The Detroit Lions have placed three players on injured reserve: Alim McNeill, Khalil Dorsey, and Carlton Davis. McNeill's torn ACL and Dorsey's fractured leg are expected to sideline them for the season, while Davis may return if the Lions advance far in the playoffs.

In response to these injuries, the Lions signed Anthony Pittman and added cornerback Stantley Thomas-Oliver to the practice squad. Coach Dan Campbell remains optimistic about managing the team's injury challenges, with over 20 players currently on injured reserve.
