By Sunday 
The Detroit Lions are rolling into Week 11 with momentum — but unfortunately, not with a full roster. Just one day before their primetime showdown with the Philadelphia Eagles, Detroit announced yet another wave of troubling injury news, officially ruling out four more players for Sunday night.
Let’s break down what this means, because… whew. This one stings.
Four More Sidelined for Week 11
On Saturday, the Lions confirmed that Miles Frazier, Marcus Davenport, Malcolm Rodriguez, and D.J. Reed have all been downgraded to OUT. None of them will be activated from their injury lists in time for the matchup.
If that wasn’t enough, rookie wide receiver Isaac TeSlaa was added to the injury report as questionable with an oblique issue. At this point, Detroit’s injury list is practically a novella.
And This Comes After Friday’s Tough News…
It wasn’t long ago — literally a day — that the Lions ruled out:
- Sam LaPorta
- Terrion Arnold
- Kerby Joseph
- Josh Paschal
That’s not just a few depth pieces; that’s real production missing on both sides of the football. Detroit will be walking into one of the NFL’s toughest environments short-handed at nearly every position group.
The Stakes Are High, and So Is the Pressure
At 6–3, the Lions have put themselves in a strong position, but Week 11 was already shaping up to be a challenge. Now, health has become the biggest storyline of the week — and maybe the turning point of the season.
Night game. On the road. Against the Eagles. With a roster that looks like it’s been through a Black Friday sale stampede.
Still, if there’s anything we’ve learned about Dan Campbell’s team, it’s this: adversity doesn’t scare them. Detroit may be battered, but they’re definitely not backing down.
