Detroit Lions waive WR Tom Kennedy; Michael Brockers (illness) out vs. New York Jets

The illness sweeping through the Detroit Lions locker room has infected another player.

The Lions ruled Michael Brockers out for Sunday's game against the New York Jets, and added running back Justin Jackson to the injury report with an illness.

Brockers, who did not travel with the team, was doubtful to play after missing practice Thursday and Friday. Jackson, the Lions' kick returner, is questionable.

At least seven players have missed practice time while sick the past two weeks. Aidan Hutchinson, who did not practice Thursday, and Mike Hughes, who missed practice Thursday and Friday, are questionable for Sunday.
