Lions' Kerby Joseph: Remains out for Week 9
Lions head coach Dan Campbell said Tuesday that Joseph (knee) will not play in Week 9 against the Dolphins, but is expected to see scout-team reps, Nolan Bianchi of The Detroit News reports.
Joseph returned to practice in Week 8 in limited fashion, after beginning the season on the reserve/PUP list with a knee injury suffered during the 2025 season. The 25-year-old appears to be on track in his practice progression as he began reps with the scout team Tuesday. His next opportunity to play will be in Week 10 against New England on Sunday, Nov. 15.

Lions' Jake Bates: Misses field goal in win
Bates made two of his three field-goal attempts and his sole PAT in the Lions' 19-15 win over the Vikings on Sunday.
Bates converted field goals from 25 yards and 37 yards while missing a 46-yarder in the third quarter off the left upright. The kicker is now 12-for-13 on field-goal attempts and a perfect 23-for-23 on PATs through seven regular-season games in 2026.

Lions' D.J. Reed: Set to miss Wednesday's practice
Reed (hip) is not expected to practice Wednesday, Nolan Bianchi of The Detroit News reports.
Reed suffered a hip injury late in the fourth quarter of Sunday's game against the Vikings and did not return to the contest. The cornerback's injury appears to be significant enough for Coach Dan Campbell to make a prediction about his Wednesday status. It remains unclear whether or not the starting cornerback will participate in any practice sessions ahead of the team's Week 9 game against the Dolphins.

Lions' Jacob Saylors: Not expected to practice Wednesday
Saylors (neck) is not expected to practice Wednesday, Nolan Bianchi of The Detroit News reports.
Saylor's neck injury is significant enough that Coach Dan Campbell felt comfortable declaring him doubtful to practice multiple days in advance. The running back couldn't return to Sunday's win over the Vikings because of the injury, and it remains unclear how long he will miss.

Lions' Jimmy Rolder: Done for the season
Rolder will miss the remainder of the season due to a hamstring injury, Nolan Bianchi of The Detroit News reports.
Rolder sustained the season-ending injury during Detroit's win over the Vikings on Sunday. The 22-year-old will finish his rookie campaign with 11 tackles (seven solo), including 1.0 sacks, and will now shift his focus to getting healthy for next season.

Lions' Cade Mays: Dealing with ankle sprain
Mays sustained a low ankle sprain during Detroit's win over the Vikings on Sunday, Jeremy Fowler of ESPN reports.
Mays missed the first five games of the season while recovering from a fractured wrist and is now in danger of missing additional time. Juice Scruggs will likely take over as the team's starting center while Mays is sidelined.

Lions' Jack Campbell: Team issues positive update
The Lions announced Monday that "preliminary indications are positive" for Campbell (neck), who continues to rest and recover at a Detroit-area hospital.
Detroit won't share any further information on Campbell's status while evaluations remain ongoing, but head coach Dan Campbell said he met with the linebacker and his family at the hospital following Sunday's 19-15 win over the Vikings and noted that everyone was in good spirits, per Colton Pouncy of The Athletic. After finishing off a tackle of Vikings tight end T.J. Hockenson in the fourth quarter, Campbell remained face down on the turf for several minutes before he was strapped to a spinal board and carted off the field.

Lions' Sione Vaki: Totals 70 yards in win over Minnesota
Vaki rushed 11 times for 65 yards in Sunday's 19-15 win over the Vikings. He added one catch for five yards on one target.
With Jared Goff struggling against the Vikings' blitz-heavy defense, the Lions dished out 34 carries to Jahmyr Gibbs and Vaki. It was Vaki's most extensive action of the season, and coach Dan Campbell said afterward that the Lions' RB2 took a "big step" and earned a lot of trust with his performance, according to Nolan Bianchi of The Detroit News. It's unclear if that will translate to more opportunities, but it's clear Vaki has cemented himself as Gibbs' backup and a quality bench stash in fantasy leagues.

Lions' Sam LaPorta: Quiet in Week 8 win
LaPorta caught three of five targets for 33 yards in Sunday's 19-15 win over the Vikings. He added two rushing yards on one attempt.
After being limited to 1-18-0 on two targets in last Sunday's victory over the Packers, LaPorta remained quiet in a second straight divisional matchup with a formidable defense. A Week 9 date with the Dolphins will present a get-right spot for the tight end, who has 31 grabs for 367 yards and three touchdowns through seven games this season. LaPorta will be a locked-in TE1 play against Miami.

Lions' Jameson Williams: Game-winning TD in divisional clash
Williams brought in four of six targets for 70 yards and a touchdown in the Lions' 19-15 win over the Vikings on Sunday.
Williams ended up leading the Lions in receiving yards on the day while checking in second to Amon-Ra St. Brown in receptions and targets. The fourth-year speedster also delivered the biggest catch of the day, recording a seven-yard touchdown grab with 4:35 remaining that proved to be the game-winning score. Williams has recorded all five of his touchdown receptions on the season within the last three games, and he has at least Sunday's yardage tally in three of the last four heading into a Week 9 road matchup against the Dolphins.

Lions' Jared Goff: Clutch TD toss in win
Goff completed 18 of 25 passes for 176 yards with a touchdown and an interception and added three carries for no gain in the Lions' 19-15 win over the Vikings on Sunday.
Goff unsurprisingly saw his production limited by the Vikings' aggressive defense, and he took four sacks overall while also tossing his first interception of the season. The veteran signal-caller also saw a 24-yard first-quarter scoring strike to Amon-Ra St. Brown overturned on replay, but Goff's beautifully thrown seven-yard TD pass to Jameson Williams in the left corner of the end zone with 4:35 remaining turned out to be the difference in the game. Goff will take 1,964 passing yards and a 15:1 TD:INT into a Week 9 road matchup against the Dolphins next Sunday.
