On Thursday, I revisited all of the Detroit Lions injured players, laying out how they were injured and updating their statuses with the latest information available. Currently, the Lions have two players on the reserve/NFI list and six players on season-ending injured reserve. None of those eight players are eligible to play in 2021.
The Lions also have another set of players on injured reserve, but this group is eligible to return to the action once they have completed their designated time on IR and are healthy. The Lions have already returned three players from this list—Taylor Decker, Da’Shawn Hand, and Kevin Strong—but they still have another six that could return during the back half of the season.
