Lions' Isaac TeSlaa: Held without catch in Week 5 win
TeSlaa failed to haul in either of his two targets during the Lions' 45-21 win over the Cardinals on Sunday.
It was the second time in five games this season that TeSlaa did not record a catch, but he still logged the third-most offensive snaps among Lions wide receivers, though he was well behind Jameson Williams (59) and Amon-Ra St. Brown (57). TeSlaa has a 9-187-0 receiving line on 19 targets this season, though his scoring ceiling will continue to be quite low as long as Jared Goff has Williams, St. Brown, Jahmyr Gibbs and Sam LaPorta at his disposal. The Lions will rest up during their Week 6 bye before playing at home in three of their next four games, starting in Week 7 with an NFC North showdown against the Packers on Sunday, Oct. 25.

Lions' Devin White: Expected to return this season
Head coach Dan Campbell confirmed Monday that White (forearm) will need surgery but is expected to return "at some point" later this season, Richard Silva of The Detroit News reports.
White broke his forearm during the first half of Sunday's 45-21 win over the Cardinals. He'll likely be placed on injured reserve over the coming days, but Campbell has at least left the door open for White to return this season once fully healthy. Malcolm Rodriguez figures to step into a starting role at linebacker for as long as White is sidelined.

Lions' Tom Kennedy: Season-ending surgery confirmed
Head coach Dan Campbell confirmed Monday that Kennedy will undergo season-ending surgery to repair an MCL injury in his right knee, Nolan Bianchi of The Detroit News reports.
Kennedy sustained the knee injury while returning a punt during the second quarter of Sunday's 45-21 win over the Cardinals. The veteran wide receiver is an unrestricted free agent this offseason, but he'll nonetheless shift his focus toward being fully healthy for the 2027 season. Jacob Saylors will take over return duties on kickoffs and may also work as a returner on punts given the Lions' hesitation to use Amon-Ra St. Brown as the full-time returner on punts, per Bianchi.

Lions' Tom Kennedy: Done for 2026
Kennedy suffered a season-ending MCL injury in his right knee during the Lions' 45-21 win over the Cardinals on Sunday, Mike Garafolo of NFL Network reports.
Kennedy suffered the injury early in the second quarter on a punt return for 11 yards. He was spotted on crutches following Sunday's contest, and further tests revealed that the MCL injury is significant enough for Kennedy to undergo season-ending surgery. He'll shift his focus toward rehab in the hopes that he's fully healthy for the start of the 2027 season, though he'll enter the offseason as an unrestricted free agent. In Kennedy's absence, Jacob Saylors figures to take over return duties on kickoffs, although whether the Lions go with star wide receiver Amon-Ra St. Brown or another option on punt returns remains to be seen.

Lions' Jake Bates: Makes six PATs, one field goal vs. Arizona
Bates made his lone field-goal attempt and converted on all six of his extra-point tries during Sunday's 45-21 win over the Cardinals.
The Lions' offense scoring six touchdowns, three on the ground and three through the air, so most of Bates' work came on extra points and kickoffs, though he also connected on a 46-yard field-goal late in the second quarter to give the Lions a 24-7 lead. Bates has attempted one field goal in four of the first five games of the regular season, although his 20 extra-point makes leads the NFL. The Lions are on a bye for Week 6, so their next game will take place Week 7 at home against the Packers on Sunday, Oct. 25.

Lions' Jared Goff: Four total TDs in win
Goff completed 19 of 30 passes for 271 yards with three touchdowns and no interceptions while adding a one-yard touchdown on his only rush attempt in the Lions' 45-21 win over the Cardinals on Sunday. He also committed a fumble recovered by Detroit.
The Lions offense got off to a generally non-descript start during a scoreless first quarter, but Goff helped fuel a 24-point breakout in the second quarter that set the tone for the lopsided win. Goff connected with Sam LaPorta (38 yards) and Jameson Williams (eight yards) for a pair of scoring tosses before halftime, and he added a 39-yard strike to Jameson Williams early in the third quarter before adding his one yard scoring dive late in the period. Goff has generated multi-TD-pass efforts in four of the first five games and has yet to throw an interception, so he heads into the Week 6 bye that will precede a Week 7 home divisional showdown against the Packers on Oct. 25 with 1,485 passing yards and a 12:0 TD:INT.

Lions' Sam LaPorta: Leads air attack in lopsided victory
LaPorta brought in all five of his targets for 88 yards and a touchdown in the Lions' 45-21 win over the Cardinals on Sunday.
The athletic tight end was a constant presence in the air attack during the high-scoring victory, and he finished with a season-high yardage total that also set the pace for the Lions on the afternoon. LaPorta also contributed his third touchdown of the campaign -- and his second in as many games -- with a 38-yard grab in the second quarter. LaPorta has his two highest yardage tallies of the season in the last two games, which affords him plenty of momentum heading into the Week 6 bye that precedes a Week 7 divisional showdown at home against the Packers on Sunday, Oct. 25.

Lions' Jameson Williams: Breaks season-long TD drought
Williams brought in two of four targets for 47 yards and two touchdowns in the Lions' 45-21 win over the Cardinals on Sunday.
Williams made good use of both his receptions by recording his first two touchdowns of the campaign, which came from eight and 39 yards out. The speedy 2022 first-round pick had already managed another first in Week 4 against the Panthers when he eclipsed the century mark, and Williams now has reached another milestone in what has been a reasonably productive start to the season. Williams is now averaging a robust 15.3 yards per reception heading into the Lions' Week 6 bye, and he should continue to play an important downfield role in a divisional showdown with the Packers at Ford Field on Sunday, Oct. 25.
