With both teams done for the week, it looks like the Lions will be very short handed on the OL (Pray for Goff) and have a few other starters out. The Bears had some late-week illnesses that are impacting availability, but they look like they will be very healthy for the Week 18 game. Bears Friday: Starting OG Jonah Jackson is over his illness without an injury designation for Sunday, but starting S Jaquan Brisker appears to have caught the same thing and is questionable. H

The last week of the season is here (mercifully) and the Lions are still a beat-up team, with many key contributors facing injury issues that should beg the question...sit or start? The Bears are looking clean at this point, continuing their smoke and mirrors season with Lady Luck driving much of their success instead of just being...good. Bears Wednesday: The Bears had quite a few players listed as NP, it only one starter in WR Odunze among the bunch. It's mainly the dept

The second practice of the short week saw both teams conducting walk-throughs again, but the estimated players report showed promise across the board. Steelers Tuesday: Practice day two was another walk-through and only one player saw their status change, starting T O’Neil went from NP to LP, so he appears to be trending as in. Everyone else did not see any changes to their practice status. Monday: Vikings went through a walk-through and listed several key contributors as

New week, more injuries for the Lions and a lot of guys getting some rest.  The Rams look to be about as healthy as the Cowboys were last week, so maybe that is a good thing.    Rams   Wednesday:    The Rams held a walkthrough, so participation was estimated, but only four players were on the list.  One of those, WR Tutu Atwell, is in the progress of coming off a reserve list, and McVay said he will be activated before the Lions game on Sunday.  The other three players are st

The final injury report is now live, and the Cowboys will be down two starters while the Lions will be without a couple but have significant more that are questionable.

The Cowboys, meanwhile, continue to be healthy and got even healthier with FOUR players upgraded to Full Practice. Cowboys Thursday: Cowboys had three starters upgraded to FP Tuesday, while the rest o

Both the Lions and Cowboys are on a normal, but short week with each having played on Thanksgiving and facing each other again this Thursday night. As a result, both teams had a normal practice schedule bumped up a couple days, with Monday being 1st practice of the week. Each team is a bit banged up with lots of starters showing up on the list, but many of them should play this week. Cowboys Wednesday: The Cowboys appear healthy, with four guys listed as FP in addition to

The Thursday report brings quite a few improvements for both teams, but another DB added to the injury concerns for the Giants. Giants Thursday: The Giants also saw some improvements, notably starters Slayton, Payton and Flannigan-Fowles were back to Limited instead of DNPs. All other players stayed the same, apart from Nickle CB Nic Jones, who was added as an LP with a hamstring injury. Wednesday: The Giants have some serious issues in their CB room, as four of their CBs i

Woof. One of the biggest games of the year, and the Lions will be down several starters, with several more nicked up, specifically in the defensive backfield. Of course, Philly is fully healthy, so guess we will need to see the Legion of Whom come back out again and hope that Dan Campbells offensive playcalling will simply outscore the Eagles. Eagles Friday: The Eagles are about as healthy as they have been all year, with their OL and Defense back to 100% with everyone at

The Lions saw quite a few guys improve their health, but one downgrade could be a bad omen. The Eagles remain very healthy coming off their first practice (walkthrough yesterday), but tomorrow is the key day for both teams. Eagles Thursday: As expected, the eagles are in pretty good shape physically, as everyone but Starting OL Cam Jurgens was a FP today. Wednesday: The Eagles had a walkthrough after their MNF win at Green Bay, and everyone was listed as either LP or FP. O

The last practice of the week is in the books and we now know who is in and who is out for the Lions and Commanders game Sunday. As expected, most of the players coming off reserve lists (Rodrigo, Frazier, Thomas or Paschal) are likely to play, although Rodriguez and Thomas do have Questionable designation, so there is a chance. Commanders Friday: It appears that the Commanders were sandbagging their injury situation a bit, as their entire injured list except for Daniels an

The second practice of the week is complete, and now we now that a large chunk of the guys that made up the initial Wednesday list were just getting some time off to recover from their injuries along with a bunch of guys that are just getting back onto the field after coming off a reserve list.

The Lions had one downgrade, but he is expected to play and one key player that everyone should be happy to have back.

Teh Lions came out of the bye week looking fairly healthy with some of the IR guys now practicing and hitting the Injury Report. The Vikings are also getting healthier but have a few concerns at certain spots and a lot of starters that are banged up. Buccaneers Wednesday: The Vikings have been hit hard by injuries over the last month or so, but they also saw some relief with a bunch of guys back to practice that have been hurt. The DNPs were CJ Ham and backups Jeff Okudah

Final injury report dropped, and the Lions will be without key starters Arnold and Joseph and there is question on whether Reader, Decker, and McNeil will play. It’s assumed all three will be in, but until elevations are made today, we won’t know the general direction of the trending. The Bucs appear to be playing games with Egbuka on their report and in public comments, claiming he is Questionable after having him out for stretching only on Saturday. Others of note, David

There was some movement for both teams on a couple of key players on Friday, good for the Lions and potentially bad for the Bucs.  Otherwise, a lot of status quo. Buccaneers Friday:  The Bucs saw star WR Mike Evans, who was a Limited Participant on Thursday, regress to a Non-Participant on Friday.  This may have been planned as part of his process working back form the Hamstring, but we will know for sure his direction when the game designations come out later today.  The onl
