Lions' Aidan Hutchinson: Still aiming to return for Super Bowl
Hutchinson (tibia/fibula) said Tuesday in an appearance on "The Squeeze" podcast that he's continuing to eye a return to the field in the Super Bowl, should the Lions advance that far in the postseason. "I'm at that mark and I'm on track for my goal of returning for the Super Bowl," Hutchinson said. "I keep telling all the boys when I see them in the facility, I'm like, 'You guys just got to get there and I promise you I'm going to be back.'"
Before fracturing his tibia and fibula in a Week 6 win at Dallas and undergoing surgery Oct. 13, Hutchinson looked like the frontrunner for the NFL Defensive Player of the Year Award through the Lions' first five games of the season, as he recorded 7.5 sacks and a forced fumble during that stretch. The Lions have since suffered more personnel losses on defense that have tested the team's depth, but if Detroit is able to persevere and build further on last season's NFC Championship Game appearance, the team could get some major reinforcement in the Super Bowl in Hutchinson. The star defensive end has seemingly navigated his rehab program from surgery without any setbacks thus far, but he'll still likely need to get back on the practice field by mid-to-late January to have a chance at contributing in the Super Bowl, if the Lions are able to advance that far without him.

Lions' Ben Niemann: Steps into more substantial role
Niemann recorded five total tackles (two solo) and a pass defensed in Sunday's 48-42 loss to the Bills.
Niemann played a season-high 43 defensive snaps in Week 15 with Trevor Nowaske (concussion) unavailable, amongst others. The five tackles were Niemann's highest total of the year, and with the amount of injuries Detroit is dealing with, he'll likely operate in a similar role in Week 16 against the Bears.

Lions' Khalil Dorsey: Placed on injured reserve
The Lions placed Dorsey (ankle) on injured reserve Tuesday.
Dorsey suffered a season-ending ankle injury in the second quarter of Sunday's 48-42 loss to the Bills. With Carlton Davis (jaw) also on IR, Kindle Vildor is slated to start at outside cornerback opposite Terrion Arnold.

Lions' Carlton Davis: Goes on injured reserve
Detroit placed Davis (jaw) on injured reserve Tuesday.
As expected, Davis will go on injured reserve after fracturing his jaw during Sunday's 48-42 loss to Buffalo. The 2018 second-round pick is expected to be sidelined for at least six weeks once he undergoes surgery to address the injury, which opens the door for him to return for the NFC Championship Game if the Lions make it that far in the playoffs. With Davis and Khalil Dorsey (ankle) on IR, Kindle Vildor is expected to step into the second starting outside corner role opposite Terrion Arnold.

Lions' Alim McNeill: Placed on IR
The Lions placed McNeill (knee) on injured reserve Tuesday.
As expected, McNeill will be on the Lions' injured reserve for the rest of the 2024 campaign after he tore the ACL in his right knee during Sunday's 48-42 loss to the Bills. With McNeill sidelined, Levi Onwuzurike is slated to move into the second starting defensive tackle role alongside DJ Reader.

Lions' Anthony Pittman: Signs with Lions
Detroit signed Pittman off of the Jaguars' practice squad Tuesday, Dave Birkett of the Detroit Free Press reports.
With the Lions dealing with a mountain of injuries to their defense, they saw fit to bring Pittman aboard to provide depth at linebacker. His fastest path to playing time may be on special teams, where he's already spent the majority of his NFL career.
