Paschal (back) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Eagles.

Paschal was limited in practice all week due to a back injury that he's been recovering from since July. He hasn't progressed enough in his recovery to make his 2025 debut Week 11 and will remain on the reserve/non-football injury list. Paschal's next opportunity to play is Week 12 against the Giants on Sunday, Nov. 23.

Robertson (hamstring) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Eagles.

Robertson popped up on Thursday's practice report as a limited participant due to a hamstring injury. He's been given the questionable tag for Sunday's road game, and if he joins Terrion Arnold (concussion) on the inactive list, then Rock Ya-Sin, Avonte Maddox and Nick Whiteside would be the top candidates to start at outside corner. Robertson has started in each of the Lions' last five games, and over that span he has accumulated 16 tackles (14 solo), two pass defenses (one interception) and one forced fumble.

Lenoir (calf) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Cardinals, Nick Wagoner of ESPN.com reports.

Lenoir was unable to practice Friday after feeling tightness during Thursday's session, and he now awaits MRI results to explore the severity of the injury. The starting cornerback's chance of playing is likely tied to the results of the MRI as well as his mobility. A good result could mean the ability to play in Sunday's divisional matchup, but if the 26-year-old is unable to suit up, Darrell Luter will likely get a start at cornerback.

Reed (hamstring) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Eagles.

Reed has a chance to return from a five-game absence due to a hamstring injury that caused him to land on injured reserve in early October. He was limited in all three practices during Week 11 prep, and he would have to be activated from injured reserve Saturday in order to be available for Sunday's road game. Reed's return would be timely for the Lions, given that Terrion Arnold (concussion) has been ruled out and Amik Robertson (hamstring) is listed as questionable for Week 11.

Jones will return to a backup role due to teammate Brock Purdy (toe) being cleared to start Sunday's game against the Cardinals.

Jones won five of eight starts, completing 69.6 percent of passes for 7.4 YPA, with 13 touchdowns and six interceptions. He didn't offer much on the ground -- 64 yards, no TDs -- and was thus merely adequate for fantasy, but his steady hand helped RB Christian McCaffrey put up points in bunches. Jones is signed through 2026, which means the 49ers may field trade calls this offseason from QB-needy teams.

Stover (foot) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Titans.

Stover upgraded to a full practice participant Friday after logging limited sessions both Wednesday and Thursday, meaning he is trending up for Sunday's game. The tight end was designated to return from injured reserve this week, and with fellow tight end Harrison Bryant (neck/shoulder) unable to practice Friday and ruled out this week, Stover's chances of suiting up for Sunday seem solid.

Davenport (shoulder) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Eagles.

Davenport's 21-day practice window to return from injured reserve opened Wednesday, and he was limited in all three practices during Week 11 prep. He would have to be activated from injured reserve in order to be available to play Sunday.

Saylors (back) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against Philadelphia.

A back injury prevented Saylors from playing against the Commanders in Week 10. He was limited in all three practices during Week 10 prep, which gives him a chance to suit up in Sunday's road game in Philadelphia. The Lions could be thin in the backfield behind Jahmyr Gibbs and David Montgomery, as Sione Vaki is also listed as questionable due to an ankle injury.

Jobe (concussion) has no injury designation ahead of Sunday's game against the Rams, Curtis Crabtree of Fox 13 Seattle reports.

Jobe being cleared of an injury designation indicates that he has passed the league's independent neurological exam for the concussion he suffered in the Seahawks' Week 9 win over the Commanders. With the depth present in the defensive-back corps, Jobe may be asked to fill a number of defensive roles in Sunday's contest. Regardless of where he plays, the cornerback was consistently logging 60-plus defensive snaps prior to the injury, so the defense will likely continue to make use of the 27-year-old.

Vaki (ankle) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Eagles.

Vaki has been working through separate lower-body injuries for most of the season. He ended the week with back-to-back limited practices while working through an ankle issue, and his status for Sunday's game may not be officially known until the Lions announce their list of inactive players approximately 90 minutes before the 8:20 p.m. ET kickoff. Craig Reynolds and Kalif Raymond would handle return duties on kickoffs if Vaki is unable to play against Philadelphia.
