The Detroit Lions released their first injury status report of the 2024 season ahead of Sunday’s opener against the Los Angeles Rams in Ford Field.
It’s a light list of injured Lions. Only one player, rookie safety Loren Strickland, missed the practice session. Strickland is dealing with a thumb injury.
Two other defenders were limited in the session, which was an estimated participation as the Lions didn’t actually practice. Safety Ifeatu Melifonwu remains limited with an ankle, an injury that he suffered in the second preseason game. Defensive tackle DJ Reader was also deemed as a limited participants as he works back in from quadriceps tendon surgery.
The Lions have two more practice reports this week.
