Note: Any changes from the last injury report will be <strong>bolded<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<ul class=\"duet--article--unordered-list _1nfb3k4i feuejx0 ls9zuh1\">\n<li class=\"feuejx1\">RB Jacob Saylors (back)<\/li>\n<li class=\"feuejx1\">DL Pat O\u2019Connor (knee)<\/li>\n<li class=\"feuejx1\">S Kerby Joseph (knee)<\/li>\n<li class=\"feuejx1\">G Miles Frazier (knee, still on PUP) \u2014 <strong>Days remaining in evaluation: 18<\/strong><\/li>\n<li class=\"feuejx1\">EDGE Josh Paschal (back, still on NFI) \u2014 <strong>Days remaining in evaluation: 18<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">Saylors showed up on the practice report as limited on Wednesday and has not practiced since. That indicates he most likely was injured during practice, and like most mid-week injuries, he couldn\u2019t get healthy enough to participate on Sunday.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">O\u2019Connor has not practiced this week, and with no clear injury happening in last week\u2019s game, it\u2019s unclear the significance of his injury beyond forcing him to miss this weekend\u2019s contest. Hopefully, we\u2019ll get an update soon. His absence could open up an opportunity for Mekhi Wingo or Quinton Jefferson to play this Sunday.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">Joseph continues to rehab his knee, and while progress is moving slower than expected, he is reportedly getting better. Look for Thomas Harper to continue to start in Joseph\u2019s place, making this his third game in a row he\u2019ll be featured at free safety.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">\u201cHe\u2019s going to need a little bit here,\u201d Lions coach Dan Campbell said last week. \u201cSo, the negative is, yeah, I don\u2019t think he\u2019s going to play. The positive is he is getting better. He really is. It\u2019s just going to take a minute here. So, that\u2019s kind of where we\u2019re at.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">Frazier and Paschal are still working to return from their offseason injuries and will remain on their respective injury lists for at least another week. Rodriguez will have another week of practice before a decision will need to be made, while the others still have two more weeks remaining in their injury evaluation windows.<\/p>\n<ul class=\"duet--article--unordered-list _1nfb3k4i feuejx0 ls9zuh1\">\n<li class=\"feuejx1\">RB Craig Reynolds (hamstring)<\/li>\n<li class=\"feuejx1\">LT Taylor Decker (shoulder\/rest)<\/li>\n<li class=\"feuejx1\">OT Dan Skipper (back)<\/li>\n<li class=\"feuejx1\">LB Grant Stuard (foot)<\/li>\n<li class=\"feuejx1\">LB Malcolm Rodriguez (ACL, still on PUP) <strong>\u2014 Days remaining in evaluation: 10<\/strong><\/li>\n<li class=\"feuejx1\">S Daniel Thomas (forearm, still on IR) \u2014 <strong>Days remaining in evaluation: 9<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">Reynolds returned to practice this week and looks like he\u2019ll have a chance to get back to game action. With Saylors ruled out, Reynolds will join Sione Vaki as reserve running backs on offense, and likely start as kick returners on special teams.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">Decker didn\u2019t practice on Wednesday or Friday, but he looked good enough on Thursday that Campbell said they\u2019re expecting him to start on Sunday. On Thursday, Decker also told the media that he expects to start at left tackle. With \u201crest\u201d added to his injury designation, he seems likely to play.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">Skipper has been working through a back injury, and like the other offensive tackles, he looks on track to play despite missing practice on Wednesday. The Lions\u2019 lack of roster moves on the offensive line also suggests Skipper is in line to play a reserve role on Sunday.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">Stuard has been nursing a foot injury all week, but has attended all three of the Lions\u2019 practices. He looks on track to play unless he suffers a setback between now and game time.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">Rodriguez and Thomas are listed as questionable (the second week in a row for Thomas), suggesting that the Lions believe they could be healthy enough to return to the active roster. Because the team is traveling this weekend, expect them to announce a decision on both players around 4 p.m. ET on Saturday, whether it\u2019s an activation or a downgrade to out.<\/p>\n<p>Not listed with an injury designation<\/p>\n<ul class=\"duet--article--unordered-list _1nfb3k4i feuejx0 ls9zuh1\">\n<li class=\"feuejx1\">RT Penei Sewell (shoulder)<\/li>\n<li class=\"feuejx1\">LB Ty Summers (hand)<\/li>\n<li class=\"feuejx1\">CB Terrion Arnold (shoulder)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">Sewell didn\u2019t miss a snap last week despite injuring his shoulder, and while he took Wednesday off practice, he practiced on Thursday and Friday. With no injury designation, he will start on Sunday.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">Summers injured his thumb in Week 9 and was signed to the active roster on Wednesday. While he\u2019s been on the injury report all week, he\u2019s been practicing in full and looks to be good to go.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">Arnold is still working through a shoulder injury, but he played last week, has practiced in full this week, and should be in line to start against the Commanders.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Commanders\u2019 injury <\/strong>designations<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">Note: Starters are <strong>bolded<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<ul class=\"duet--article--unordered-list _1nfb3k4i feuejx0 ls9zuh1\">\n<li class=\"feuejx1\"><strong>QB Jayden Daniels (left elbow)<\/strong><\/li>\n<li class=\"feuejx1\"><strong>WR Terry McLaurin (quad)<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul class=\"duet--article--unordered-list _1nfb3k4i feuejx0 ls9zuh1\">\n<li class=\"feuejx1\">DT Eddie Goldman (concussion) \u2014 had two full practices this week<\/li>\n<li class=\"feuejx1\"><strong>S Quan Martin (hamstring)<\/strong> <\/li>\n<li class=\"feuejx1\">S Tyler Owens (hamstring\/<strong>neck<\/strong>)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\"><strong>Not listed with an injury designation<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul class=\"duet--article--unordered-list _1nfb3k4i feuejx0 ls9zuh1\">\n<li class=\"feuejx1\"><strong>RB Jacory Croskey-Merritt (tooth)<\/strong> <\/li>\n<li class=\"feuejx1\">TE Colston Yankoff (hamstring)<\/li>\n<li class=\"feuejx1\"><strong>LT Laremy Tunsil (hamstring\/rest)<\/strong> <\/li>\n<li class=\"feuejx1\">DT Jer\u2019Zhan Newton (ankle)<\/li>\n<li class=\"feuejx1\"><strong>LB Bobby Wagner (thumb)<\/strong><\/li>\n<li class=\"feuejx1\"><strong>CB Trey Amos (hip)<\/strong> \u2014 upgraded to full practice on Friday<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The Detroit Lions (5-3) and Washington Commanders (3-6) have declared their injury designations ahead of their Week 10&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":364377,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[39],"tags":[49994,27705,1232,62,67,132,68],"class_list":{"0":"post-364376","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-nfl","8":"tag-detroit-lions-injury-report","9":"tag-detroit-lions-news","10":"tag-nfl","11":"tag-sports","12":"tag-united-states","13":"tag-unitedstates","14":"tag-us"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@us\/115513774888136828","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/364376","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=364376"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/364376\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/364377"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=364376"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=364376"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=364376"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
