Lions QB Jared Goff had another efficient and explosive day against the weak pass defense of the Jacksonville Jaguars. He completed 24 of 29 passes for 412 yards and four TDs with the Lions scoring 52 against the Jaguars
Lions TE Sam LaPorta is "truly questionable" for next week's game vs. the Colts, according to NFL Network's Tom Pelissero. LaPorta's shoulder injury reportedly isn't serious, but it sounds like it might end up costing him a couple of games. TEs Brock Wright and Shane Zylstra are expected to pick up LaPorta's snaps vs. the Jaguars today.
Lions TE Sam LaPorta (shoulder) missed practice all week and is out for Sunday’s game vs. the Jaguars. His injury reportedly isn’t serious, so we’ll see if he can make it back for Week 12. Brock Wright and Shane Zylstra will handle TE duties for Detroit this weekend. Neither is a reliable fantasy play.
Lions TE Sam LaPorta (shoulder) did not practice on Wednesday. HC Dan Campbell said earlier this week that LaPorta's injury isn't serious, but that he could miss this weekend's game vs. the Jaguars. Detroit would probably be just fine without LaPorta in that one. We're tentatively projecting him to miss Week 11 but will keep you updated on his status.
Lions TE Sam LaPorta was knocked out of Sunday night's game vs. the Texans with a shoulder injury. HC Dan Campbell said afterward that LaPorta is believed to be dealing with an AC joint sprain but will undergo more testing on Monday. "It’s not something like he’s gonna be out four weeks. It’s like, maybe he’ll miss this week, we’ll see," Campbell added. We should get another update on LaPorta's status within the next 24 hours.
Lions WR Jameson Williams ranked second on the team in pass routes, third in targets, and tied for second in receptions in Sunday's win over the Texans. He tallied 3 receptions for 53 yards on 5 targets.
Lions QB Jared Goff had a rough Sunday night against the Texans. He went just 7-of-17 passing for 91 yards in the first half, with 1 TD and 3 INTs -- though the third of those came on a half-ending hail mary. Goff tossed another 2 INTs in the second half. But he also completed eight of 13 throws for 149 yards and another TD in piloting the comeback victory.
The Lions are listing Edge Za'Darius Smith as questionable for Sunday night's game against the Texans. The team reportedly gave Smith two days off after his trade from Cleveland this week. He was listed as a full practice participant Friday but is understandably still learning the defense.
The Browns are trading Edge Za'Darius Smith to the Lions for a 2025 fifth-round pick and a late-round pick swap in 2026. Smith has 5 sacks and 7 QB hits through nine games. He joins a Detroit defense that has tallied 5 sacks over three games since Edge Aidan Hutchinson went down -- including just 1 total sack over the past two weeks.
Lions RB David Montgomery rushed 17 times for 73 yards in Sunday's win over Green Bay. He was held out of the end zone for only the second time all season.
Lions QB Jared Goff (ankle) is not listed on the final Week 9 injury report. He was sidelined on Wednesday but put in full practices on Thursday and Friday. We’re not expecting the ankle to be a factor in this weekend’s game vs. the Packers.
Lions QB Jared Goff (ankle) returned to a full practice on Thursday. He's on track to start this weekend's game vs. the Lions, and we're not expecting the ankle to be a factor.
Lions QB Jared Goff (ankle) did not practice on Wednesday. He told Tim Twentyman of the team's official website that he'll be fine and expects to practice on Thursday. We're not adjusting our projections for Goff and the Lions offense right now. We'll see if he gets back on the field tomorrow.

The league has suspended Lions WR Jameson Williams two games for violating the performance-enhancing substances policy, according to ESPN's Eric Woodyard.
Lions QB Jared Goff threw for 280 yards and two TDs in the Week 7 win over the Vikings. TE Sam LaPorta accounted for just 25 of those yards. He caught one pass on two targets. Four Lions saw more targets and five caught more passes. And this was against a defense that entered the week ranked 29th in adjusted fantasy points allowed to TEs.
Lions QB Jared Goff was nearly perfect in the Week 7 win over the Vikings, completing 22 of 25 passes (88%) for 280 yards (11.2 YPA), two TDs, and 0 INTs. That included clutch passes for RB Jahmyr Gibbs for 16 yards and WR Amon-Ra St. Brown for 14 yards on a game-winning FG drive. The performance was more impressive when you consider that Minnesota entered this one ranked first in pass defense DVOA and eighth in adjusted fantasy points allowed to QBs. Goff is just the second QB this season to throw more TDs than INTs against the Vikings.
Lions RB David Montgomery is questionable to return to Sunday's game vs. Vikings with a knee injury. We'll update his status when we know more. Montgomery's absence should mean big volume for RB Jahmyr Gibbs.
Update: Montgomery returned in the second quarter.
The Lions announced Monday that Edge Aidan Hutchinson had successful surgery on his fractured left tibia and fibula Sunday night in Texas. He's traveling back to Detroit this week with no timeline yet determined for his return to the field. Hutchinson will miss the rest of this season, though. Detroit will need to figure out its edge spots the way. The other season-opening starter, Marcus Davenport, previously landed on season-ending IR. Don't be surprised if the Lions trade for help at the position.
