What happened: Detroit listed safety Brian Branch, cornerback D.J. Reed, defensive lineman DJ Wonnum, and offensive lineman Cade Mays as questionable heading into the weekend. Reed is dealing with a hip injury, while Wonnum remains in concussion protocol. Mays also carries a questionable tag after sustaining a low-ankle sprain.

Why it matters: Detroit sits at 5-2 on a three-game winning streak and currently holds the sixth seed in the NFC playoff picture. Maintaining defensive depth is critical after a 19-15 victory over Minnesota, especially with Reed serving as a primary contributor in the secondary.

By the numbers: Reed has 42 tackles and one interception in 2026 through seven games, while Branch has seven tackles and one interception in 2026 through two games. Detroit is 5-2 through seven games this season, riding a three-game winning streak.

What to watch: Official game designations will be finalized ahead of kickoff as the team prepares for its next matchup.
