Lions' Penei Sewell: Restructures contract
The Lions restructured Sewell's contract Saturday, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.
The Lions converted $18.6 million of Sewell's contract into a signing bonus to free up cap space. The team also restructured the contract of Amon-Ra St. Brown, pointing to a potential move for either a high-value player or increased depth sometime soon.

Lions' Amon-Ra St. Brown: Contract restructured by Detroit
The Lions and St. Brown agreed to a restructured contract Saturday, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.
Per Spotrac, $26 million of St. Brown's salary was converted into a signing bonus, which alone created $20.8 million in cap space to give the Lions more flexibility for the next two seasons. St. Brown has been one of the most productive receivers since being selected by the Lions in the fourth round of the 2021 NFL Draft, having logged 100-plus catches and 1,000-plus receiving yards in each of the last four years. He finished the 2025 regular season with 117 catches (on a career-high 172 targets) for 1,401 yards and 11 touchdowns across 17 games. He'll once again lead a Lions pass-catching group that also includes Jameson Williams, Isaac TeSlaa and Sam LaPorta.

Lions' Mekhi Wingo: Clear for Sunday
Wingo (groin) does not have an injury designation ahead of Sunday's game against the Saints.
Wingo upgraded from a limited participant in the Wednesday and Thursday sessions to full participation in Friday's practice. The defensive tackle has managed to recover from a groin injury just in time to suit up for a depth role with the Lions' defense in Sunday's contest.

Lions' Christian Izien: Questionable with groin issue
Izien (groin) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Saints.
Izien has dealt with a groin injury throughout Week 1, logging limited participation in three consecutive practices. It is unclear how much the issue inhibits the reserve defensive back. If Izien must miss Sunday's contest, the Lions will likely elevate a defensive back from the practice squad to the active roster to fill in, as both Brian Branch (Achilles) and Kerby Joseph (knee) will miss the contest.

Lions' Derrick Moore: Will suit up vs. Saints
Moore (hamstring) does not carry an injury designation ahead of Sunday's game versus New Orleans.
Moore was limited at practice earlier in the week with a hamstring issue, but he was able to log a full practice Friday and will be available in Week 1. Detroit used a second-round pick on the rookie back in April, so it wouldn't be surprising if he got significant playing time right away.

Lions' Tom Kennedy: Signs to active roster
The Lions signed Kennedy from their practice squad to their active roster Thursday.
Kennedy initially missed the cut for Detroit's 53-man roster for 2026, but he's now back in the fold with Week 1 looming. He could be tasked with punt-return duties Sunday versus the Saints.

Lions' Ennis Rakestraw: Logs full session on Wednesday
Rakestraw (leg) was a full participant in Wednesday's practice, Tim Twentyman of the Lions' official site reports.
Rakestraw went down with a leg injury during a practice on Aug. 20. The cornerback was also dealing with an upper-body injury from even earlier in training camp. Rakestraw has cleared himself of both issues and should be all set to practice throughout Week 1 in anticipation of the Lions' Sunday contest with the Saints.

Lions' Malcolm Rodriguez: Full participant Wednesday
Rodriguez (ankle) was a full participant in Wednesday's practice, Tim Twentyman of the Lions' official site reports.
Rodriguez has recovered from the ankle injury he suffered in early August. The linebacker was not listed on the injury report and should be all set to suit up for Sunday's Week 1 contest against the Saints.

Lions' Jimmy Rolder: Full practice on Wednesday
Rolder (hamstring) was a full participant in Wednesday's practice, Tim Twentyman of the Lions' official site reports.
Rolder was week-to-week throughout training camp with a hamstring issue. The linebacker was able to log a full practice during the Lions' first Week 1 session and should be all set to suit up for Sunday's contest against the Saints.

Lions' D.J. Reed: Practices on Wednesday
Reed (groin) was a full participant in Wednesday's practice, Tim Twentyman of the Lions' official site reports.
Reed dealt with a minor groin issue throughout training camp. The starting outside cornerback for the Lions is healthy and ready to log full sessions in the practices leading up to Sunday's Week 1 contest against the Saints.

Lions' Cade Mays: Targets mid-October return
Mays (wrist) is looking to return from injured reserve by mid-October, Dave Birkett of the Detroit Free Press reports.
Mays was placed on IR during the Aug. 30 cutdown day. The center fractured his wrist during the preseason, but is eyeing a quick month and a half of downtime before being able to return to protecting Jared Goff. While Mays remains on IR, Juice Scruggs will be the starting safety for the Lions.
