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.

Lions' Amon-Ra St. Brown: Six catches in Week 5 win
St. Brown secured six of 11 targets for 69 yards and committed two fumbles that remained with Detroit in the Lions' 45-21 win over the Cardinals on Sunday.
St. Brown fell below his usual lofty standards with his numbers, but the star receiver still finished with team-high reception and target totals, while also slotting in as the runner-up in receiving yards. St. Brown remains as integral a component of the Lions' air attack as ever, as he now has back-to-back 11-target games and has already seen 57 passes come his way overall in the first five contests of the campaign. St. Brown has turned those opportunities into a 37-372-5 line, and he'll be looking to snap a two-game touchdown drought when the Lions return to action in a NFC North home clash against the Packers on Sunday, Oct. 25 following a Week 6 bye.

Lions' Jahmyr Gibbs: Eclipses 200 scrimmage yards in win
Gibbs rushed 25 times for 151 yards and two touchdowns while bringing in five of six targets for 56 yards in the Lions' 45-21 win over the Cardinals on Sunday.
Gibbs, and the Lions' offense as a whole, had a somewhat quiet start to the game, but the star running back soon began breaking through against the Cardinals defense and ultimately turned in another dominant performance. Gibbs recorded his first touchdown from one yard out early in the second quarter and went on to add a three-yard scoring rush with just over five minutes remaining to seal the high-scoring victory. Gibbs' finished with his second-highest rushing yardage total of the season, and the multi-touchdown tally on the ground was already his third of the campaign. The 2023 first-round pick is up to 504 rushing yards, 243 receiving yards and nine total touchdowns heading into a Week 7 divisional home matchup against the Packers on Sunday, Oct. 25 following a Week 6 bye.

Lions' Devin White: Likely set for surgery
White suffered a broken forearm during Sunday's 45-21 win over the Cardinals, Eric Woodyard of ESPN.com reports.
White sustained the injury in the first half, and head coach Dan Campbell said that "it doesn't look good" for the linebacker following the victory. White's injury will likely require surgery, and it's unclear exactly how long he'd be sidelined, if that's the case.

Lions' Tom Kennedy: Leaves game on crutches
Kennedy (knee) left Sunday's 45-21 win over the Cardinals on crutches, Richard Silva of The Detroit News reports.
Kennedy suffered a right knee injury in the second quarter, and he had a brace on it as he departed the stadium Sunday. The wide receiver appears to be set to miss action moving forward, and his absence will mostly impact the team's special-teams unit.

Lions' Tom Kennedy: Downgrades to out Sunday
Kennedy (knee) has been ruled out for the remainder of Sunday's game against the Cardinals.
Kennedy suffered a knee injury early in the second quarter and was evaluated for it. The injury is significant enough to keep the wide receiver out of the entire second half, leaving Amon-Ra St. Brown to take over return duties in his stead.

Lions' Tom Kennedy: Exits early with knee issue
Kennedy (knee) is questionable to return to Sunday's contest against the Cardinals.
Kennedy suffered a knee injury on a punt return early in the second quarter, and almost every Lion was down on one knee as the medical staff tended to him, per Richard Silva of The Detroit News. The wide receiver seems unlikely to be available for the rest of the contest, and in his absence, Amon-Ra St. Brown has taken over as Detroit's primary punt returner.

Lions' Devin White: Carted off Sunday
White (forearm) is questionable to return to Sunday's contest versus Arizona.
White was carted off the field following a forearm injury early in the first half, and his availability for the rest of the game is now uncertain. In his absence, Malcolm Rodriguez is a top candidate to operate in a more prominent role at outside linebacker.

Lions' Tyleik Williams: Available versus Arizona
Williams (foot) is active for Sunday's game against the Cardinals.
Williams was spotted wearing a walking boot and didn't practice Wednesday. He logged limited practice sessions Thursday and Friday but still couldn't avoid a questionable designation. However, Williams has since been cleared for action after amassing a season-high six total tackles in the 32-26 loss to Carolina in Week 4.

Lions' Jackson Meeks: Healthy scratch in Week 5
Meeks (coach's decision) is inactive for Sunday's game against Arizona.
Meeks appeared in the Lions' first four games of the 2026 campaign but will be a healthy scratch in Week 5. The 23-year-old hasn't had a productive season, catching his only target for eight yards.
