The Lions placed O'Connor (knee) on injured reserve Friday.
O'Connor didn't practice at all last week and missed Sunday's game against Washington. He was unable to return to practice this week and has consequently been placed on IR. The veteran defensive end must now miss at least four contests, so he won't be eligible to return until Sunday, Dec. 14 versus the Rams.

Lions' Malcolm Rodriguez: Could return Week 11
Rotowire
Rodriguez (knee) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Eagles.
Rodriguez was a full practice participant all week, but he would need to be activated from injured reserve in order to be eligible to play Sunday. The 2022 sixth-rounder is recovering from a torn ACL that he suffered from November of 2024, and his return would strengthen the Lions' depth at linebacker while giving the team another contributor for special teams. Rodriguez logged 43 tackles (27 solo), including 2.0 sacks, one pass defense and one fumble recovery across 10 regular-season games in 2024.

Rotowire
Paschal (back) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Eagles.
Paschal was limited in practice all week due to a back injury that he's been recovering from since July. He hasn't progressed enough in his recovery to make his 2025 debut Week 11 and will remain on the reserve/non-football injury list. Paschal's next opportunity to play is Week 12 against the Giants on Sunday, Nov. 23.

Lions' Amik Robertson: Dealing with hamstring injury
Rotowire
Robertson (hamstring) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Eagles.
Robertson popped up on Thursday's practice report as a limited participant due to a hamstring injury. He's been given the questionable tag for Sunday's road game, and if he joins Terrion Arnold (concussion) on the inactive list, then Rock Ya-Sin, Avonte Maddox and Nick Whiteside would be the top candidates to start at outside corner. Robertson has started in each of the Lions' last five games, and over that span he has accumulated 16 tackles (14 solo), two pass defenses (one interception) and one forced fumble.

Lions' D.J. Reed: Chance to return Week 11
Rotowire
Reed (hamstring) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Eagles.
Reed has a chance to return from a five-game absence due to a hamstring injury that caused him to land on injured reserve in early October. He was limited in all three practices during Week 11 prep, and he would have to be activated from injured reserve Saturday in order to be available for Sunday's road game. Reed's return would be timely for the Lions, given that Terrion Arnold (concussion) has been ruled out and Amik Robertson (hamstring) is listed as questionable for Week 11.

Rotowire
Davenport (shoulder) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Eagles.

Lions' Kerby Joseph: Missing fourth straight game
Rotowire
Joseph (knee) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Eagles.

Lions' Terrion Arnold: Won't play against Philadelphia
Rotowire
Arnold (concussion) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Eagles.
Arnold entered the league's concussion protocol during the Lions' Week 10 win over the Commanders, which caused him to miss all three practices during Week 11 prep. A return to practice would indicate that he's progressing through the league's protocol, though he would have to be cleared by an independent neurologist in order to play against the Giants in Week 12. Rock Ya-Sin will likely start at outside corner Sunday in Arnold's absence, and Nick Whiteside and Avontae Maddox could also work with the Lions' first-team defense if Amik Robertson (hamstring) is also ruled out.

Rotowire

After popping up on Wednesday's injury report with a shoulder injury and failing to practice, Hutchinson returned to business as usual for Thursday's session. With Eric Woodyard of ESPN.com reporting Wednesday that the injury is not severe, the standout edge rusher should be good to go for Sunday's game against the Eagles.

Rotowire
