Lions' Sione Vaki: Could compete for No. 2 job
Vaki could have an opportunity to compete for the No. 2 spot at running back with the Lions in 2026.
Vaki was scarcely used during the 2025 campaign, logging just two offensive snaps over 11 games, turning his only carry into a four-yard gain. With primary backup David Montgomery being dealt to the Texans on Monday, Vaki currently sits as the most experienced reserve option behind starter Jahmyr Gibbs in Detroit's backfield. The Lions will almost certainly bring in competition for the 2024 fourth-rounder in free agency or the 2026 NFL Draft, but he will have his clearest path toward playing time ahead of his third season with the Lions.

Lions' Sione Vaki: No offensive role in 2025
Vaki rushed the ball one time for four yards while also adding 39 kickoff-return yards during the 2025 regular season.
Vaki logged two total offensive snaps during his sophomore campaign with the Lions, operating as a distant depth option behind Jahmyr Gibbs and David Montgomery in the backfield. The running back was an intriguing asset as a fourth-round pick in the 2024 NFL Draft, but with both Gibbs and Montgomery under contract for next season, his upside will once again be limited greatly.

Lions' Sione Vaki: Upgrades to full participation
Vaki (thumb) was a full participant in Thursday's practice.
Vaki upgraded to a full participant Thursday and was cleared of any injury designation after being limited with a thumb issue in Wednesday's session. The running back will likely continue in his role as a relief option behind starters Jahmyr Gibbs and David Montgomery for Sunday's game against the Steelers.

Lions' Sione Vaki: Limited Wednesday
Vaki (thumb) was limited in Wednesday's practice,
Seemingly on the injury report weekly due to various ailments this season, Vaki has appeared in eight games, playing just one offensive snap and another 136 on special teams. He carries next to no fantasy value.

Lions' Sione Vaki: Suiting up Sunday
Vaki (thumb) is active for Sunday's game against the Rams.
Vaki has been dealing with a thumb issue throughout December but hasn't missed any time because of the injury. With Jahmyr Gibbs and David Montgomery both healthy, Vaki probably won't get much (if any) work on offense against Los Angeles, though he consistently has served as a core special-teamer.

Lions' Sione Vaki: Questionable for Sunday
Vaki (thumb) is questionable for Sunday's matchup against the Rams, Eric Woodyard of ESPN.com reports.
Vaki was limited in practice throughout the week with a thumb injury he suffered in Week 13 against the Packers. Given that he played through the injury in Week 14, the 24-year-old should have a good chance to play Sunday against the Rams, barring a setback. Should he sit out, Jacob Saylors will serve as the No. 3 running back behind Jahmyr Gibbs and David Montgomery.

Lions' Sione Vaki: Remains limited by thumb injury
Vaki logged a limited practice Wednesday.
Vaki played through the thumb injury in Detroit's Week 14 win over Dallas after practicing in limited fashion throughout the week. Considering he's remaining limited to start the new week, Vaki should be in a good position to suit up Sunday against the Rams, barring a setback.

Vaki (thumb) is active for Thursday's game against the Cowboys.
Vaki has been battling an ankle injury for the last few weeks, but it was a thumb issue that caused him to be listed as questionable for Thursday's pivotal matchup against the Cowboys. He'll likely be limited to special-teams work versus Dallas.

Lions' Sione Vaki: Deemed questionable
Vaki (thumb) is questionable for Thursday's game versus the Cowboys.
Vaki appeared to pick up a thumb injury during last week's loss to the Packers, putting his status in jeopardy ahead of a crucial game versus the Cowboys. If Vaki -- who has played just two offensive snaps this season -- sits out, Jacob Saylors will serve as the No. 3 running back behind Jahmyr Gibbs and David Montgomery.

Lions' Sione Vaki: Still limited at practice Tuesday
Vaki (thumb) was a limited participant at practice Tuesday.
Vaki popped up on Detroit's injury report Monday with a thumb issue, and he's still tending to that as the team's preparations for Week 14 continue. If he can't upgrade to full participation at practice Wednesday, he'll likely carry an injury designation into game day.

Lions' Sione Vaki: Dealing with thumb issue
Vaki (thumb) was a limited participant at practice Monday.
Vaki was able to play through an ankle injury in the team's 34-27 loss to the Packers on Thanksgiving, but he may have picked up a thumb injury in the contest. The running back's ability to practice in any capacity is a good sign, and he'll have two more chances to log a full practice and leave the injury behind before Thursday's matchup with the Cowboys.

Lions' Sione Vaki: Cleared to play Thursday
Vaki (ankle) is active for Thursday's Thanksgiving matchup against Green Bay.
Vaki has been dealing with an ankle issue for the past two weeks and was deemed limited in all three of Detroit's practice walkthroughs this week. He's going to be able to suit up, though he probably won't see a lot of work on offense. Vaki has taken just two offensive snaps over five games this season, but he's also contributed on special teams, including as a kick returner.
