Lions, Bears injury report: Taylor Decker misses 2nd practice, team hopeful

The Detroit Lions and Chicago Bears were back on the practice field on Thursday, as they each look to get a tally in the win column this Sunday at Ford Field. The Lions had two starters sit out Wednesday’s practice, and while Jack Campbell was able to return on Thursday, Taylor Decker missed his second practice in a row.

Let’s take a look at Thursday’s initial injury report and get you up to date with what we know. Note: Any changes from the previous injury report will be bolded.

No practice on Thursday​

• LT Taylor Decker (shoulder)

While Decker has missed the previous two practices, he and the team appear hopeful about his availability for Sunday.

After Wednesday’s practice, Decker spoke with the media and said that he “just got some stuff that I’m dealing with, hopefully be out there on Sunday.” On Thursday, Lions offensive coordinator John Morton was asked about Decker at his morning press conference, to which he stated, “We’re totally expecting Decker to play.”

With Jamarco Jones landing on season-ending injured reserve and practice squader Dan Skipper missing practices with tendonitis in his right knee (per Detroit Football Network’s Justin Rogers), the Lions have been using Giovanni Manu at left tackle in practices.

When Morton was asked if Decker was unable to play on Sunday, if the team would turn to Manu to start at left tackle, Morton said, “I would think so. You’d have to ask (coach) Dan (Campbell) that.” Reserve interior offensive lineman Kayode Awosika, who also has experience playing tackle, has also been identified as a possible replacement option by offensive line coach Hank Fraley.

Campbell is scheduled to hold a press conference on Friday morning before the Lions’ final practice of the week.

Limited practice​

• RB Sione Vaki (hamstring)
• LB Trevor Nowaske (elbow)

Vaki has been dealing with a hamstring injury for the majority of camp, and while he’s not in the clear just yet, getting two practices in a row is certainly a step in the right direction. Once Vaki is able to contribute in games, he’s expected to make an immediate impact on special teams.

“He’s just a tremendous talent. He’s super quick, he’s explosive, he’s powerful, he’s really like a lot of those safety, running back body types,” Lions special teams coordinator Dave Fipp said on Thursday. “That’s what you want. You want a guy who’s 200-plus pounds, who’s very strong, very quick, very physical, athletic, so he can change direction. So he ends up being a very positive player both in coverage and return game. So, they have a versatile skillset, so that’s him. Obviously, him returning the ball, he’s got the running back background. And for him, he’s unique because he’s also got that defensive background, so it helps him in coverage. He played great for us a year ago, so yeah, we’re obviously excited to get him back as soon as we can.”

Nowaske missed all of last week with an elbow injury and has now stacked two days of practice. If available on Sunday, he’ll give the Lions depth at linebacker and starting capabilities on multiple phases of special teams.

Full Practice​

• LB Jack Campbell (ankle) — Upgraded from no practice
• CB Terrion Arnold (groin)
• S Daniel Thomas (hand)

Campbell was able to return to the practice field on Thursday after missing Wednesday’s practice with an ankle injury. While the Lions are deep at linebacker, Campbell is an important player on this roster, and keeping him healthy and at the MIKE is a significant factor in the success of the Lions’ defense.

Arnold and Thomas were both injured in Week 1 but have been practicing in full this week. The Lions appear to be taking it a bit easy with them, but they’re on track to play on Sunday.

Bears’ injury report​

No changes from Wednesday’s estimated participation report from the Bears.

Note: Starters are bolded.

Did not practice

• DT Grady Jarrett (knee)
• NB Kyler Gordon (hamstring)

Limited practice

• RB Roschon Johnson (foot)
• WR Jahdae Walker (ankle)
• LB T.J. Edwards (hamstring)
• DB Josh Blackwell (groin)

Full practice

• WR DJ Moore (abdomen/groin)
• CB Jaylon Johnson (calf/groin)

Does the Packers, Commanders game change your opinion of the Lions offense?

After they handled their business in Week 1 against the Detroit Lions, the Green Bay Packers hosted the Washington Commanders on “Thursday Night Football.” In front of another rowdy crowd in Lambeau Field, the Packers thoroughly beat up on Washington. Similarly to their game against Detroit, they almost completely suffocated anything Washington attempted to get going offensively. Unfortunately, this Packers defense looks like it could be one of the best units in all of football once the 2025 season is over with.

Up front, the addition of All-Pro edge defender Micah Parsons cannot be overstated. Packers defensive coordinator Jeff Hafley is already moving Parsons around the line depending on the down and distance. And on pass rushing downs, Parsons affords Green Bay the luxury of being able to rush only four or five, allowing more players to cover ground in the secondary. It seems like a simple concept, but it’s typically one all of the great defenses of the past have in common.

So after watching Green Bay dismantle another NFC contender that was also a playoff team in 2024, does that change your opinion of what happened with the Lions’ offense in Week 1?

My answer: Only slightly. I am of the belief that a lot of what we see early in the season are lies. With that said, it does look like the Packers defense is the real deal, even though I am still unsure about aspects of their secondary if the pass rush ever has an off day. Seeing them shut down a quarterback and offensive scheme like Jayden Daniels was impressive, and after how they slowed down the Lions a week ago, the rest of the league should be well aware of how they are playing defensively.

What about you? Did the result of the Commanders and Packers game change how you viewed the Lions’ performance in Week 1? Let us know in the comments below.

Lions vs. Bears: Two key matchups in Ford Field home opener

The current Detroit Lions regime has a history of slow starts — but Week 1’s meltdown in Green Bay was uncharacteristically treacherous. The good news for Detroit is that it also has a history of roaring back. The Lions have won 10 straight games following a loss dating back to October 2022.

That’s why Lions fans have been pointing to a handful of “no-show” games (2022 Panthers, 2023 Ravens, 2023 Packers, 2023 Bears) when comparing last week’s defeat at Lambeau. Few teams are lucky enough to have so few of those over two and a half seasons. This is still a resilient bunch built on competition, physicality, and winning football. The staff has earned the benefit of the doubt to clean up shortcomings and look more like the team fans have come to expect.

Dan Campbell sounded exactly like that leader on Tuesday:

“What fuels my tank is losing. That fuels me because I don’t like losing, our players don’t like it, and you go back to work, man. And you get back to the basics of what you do, man, and you hit it head-on. Nowhere to run, nowhere to hide, we’re all accountable. And if we want to win, we have to do the little things right and prepare that way. And then we have to play that way, so that’s what gets me going.”

Campbell will have them ready for a divisional rival led by former Lions offensive coordinator turned Bears head coach, Ben Johnson, returning to Detroit and looking for its first road win. Let’s dive into two key matchups.

Note: Unless otherwise indicated, all statistics are sourced from NFL Pro, TruMedia, FTN Fantasy, or Pro Football Reference.

Corralling Caleb Williams​

The biggest takeaway from Chicago’s Monday night win over Minnesota wasn’t Ben Johnson’s play design — that will take time — but it was Caleb Williams’ natural gifts in off-script improvisation. His secondary reaction plays were where the Bears’ offense lived. That’s a problem area for Detroit’s front seven, which struggled to finish pressures late last season and again in Week 1.

Williams set career highs with six scrambles, 58 rushing yards, and a rushing touchdown. He hit the two fastest top speeds of any quarterback in Week 1 (20.45 mph and 20.29 mph — both top-11 among all ball carriers). He was also essentially Chicago’s run game; the Bears finished dead last with a 19.0% rushing success rate.

When plays extended beyond three seconds to throw, Williams ranked:
• 6th in offensive success rate (55.6%)
• 11th in EPA/dropback (0.36)
• T-5th in first downs (5 on 14 attempts)

But on in-rhythm throws under three seconds, he plunged to 28th (36.4% success rate). His best quarterbacking came outside the structure of the play call.

Detroit must not only pressure him but actually finish. Despite blitzing at the league’s third-highest rate (34.8% of dropbacks), the Lions pressured Jordan Love on just 26.1% of his dropbacks (27th), totaling six pressures, no sacks, and only two hits.

The good news: Chicago’s offensive line gave up the second-most pressures (20) and the second-highest pressure rate (46.5%) of any team in Week 1. Braxton Jones (6), Jonah Jackson (5), Joe Thuney (4), and Drew Dalman (4) all surrendered four-plus pressures. Only eight interior linemen league-wide allowed four-plus — the Bears had three of them.

This is a prime chance for D.J. Reader, Tyleik Williams, and Detroit’s blitzing back seven to make an impact, and for Aidan Hutchinson to bounce back to his dominant self. While Detroit’s offense works through its own personnel changes, a statement game from the defense would go a long way.

Return of the Run​

For Detroit’s offense to reset, it needs to win at the point of attack. Jahmyr Gibbs and David Montgomery combined for 20 carries, 46 yards, only two first downs, and a 22.7% rushing success rate (third-worst in Week 1).

Campbell and offensive coordinator John Morton emphasized confidence this week in refining communication and execution, aiming to rediscover their identity from last year, when their success rate was nearly double (44.6%). The retooled interior line of Christian Mahogany, Graham Glasgow, and Tate Ratledge now has a game together to build on — and the Bears’ run defense might be just the tonic.

Chicago, under new defensive coordinator Dennis Allen, allowed Minnesota:

• 4.6 yards per rush (T-21st)
• 61.5% rushing success rate (19th)
• 3.27 yards after contact per carry

Last year, they were bottom-12 in all three metrics, including third-worst at 4.8 yards per carry. In Week 1, Aaron Jones (3.00 yards after contact) and Jordan Mason (3.73) both ranked top-10 in yards after contact per carry while running through Bears defenders.

If the Lions’ “Sonic & Knuckles” backfield can produce a similar effort, it will give Jared Goff manageable downs and distances — and let Detroit’s offense get back on track.

Detroit Lions’ roster elevations a good sign for Taylor Decker

The Detroit Lions may have tipped their hand when it comes to the injury status of left tackle Taylor Decker. The team announced on Saturday afternoon that they are only elevating newly-signed linebacker Monty Rice from the practice squad. That’s notable because the Lions did not add any offensive linemen from the practice squad, when they could have elevated Devin Cochran, Michael Niese, or Dan Skipper (currently injured).

That leaves the Lions with just eight offensive linemen currently eligible to be active on gameday:

• LT Taylor Decker
• LG Christian Mahogany
• C Graham Glasgow
• RG Tate Ratledge
• RT Penei Sewell
• iOL Kingsley Eguakun
• iOl Kayode Awosika
• OT Giovanni Manu

If Decker were to be inactive, that would leave Manu to start at left tackle, and no backups behind him—although Awosika is noted to be Detroit’s emergency offensive tackle. Even so, if Decker were inactive, that would leave only seven active offensive linemen in total. That’s significant because there is a gameday roster rule that if a team has eight offensive linemen active on their roster, they are allowed to have 48 active players on game day instead of the normal 47. The Lions almost always utilize this rule, so it would be a pretty big surprise to see Detroit go into Sunday’s game against the Chicago Bears with only seven active offensive linemen.

On Friday, coach Dan Campbell said Decker had a chance to play despite not practicing all week with a shoulder injury.

“Decker’s played a lot of football. And so, he’ll be ready as long as it feels right,” Campbell said. “But yeah, we feel good right now. And there again, we still have another day here, and we’ll see. So, I can’t give you a definitive yes (he’ll play), but that’s where it’s at.”

We won’t know for sure if Decker will be active until 11:30 a.m. ET on Sunday, when the Lions will declare their Week 2 inactives.

Detroit Lions Week 2 snap counts: Shake up on the interior DL

The Detroit Lions dismantled the Chicago Bears in Week 2, 52-12, leveling their season record to 1-1. Let’s take a closer look at the Lions’ snap counts to see what we can divulge from their personnel usage that may have led to this rapid return to success.

Quarterbacks:​

• Jared Goff: 56 snaps (95%)
• Kyle Allen: 3 (5%)

Goff was masterful in his Ford Field debut this season, completing 23 of 28 passing attempts for 334 yards, five touchdowns, and a near-perfect passer rating (156.0). With the game in hand, the Lions turned to their backups for the final offensive series, with Allen running three clock-draining snaps.

Running backs:​

• Jahmyr Gibbs: 33 (56%)
• David Montgomery: 23 (39%)
• Craig Reynolds: 3 (5%) — 19 special teams snaps (59%)
• Jacob Saylors: 0 (0%) — 19 (59%)
• Sione Vaki: Inactive (injury)

The running back splits continue to favor Gibbs, but not as drastically as they did in Week 1. Some of that is likely due to game situations, but there is also a ‘Montgomery getting opportunities against his old team’ factor to consider. Reynolds ran the ball on all three of his offensive snaps as the Lions worked to get to the end of the game.

Saylors didn’t see any snaps on offense, and he didn’t have a return on kickoffs, but he did make one of the best special teams plays of the day, helping to make sure the Bears’ opening kickoff went out of bounds and thus giving the Lions offense great starting field position. Five plays later, the Lions were up 7-0.

Wide receivers:​

• Jameson Williams: 52 (88%)
• Amon-Ra St. Brown: 50 (85%) — 1 (3%)
• Kalif Raymond: 32 (54%) — 5 (16%)
• Isaac TeSlaa: 17 (29%) — 8 (25%)
• Dominic Lovett: 3 (5%)

With TeSlaa full go—after being limited in Week 1 due to an illness—his snaps increased from three to 17, and as expected, they came from Raymond’s pool of snaps. TeSlaa was heavily used as a blocker, but he also made his second catch of the season, another one-handed masterpiece that set up Amon-Ra St. Brown’s first of three touchdowns on the day. Both St. Brown and Williams went over 100 yards receiving, and each had at least one touchdown.

Tight ends:​

• Sam LaPorta: 50 (85%) — 1 (3%)
• Brock Wright: 31 (53%) — 16 (50%)
• Shane Zylstra: 0 (0%) — 3 (9%)

LaPorta and Wright each caught three passes for 26 and 28 yards, respectively, but their splits were as expected. Zylstra was injured early in the game on special teams, was carted to the field, and was spotted in the locker room in a walking boot. Hopefully, we’ll get an update on his status on Monday.

Offensive line:​

• Christian Mahogany: 59 (100%) — 9 (28%)
• Tate Ratledge: 59 (100%) — 9 (28%)
• Penei Sewell: 56 (95%) — 9 (28%)
• Taylor Decker: 56 (95%)
• Graham Glasgow: 56 (95%)
• Kayode Awosika: 4 (7%) — 9 (28%)
• Giovanni Manu: 3 (5%) — 9 (28%)
• Kingsley Eguakun: 3 (5%) — 9 (28%)

The Lions’ offensive line returned to form against the Bears, with their starting five looking confident and determined. On the ground, they helped their running backs gain an average of 3.55 yards before contact (best in the NFL in Week 2), and they didn’t allow a sack in the passing game.

When it was time to pull the starters—because they only had eight offensive linemen dressed for the game—two starters needed to play with the reserves, and the two young guards pulled extra duty. Of note, Manu played his first offensive snaps of his NFL career, all coming at left tackle, while Eguakun manned the pivot, and Awosika took over at right tackle.

Defensive end:​

• Aidan Hutchinson: 57 (84%)
• Al-Quadin Muhammad: 36 (53%) — 9 (28%)
• Marcus Davenport: 23 (34%) — 3 (9%)
• Pat O’Connor: 21 (31%) — 24 (75%)
• Tyrus Wheat: Inactive

Hutchinson, Davenport, and O’Connor saw all their snaps on the edge for the second week in a row, with the starters seeing traditional defensive end reps, and O’Connor at the 4i. With Hutchinson appearing to be working through some discomfort, and Davenport exiting the field with two separate injuries, Muhammad was called upon to fill in the gaps on the edge. With Muhammed needing to rep more on the outside, he only saw two snaps inside this week.

Defensive tackle:​

• Mekhi Wingo: 37 (54%)
• Roy Lopez: 31 (46%) — 3 (9%)
• Tyleik Williams: 25 (37%) — 2 (6%)
• DJ Reader: 24 (35%)
• Tyler Lacy: Inactive
• Chris Smith: Inactive

The interior defensive line saw a complete flip in opportunities from Week 1 to Week 2. After leading the interior in snaps in Week 1, Reader’s snaps were scaled back significantly (less than half the previous week’s percentage), and he checked it at a reasonable pace in order to maximize his effectiveness. Williams saw his snaps decline from 35 to 24, but it certainly wasn’t because of his lack of production. Williams made the most of his opportunities and was arguably the key component in both the Lions’ fourth down stops—submarining the Caleb Williams quarterback sneak attempt and knocking down a Williams passing attempt. Lopez saw his snaps increase from 17 to 31 as he allowed Reader to get some snaps off, while Wingo went from inactive in Week 1 to leading the interior defensive line in opportunities in Week 2. Wingo brings passing juice to the Lions’ interior, something that has been missing while Alim McNeill is recovering from an ACL tear. While Wingo isn’t going to break into the starting lineup, expect him to see chunks of snaps moving forward.

Linebacker:​

• Jack Campbell: 60 (88%) — 4 (12%)
• Alex Anzalone: 60 (88%) — 1 (3%)
• Derrick Barnes: 53 (78%) — 16 (50%)
• Zach Cunningham: 9 (13%) — 19 (59%)
• Grant Stuard: 6 (9%) — 23 (72%)
• Monty Rice: 0 (0%) — 19 (59%)
• Trevor Nowaske: Inactive (injury)

The Lions continue to use three linebackers at a blistering pace, well ahead of the league average. Campbell and Anzalone are their base off-ball linebackers, while Barnes is the versatile chess piece that defensive coordinator Kelvin Sheppard uses in a multitude of ways. Cunningham and Stuard got reps late in the game once the starters were pulled.

Cornerback:​

• Terrion Arnold: 60 (88%) — 1 (3%)
• D.J. Reed: 60 (88%)
• Amik Robertson: 34 (50%)
• Khalil Dorsey: 8 (12%) — 16 (50%)
• Rock Ya-Sin: 8 (12%) — 11 (34%)

After not using much nickel against the Packers in Week 1, the Lions turned to Robertson to give them a lot more snaps in Week 2, with the Lions spending half their defensive snaps with five defensive backs on the field. Dorsey and Ya-Sin got reps on the outside after the starters were pulled.

Safety:​

• Brian Branch: 59 (87%) — 4 (12%)
• Kerby Joseph: 48 (71%) — 2 (6%)
• Avonte Maddox: 20 (29%) — 8 (25%)
• Daniel Thomas: 9 (13%) — 18 (56%)
• Thomas Harper: Inactive

After not seeing any reps in week 1, Maddox shifted away from his reserve nickel role and into a reserve safety role, helping take some of the stress off Joseph, who entered the game with a knee injury. Branch missed one expected snap due to cramping and then exited with the starters, making way for Thomas to get his first defensive snaps since arriving in Detroit.

Specialists:​

• Jake Bates: 18 (56%)
• Jack Fox: 12 (38%)
• Hogan Hatten: 12 (38%)

Bates missed a 55-yard field goal and placed a kickoff short of the landing zone, but beyond that, the Lions’ special teams looked improved from last week.

NFL Week 2 recap: Was that the real Detroit Lions?

This early in the season, it’s always hard to find where a team’s true identity lies. And in the case of the 2025 Detroit Lions, you have two polar opposite performances to deal with. Just look at the difference in yards per play in each game, and it’s like you’re talking about two completely different teams.

Week 1:

• Lions: 3.8
• Packers: 5.7

Week 2:

• Lions: 8.8
• Bears: 5.3

Now the question becomes: Who are the Detroit Lions? Is the offense all the way back to 2024 levels after hanging 52 points on a Chicago Bears team that is still figuring out their own identity? Or are there still some lingering issues on offense that may have been masked by a bad Bears teams?

On defense, there was a lot to like, and some things that still need to be cleaned up. So where does this leave the Lions as they head into a Week 3 clash with the 1-1 Baltimore Ravens.

On this week’s PODcast, we discuss everything about the Lions’ massive win over the Bears, and what it means for the rest of the 2025 season.

Other topics discussed on this week’s show:

• What’s the concern level for Terrion Arnold’s slow start?
• Is it time to end the Grant Stuard experiment at kick returner?
• Is Amon-Ra St. Brown a top-three receiver? Is the Jared Goff/St. Brown connection the best duo in the NFL?
• Marcus Davenport injured AGAIN?!? Discussing about our concern level for Detroit’s EDGE depth.
• How about Tyleik Williams, though?

You can enjoy the show on whatever your favorite podcasting platform is by searching “Pride of Detroit,” or you can just listed in the Spotify embed below.

You can also watch an extended edition of the PODcast by heading to either our YouTube or Twitch pages, where there is an extra hour of between-segments chatter.

Detroit Lions place Shane Zylstra on IR, elevate 1 player, sign 2

The Detroit Lions made a flurry of roster moves on Tuesday afternoon, including changes to both their active 53-man roster and their practice squad. Here’s a full list of the moves:

• Signed OL Trystan Colon from the practice squad to the 53-man roster
• Placed TE Shane Zylstra on IR
• Cut LB Monty Rice from the practice squad
• Signed QB/WR Malik Cunningham to the practice squad
• Signed TE Ross Dwelley to the practice squad

Let’s start with the most straightforward moves: placing Zylstra on injured reserve and signing Dwelley to the practice squad. Zylstra suffered an ankle injury early in Sunday’s game against the Chicago Bears and did not return. It’s unclear how long Zylstra will be out, but by being placed on injured reserve, he will have to miss at least the next four games before he can even return to practice.

Dwelley joins the team as a seven-year veteran who spent most of his career with the San Francisco 49ers. He’s played in a total of 101 games, including 17 starts. Most of his contributions have come on special teams (1,263 snaps), but he has also logged a lot of time on offense, as well (1,378 snaps). Of those offensive snaps, more than half of them have been spent as a run blocker. If the Lions want a third tight end for Monday’s game against the Ravens, they could call up Dwelley or rookie Zach Horton from the practice squad.

We previously covered the signing of Cunningham, which certainly seems like a move to help the Lions prepare for Lamar Jackson this week.

Dwelley and Cunningham take the practice squad spots of Rice and Colon. Rice was only with the Lions for a single week. He was called up to play against the Bears, participated in 19 snaps, but was called for a personal foul penalty after one play.

Colon is perhaps the most notable of roster moves. He takes Zylstra’s place on the roster, giving the Lions extra depth on the interior offensive line. Colon was in the mix for the backup center job in training camp, competing with Kingsley Eguakun and Michael Niese. Colon suffered an injury late in camp, giving the job to Eguakun, but now both are on the 53-man roster. It’s worth noting that starting guard Christian Mahogany was fighting off an injury on Sunday. However, coach Dan Campbell noted on Monday that he should be fine.

“I think he’ll be okay. Yeah, I think he’ll be alright, we’ll see,” Campbell said. “He’s another one we’re checking out.”

With the Lions playing on Monday this week, their first injury report of the week will be filed on Thursday.

Jared Goff named NFC Offensive POTW in Week 2

After a historic performance in Week 2 of the 2025 NFL season, Detroit Lions quarterback Jared Goff has been named the NFC Offensive Player of the Week. This marks Goff’s fourth time winning this award since joining the Lions in 2021, tying him with Calvin Johnson for the second-most times a Lions player has won this award in team history (Barry Sanders leads the way with 11 NFC POTW awards).

Against the Bears, Goff completed 23 of 28 passes for 334 yards, five touchdowns, and a 156.0 passer rating. Goff is currently near the top of the NFL leader board in several statistics, including producing:

• Six passing touchdowns on the season (T-1st)
• an 80.6% completion percentage (1st)
• +11.9% Completion percentage above expectation (2nd)
• 125.1 passer rating (3rd)
• EPA: +22.4 (4th)
• EPA per drop back +0.31 (4th)
• DYAR: Best performance by a Lions QB since 1978

“I thought Goff played out of his mind, it was awesome,” Lions coach Dan Campbell said on Monday following the win over the Bears. “He was composed, he was on point, and I just thought he commanded the offense to precision, and it was great to see.“

In 2024, Goff won this award in Week 4, following a “perfect game” against the Seahawks, and also took home the NFC Player of the Month award for October.
