Saivion Smith: Lands on injured list
Smith (neck) was placed on the Lions' practice squad injured reserve Wednesday, Nolan Bianchi of The Detroit News reports.
Smith suffered a concussion and had to be taken off in an ambulance after being elevated from the practice squad for Detroit's Week 5 loss to the Patriots. Lions coach Dan Campbell said Wednesday that the 24-year-old cornerback was clear of the league's protocols, but, "there [are] some other things we're looking at," regarding the after-effects of this injury, according to Jeff Risdon of USA Today. As a result of this transaction, Smith will not be eligible for activation on game day for at least the next four games.

Lions' Saivion Smith: Enters concussion protocol
Smith suffered a concussion during Sunday's 29-0 loss to the Patriots, Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reports.
Smith was involved in a scary incident Sunday against New England, where he was taken off in an ambulance after he collapsed on the field. Although the 24-year-old cornerback suffered a concussion in Week 5, it's relieving to find out that further tests revealed no issues with his neck, per Pelissero. Smith logged just two defensive snaps thus far in 2022, but he'll now have extra time to clear concussion protocols with Detroit having a bye in Week 6. The Lions return to action a week from Sunday against the Cowboys.

Cowboys' Saivion Smith: Dealing with fractured hand
Smith returned to the game after suffering a broken hand in Sunday's 31-10 win over the Bengals, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.
Smith made his first career start on defense in Week 14. He briefly went to the locker room in the second half with a hand injury, but he returned to the field and finished the game. The Cowboys believe Smith may be able to play through this injury for the remainder of the season, although he'd likely require some sort of protection on his hand. Smith's practice reps may be limited this week, but considering he's already proven capable of playing through the issue, he should be in the lineup next week against the 49ers.
