last starting opportunity was in Week 13 against the Packers, when he totaled four tackles (one solo) through 58 defensive snaps.

Lions' Thomas Harper: Full practice Wednesday
Harper (concussion) was a Richard Silva of The Detroit News in Wednesday's practice.
It's unclear if Harper remains in the league's concussion protocol, but it appears he has a good chance to suit up Sunday against the Steelers after missing last Sunday's loss to the Rams. With Brian Branch (Achilles) out and Kerby Joseph dealing with a knee injury, Harper could be in line for heavy snaps on defense against Pittsburgh.

Lions' Thomas Harper: Won't play Week 15
Harper (concussion) has been ruled out for Sunday's game versus the Rams.
Harper sustained a concussion during the Week 14 win over the Cowboys on Thursday Night Football. The 25-year-old was limited throughout this week of practice and deemed questionable on Friday, but he'll ultimately miss at least one more game with this issue. With fellow safeties Brian Branch (Achilles) and Kerby Joseph (knee) both ruled out as well, veterans Daniel Thomas, Avonte Maddox and Jalen Mills will all likely take on bigger roles versus LA.

Lions' Thomas Harper: Questionable to play Sunday
Harper (concussion) is questionable for Sunday's matchup against the Rams, Eric Woodyard of ESPN.com reports.
Harper was a limited participant in all three practices heading into Week 15. The 25-year-old suffered a concussion in the Lions' Week 14 win over Dallas and will need to clear the league's five-step concussion protocol before having a chance to play Sunday against the Rams.

Lions' Thomas Harper: Logs limited session Wednesday
Harper (concussion) logged a limited practice Wednesday.
Harper suffered a concussion in Detroit's Week 14 win over Dallas, so it's no surprise that he was limited to begin the week. He'll have to work through concussion protocol before being cleared to play Sunday against the Rams, which will likely require at least one full practice session.

Lions' Thomas Harper: Done for night
Harper (concussion) has been ruled out for the rest of Thursday night's matchup with the Cowboys, Greg Auman of Fox Sports reports.
Harper sustained a concussion in the first quarter, and he will now be forced to sit out the remainder of the night. Daniel Thomas will continue to operate in a more significant role at safety in Harper's absence versus Dallas.

Lions' Thomas Harper: Dealing with head injury
Harper (head) is being evaluated for a concussion in Thursday's contest against the Cowboys.
Harper took a blow to the head while tackling George Pickens in the first quarter, ultimately heading directly to the locker room afterwards. The safety's status for the rest of the game is now up in the air, and in his absence, Daniel Thomas stands to step into a more prominent role in Detroit's secondary.

Lions' Thomas Harper: Picks off Winston in Week 12
Harper tallied six total tackles (five solo) and two passes defensed, including one interception, in Sunday's 34-27 overtime win over the Giants.
The second-year pro from Notre Dame made an impact while starting in place of the injured Kerby Joseph (knee) in Week 12, picking off Jameis Winston in the fourth quarter. Harper has now started five games in a row for the Lions, recording 22 total tackles and three passes defensed, including an interception, during that span. He could remain the starter at free safety if Joseph is unable to return for the Week 13 matchup against the Packers on Thursday.

Raiders' Thomas Harper: Makes 26 stops in rookie year
Harper racked up 26 tackles (13 solo), including 0.5 sacks, across 15 regular-season appearances with the Raiders in 2024. He also had two passes defensed, one interception and one fumble recovery.
Harper played mostly on special teams to begin his rookie campaign, but after the Raiders' bye in Week 10 he handled a consistent depth role on defense. With two years remaining on his contract with the team, Harper will spend the offseason working to continue his development.

Raiders' Thomas Harper: First career INT in Week 17
Harper finished Sunday's 25-10 win over the Saints with three tackles (one solo), including 0.5 sacks, and one interception.
Harper combined with Andre Carter to sack Spencer Rattler for a three-yard loss late in the fourth quarter. Six plays later, Harper grabbed his first career interception when he picked off Rattler on a pass intended for tight end Juwan Johnson. Harper, who the Raiders claimed off waivers in late August, has seen increased work on defense since Las Vegas' Week 10 bye after serving primarily on special teams in the first half of the season. The 24-year-old safety could get an extended look on defense during the Raiders' regular-season finale against Justin Herbert and the Chargers on Sunday.
