Lions' Cade Mays: Staying on IR
Mays (wrist) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Cardinals.
Mays' 21-day window to return from injured reserve opened Wednesday, and he was a limited practice participant all week. He's not quite ready to return, but with the Lions on a bye for Week 6, Mays' next chance to play is Week 7 against Green Bay on Sunday, Oct. 25.

Lions' Ben Bartch: Won't play Week 5
Bartch (foot) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against Arizona.
A foot injury will prevent Bartch from playing in a third consecutive game. The Lions are on a bye for Week 6, so he'll have additional time to recover ahead of Detroit's Week 7 home tilt against the Packers on Sunday, Oct. 25.

Lions' Rock Ya-Sin: Ruled out for Sunday
Ya-Sin (hamstring) has been ruled out ahead of Sunday's game against the Cardinals.
Ya-Sin has not practiced since he sustained a hamstring injury during the Lions' Week 4 loss to the Panthers. In the cornerback's absence, Khalil Dorsey or Keith Abney is set to be the primary backup at outside cornerback behind starters D.J. Reed and Ennis Rakestraw.

Lions' Brian Branch: Won't return for Week 5
Branch (Achilles) has been ruled out ahead of Sunday's game against the Cardinals.
Branch returned to practice Wednesday after the Lions opened up his 21-day practice window. The strong safety managed to log limited practice in all three Week 5 prep sessions but is not quite ready to return to the field. Christian Izien will continue to start at strong safety while Branch puts the finishing touches on his recovery.

Lions' Cade Mays: Returning to practice Wednesday
The Lions designated Mays (wrist) for return from injured reserve Wednesday, Richard Silva of The Detroit News reports.
The move opens a 21-day window during which Mays can be officially activated from IR before he'd have to stay there for the rest of the campaign. Once he has fully recovered from the wrist fracture he sustained during the preseason, he projects to take over the starting center job from free-agent acquisition Juice Scruggs.

Lions' Brian Branch: Returns to practice Wednesday
Branch (Achilles) had his 21-day practice window opened by the Lions on Sunday, Richard Silva of The Detroit News reports.
Branch was limited in Wednesday's practice, but it was an encouraging sign to see the fourth-year pro back on the field following a lengthy recovery from a torn Achilles that he sustained in early December of 2025. The Lions' secondary has been one of the worst in the league this season, and while Branch's return would be a significant upgrade to the unit, he'll likely need to log multiple full practices before being activated from the reserve/PUP list. While unlikely, Branch's first opportunity to make his 2026 debut is Sunday against the Cardinals.
