Lions Release Injury Update Before Eagles Matchup

The Detroit Lions have updated their injury report ahead of their Week 11 matchup against the Philadelphia Eagles. Notably, four players have been downgraded from questionable to OUT.

Lions Injury Report Changes

Among those affected is linebacker Malcolm Rodriguez, who was anticipated to return for the game. Despite weeks of practice, he was not activated to the 53-man roster as expected, missing the entire season due to a previous injury.

Additionally, cornerback D.J. Reed’s absence will leave the Lions’ secondary significantly undermanned. They are already without multiple starters, raising concerns about their defensive capabilities.

Players Downgraded to OUT

  • LB Malcolm Rodriguez (knee)
  • CB D.J. Reed (hamstring)
  • EDGE Marcus Davenport (shoulder)
  • OL Miles Frazier (knee)

Rookie wide receiver Isaac TeSlaa has also been added to the injury report as questionable due to an oblique injury. The Lions are preparing for his potential absence by temporarily elevating two receivers from their practice squad.

Eagles Injury Updates

Meanwhile, the Philadelphia Eagles have not made any roster changes before the Saturday deadline. Willie Lampkin is ruled questionable, but he will not be activated from injured reserve this week.

Eagles Injury Report Overview

  • G/C Willie Lampkin (knee/ankle)
