Week 2: Lions – Bears Wednesday Injury Report

The first official injury report has been released by the Lions and Bears and there are a few names that popped up unexpectedly and a couple of surprise full participants. Usually this would have been out earlier in the day, but the Bears were ~3 hours late in posting their list.

Changes from prior day are in Bolded red or green

Bears

Wednesday: The Bears have eight players on the initial injury list, with four of them being starters. DL Grady Jarrett (NP), LB TJ Edwards (LP), WR DJ Moore (FP) and DB Jaylon Johnson (FP) are the starters listed, although it appears only Jackson and Edwards may miss the Lions game.  The other five players are all backups, although the Bears DB depth may be tested due to a total of three DBs appearing today.

Lions

Wednesday: The Lions injury list includes two unexpected names in Taylor Decker and Jack Campbell.  Both players finished the game against the Packers but missed practice today due to a Shoulder and Ankle injuries respectively. Tomorrow will give indication if this is serious, or just an extra day of rest for a couple of veterans. The good surprises were that Terrion Arnold (Groin) and Daniel Thomas (Hand), who both left the Packers game and did not return, were listed as full participants. Carryovers form last week, Trevor Nowaske (LP) and Sionne Vaki (LP) both improved form last report, while Kayode Awosika and Isaac TeSlaa were not listed this week.
