The Detroit Lions face a setback as key defenders Marcus Davenport and Derrick Barnes have been placed on injured reserve. Davenport is out for the 2024 season due to a torn triceps, while Barnes is sidelined with a knee injury stemming from a recent game against the Arizona Cardinals.

In response, the Lions have added wide receiver Tim Patrick to their active roster and signed cornerback Morice Norris to the practice squad. Coach Dan Campbell noted the depth at linebacker, with several players ready to step up while the injured players recover.
