Lions LB Jalen Reeves-Maybin (shoulder) and DL Michael Brockers (neck) are active for today's game against the Packers. Each guy entered the day questionable.

Lions LB Jalen Reeves-Maybin (shoulder) and DL Michael Brockers (knee) are active for today's game against the Falcons.

Lions LB Alex Anzalone (ankle) is active for today's game against the Cardinals. DE Michael Brockers (knee) and LB Jalen Reeves-Maybin (shoulder) are also active. The presence of Anzalone and Reeves-Maybin likely keeps LB Josh Woods from being IDP relevant after 2 straight weeks of nice tackle production. This is a defense to avoid if possible in IDP lineups.

Lions DL Michael Brockers (knee) is active for today's game against the Bears. He's merely a low-end IDP option, though.

The Lions have ruled EDGE Trey Flowers (knee) and CB A.J. Parker (ankle) out for Thursday's game against the Bears. DL Michael Brockers (knee) is questionable after being limited in practice the past 2 days.

Lions EDGE Romeo Okwara (shoulder) and DL Michael Brockers (shoulder) are active for today's game against the Bears.

The Lions have ruled EDGE Trey Flowers out for the 2nd game in a row. He's dealing with shoulder and knee injuries. Fellow EDGE Romeo Okwara (shouler) and DL Michael Brockers (shoulder) are questionable for Sunday's trip to Chicago. Each played through questionable tags last week, though. So we'd expect them to play.

Lions DE Trey Flowers (shoulder) is inactive for today's game against the Ravens. DE Romeo Okwara (shoulder) is active. DT Michael Brockers (shoulder) is also active.

Lions EDGE Trey Flowers (shoulder, knee), DL Michael Brockers (shoulder) and EDGE Romeo Okwara (shoulder) are all questionable for Sunday's game against the Ravens. Flowers missed practice all week and probably shouldn't be in IDP lineups even if he plays. Okwara and Brockers each put in limited practices all week. We'll update the status on all 3 Sunday morning. Detroit has already ruled out LB Jamie Collins after confirming that they're trying to trade the veteran. That should clear the way for rookie LB Derrick Barnes to get his 1st start, though we'd like to see the size of his role before considering him for IDP lineups.

Lions DE Trey Flowers is questionable for Monday night's game against the Packers. He's dealing with a shoulder issue that limited him in practice all week. We'll update his status Monday evening, but Flowers isn't worth waiting for unless you need to. Lions DL Michael Brockers (shoulder) is also questionable for the game.
