Isaac TeSlaa Isaac TeSlaa Quiet again Sunday
Tue, Nov 10, 2026, 9:18 PM
TeSlaa registered one catch for nine yards on two targets in Sunday's 19-9 win over Miami.
Analysis: Jared Goff threw to TeSlaa twice on Detroit's opening drive but didn't turn to him again for the remainder of the contest. The second-year wideout thus continued a very unproductive stretch, as he's logged just two catches for 19 yards on six targets over his past four games. TeSlaa is still working as Detroit's No. 3 wideout -- among Lions wide receivers, only Jameson Williams and Amon-Ra St. Brown logged more offensive snaps Sunday -- but looks just aren't coming his way. He'll try to break out of the funk next Sunday against New England. |
Sione Vaki Sione Vaki Totals 21 yards vs. Miami
Tue, Nov 10, 2026, 8:03 PM
Vaki turned three carries into 14 yards and hauled in both of his targets for seven yards during the Lions'
Analysis: Vaki entered Week 9 on the heels of an 11-carry performance against the Vikings in Week 8, but the third-year running back saw his offensive touches slashed in half Sunday while operating as the Lions' RB2 behind Jahmyr Gibbs. Through eight regular-season games, Vaki has turned 30 carries into 135 yards and added seven catches on eight targets for 64 yards. He'll continue to operate as a complementary piece while Isiah Pacheco (back) is on injured reserve, with the latter not expected to return until late December. The Lions will travel to Munich for Week 10 against the Patriots on Nov. 15. |
Ruled out in Week 10
Tue, Nov 10, 2026, 4:50 PM
Lions head coach Dan Campbell ruled Joseph (knee) out for Sunday's game against the Patriots, Nolan Bianchi of The Detroit News reports.
Analysis: Joseph has yet to play in 2026 due to a lingering knee injury suffered in 2025. With the 25-year-old out for Week 10, the Lions have one more week before his 21-day practice window closes. If Joseph is unable to return, he will stay on the PUP for the remainder of the season. Chuck Clark will continue to start in his place. |
Sam LaPorta Sam LaPorta Not viewed as trade candidate
Tue, Nov 10, 2026, 10:05 AM
The Lions have received trade calls on LaPorta leading up to Tuesday's deadline, but the team prefers to keep him with the hope of signing the tight end to a long-term deal, Jeremy Fowler of ESPN.com reports.
Analysis: Earlier in the season, LaPorta expressed his frustration with the Lions for the organization's inability to come to terms on an extension with him, but both sides still appear to be on good terms and willing to re-engage in discussions on a new deal before he becomes a free agent in 2027. The fourth-year tight end has likely helped his case for earning a lucrative contract by having thus far stayed healthy throughout the season while putting together a 35-399-3 receiving line on 49 targets over the Lions' first eight games. |

Traded to Detroit
Mon, Nov 9, 2026, 4:31 PM
The Lions acquired Cisco from the Jets on Monday in exchange for a 2028 sixth-round pick, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.
Analysis: Cisco will now suit up for his third NFL team after spending time with the Jaguars and Jets since entering the league in 2021. In 80 regular-season games, the 26-year-old has accumulated 293 total tackles (197 solo), including 2.5 sacks, and four forced fumbles. Although Detroit expects Kerby Joseph (knee) to be back on the field soon, Cisco will provide much-needed depth at the safety position. |
Jake Bates Jake Bates Powers offense in win
Sun, Nov 8, 2026, 10:33 PM
Bates went 4-for-4 on field-goal attempts and made his only extra-point try during Sunday's 19-9 win over the Dolphins.
Analysis: Bates was able to make multiple field goals for the third straight game after having done so just once over the team's first five contests this year. The kicker converted attempts from 28 and 40 yards in the first half before adding makes from 33 and 43 yards after the break. Bates has now gone 16-for-17 on field-goal tries while making all 24 of his PATs over eight games during the 2026 campaign to this point. |

Sam LaPorta Sam LaPorta Quiet on four catches Sunday
Sun, Nov 8, 2026, 5:37 PM
LaPorta brought in four of five targets for 32 yards in the Lions' 19-9 win over the Dolphins on Sunday.
Analysis: LaPorta finished a distant second in receptions, receiving yards and targets on a quiet day for the Lions' passing attack. The fourth-year tight end had back-to-back 80-plus-yard efforts in Weeks 4 and 5, but he's totaled a modest 83 total receiving yards over the subsequent three contests. LaPorta will look to boost his production back up in the Week 10 matchup against the Patriots in Germany next Sunday. |
Jameson Williams Jameson Williams Two touches in Week 9 win
Sun, Nov 8, 2026, 5:22 PM
Williams brought in one of two targets for 31 yards and rushed once for nine yards in the Lions' 19-9 win over the Dolphins on Sunday.
Analysis: Williams and the rest of the Lions' air attack had a quiet afternoon, as Jared Goff threw for just 170 yards overall. Williams was efficient on his two touches, but he finished with a new season low in receiving yards. The 2022 first-round pick, who's averaging 16.7 yards per reception on the season, will likely be busier in a Week 10 matchup against the Patriots in Germany next Sunday. |
Jared Goff Jared Goff Quiet day in Week 9 win
Sun, Nov 8, 2026, 5:18 PM
Goff completed 17 of 25 passes for 170 yards with no touchdowns and one interception while also rushing four times for five yards in the Lions' 19-9 win over the Dolphins on Sunday.
Analysis: Goff was the latest quarterback to scuffle some against a Dolphins defense that's fought hard all season, as the veteran signal-caller took three sacks and finished with a new season low in passing yards. Goff also failed to throw a touchdown for the first time this season, and he threw a pick for the second time in as many games after going without an interception for the first six contests of the campaign. Goff has completed at least 68.0 percent of his passes in three straight games heading into a Week 10 matchup against the Patriots in Germany next Sunday. |
Amon-Ra St. Brown Amon-Ra St. Brown Eight catches in Week 9 win
Sun, Nov 8, 2026, 4:17 PM
St. Brown brought in eight of 10 targets for 86 yards in the Lions' 19-9 win over the Dolphins on Sunday.
Analysis: St. Brown set the pace across the board for the Lions in receptions, receiving yards and targets. St. Brown was playing through a rib issue that had limited him throughout the practice week, but he turned in an efficient effort that included his fifth straight game with six or more catches. St. Brown's touchdown drought did extend to five games, and he'll once again aim to snap it in next Sunday's Week 10 matchup against the Patriots in Germany. |
Jahmyr Gibbs Jahmyr Gibbs Rush TD in Week 9 win
Sun, Nov 8, 2026, 4:12 PM
Gibbs rushed 20 times for 74 yards and a touchdown and failed to bring in his only target in the Lions' 19-9 win over the Dolphins on Sunday.
Analysis: It was a relatively quiet day by Gibbs' lofty standards against a Dolphins team that's proven to have plenty of fight despite its losing record. The standout back salvaged his fantasy day with an eight-yard touchdown run late in the third quarter, Gibbs' second score on the ground in as many games and ninth overall. Gibbs failed to record at least one reception for the first time this season, but he's already amassed 1,132 scrimmage yards and 11 total touchdowns across eight games heading into next Sunday's showdown against the Patriots in Germany. |
Jacob Saylors Jacob Saylors Inactive versus Miami
Sun, Nov 8, 2026, 11:20 AM
Saylors (neck) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Dolphins.
Analysis: Saylors carried a questionable designation heading into this contest, though he won't be on the field in Week 9, marking his first absence of the 2026 campaign. With Sione Vaki (ankle) available, Saylors likely wouldn't have been very involved, regardless. |
|
Sione Vaki Sione Vaki Active for Week 9
Sun, Nov 8, 2026, 11:14 AM
Vaki (ankle) is available for Sunday's game against Miami.
Analysis: Vaki didn't practice Friday, resulting in a questionable tag for Week 9. However, he will be out there against the Dolphins and may continue to be more involved after totaling 11 carries in the Week 8 win over the Vikings. |
|
Amon-Ra St. Brown Amon-Ra St. Brown Active for Sunday's game
Sun, Nov 8, 2026, 10:39 AM
St. Brown (ribs) is active for Sunday's game in Miami.
Analysis: St. Brown tended to a rib injury during Week 9 prep that limited him in all three sessions and left him questionable ahead of the weekend. Having said that, Tom Pelissero of Netflix reported Sunday morning that St. Brown was expected to play, which now has been confirmed. St. Brown will be taking on a Dolphins defense that has allowed an NFL-worst 9.8 yards per target to opposing wide receivers this season. |

Amon-Ra St. Brown Amon-Ra St. Brown In line to play Sunday
Sun, Nov 8, 2026, 5:08 AM
St. Brown (ribs) is slated to play in Sunday's game at Miami, Tom Pelissero of Netflix reports.
Analysis: St. Brown was forced from last Sunday's win against the Vikings for a spell due to an undisclosed injury, but he was able to return and finished with seven catches (on eight targets) for 46 yards and a 10-yard carry. He then was limited at Wednesday's walkthrough due to a rib issue and followed it up with back-to-back capped sessions before being tagged as questionable for Week 9 action. Ultimately, St. Brown's status will be confirmed about 90 minutes before Sunday's 1:00 p.m. ET kickoff. |
Jabari Small Jabari Small Elevated from practice squad
Sat, Nov 7, 2026, 5:55 PM
The Lions elevated Small from the practice squad to the active roster Saturday ahead of Sunday's matchup versus the Dolphins.
Analysis: Small signed with the team's practice squad in September and is now set to be elevated for the first time this season. With Sione Vaki (ankle) and Jacob Saylors (neck) both dealing with injuries, Small could be in line to serve as Detroit's No. 2 running back behind Jahmyr Gibbs against Miami. |
|
Placed on IR
Sat, Nov 7, 2026, 4:18 PM
The Lions moved Campbell (neck) to injured reserve Saturday.
Analysis: Campbell suffered a neck injury while making a tackle in the third quarter of last Sunday's win over Minnesota and remains in the hospital. Detroit head coach Dan Campbell shared Friday that the linebacker continues to improve, but his placement on IR means he'll miss at least the team's next four games. K.J. Britt, who Detroit signed off New England's practice squad Wednesday, may be asked to immediately step into a starting role. |

Won't play Sunday
Fri, Nov 6, 2026, 9:55 PM
Mays (ankle) has been ruled out ahead of Sunday's game against the Dolphins.
Analysis: Mays sustained a low-ankle sprain in the Lions' Week 8 win over the Vikings. The center was unable to participate in Week 9 prep while dealing with the issue and will not be able to suit up for Sunday's game. Juice Scruggs is set to start at center while Mays is sidelined. |

Ruled out with concussion
Fri, Nov 6, 2026, 8:18 PM
Wonnum (concussion) has been ruled out ahead of Sunday's game against the Dolphins.
Analysis: Wonnum was unable to clear the NFL's five-step concussion protocol ahead of Sunday's contest. The defensive end did not practice at all during Week 9 prep and remains sidelined with the head injury. |
|
Won't play Sunday
Fri, Nov 6, 2026, 8:12 PM
Reed (hip) has been ruled out ahead of Sunday's game against the Dolphins.
Analysis: Reed suffered a hip injury in the fourth quarter of the Lions' Week 8 win over the Vikings. The cornerback was unable to practice during Week 9 prep and will not suit up for Sunday's contest. Rock Ya-Sin is set to start opposite rookie Ennis Rakestraw against the Dolphins. |
