Aching Stafford starts but can't make up for Lions' miscues

Full practice Wednesday Moore (ankle) was a full participant during Wednesday's practice.
Impact Moore missed last week's loss to the Packers with the ankle issue, but he appears on track for a return. His return likely won't affect much from a defensive perspective, as he's yet to see a defensive snap this season.

Not ready for Week 14 return Moore (ankle) is inactive for Sunday's matchup against the Packers.
Impact Moore carried a questionable tag heading into the afternoon, having logged limited practice sessions Thursday and Friday. The 24-year-old demonstrated at least some improvement to his practice involvement throughout the week after suffering an ankle injury during last Sunday's win over Chicago, but seemingly not enough to get the nod for a divisional matchup against the Packers. The absence will not affect Detroit's secondary, as Moore has yet to receive a defensive snap this season.

Back in action Week 6 Moore (calf) is active for Sunday's matchup against the Jaguars.
Impact The 24-year-old had been beleaguered by hamstring and calf injuries over the first month of the season, playing in just one of the Lions' first four games. A Week 5 bye permitted Moore the opportunity to heal up, and he will now assist Detroit in pursuit of its second win of the season. In his lone appearance Week 2, Moore fielded 63 percent of the special-teams workload, though he did not receive a single defensive snap.

Set to sit Sunday Moore (calf) has been ruled out of Sunday's game versus the Saints, Tim Twentyman of the Lions' official site reports.
Impact Moore will sit out a second straight game and will aim to return after the team's bye week, Week 6 against the Jaguars. In the one game he played this season, Moore operated strictly on special teams, so his absence mainly hurts the defensive depth.

Can't go against Arizona Moore (calf) is listed among Detroit's inactive players for Sunday's matchup against the Cardinals.
Impact The second-year man out of Ole Miss hasn't yet played a defensive snap in 2020, so his absence from Sunday's lineup should not be considered an additional advantage for Kyler Murray and the Cardinals' passing attack. Moore played nearly two-thirds of Detroit's special-teams snaps last Sunday in a loss to Green Bay, but the fact that he missed Friday's practice showed potential for him to miss Week 3.

Lions WR Golladay makes 2020 debut; Bucs' Godwin also active

Questionable against Cardinals Moore (calf) didn't practice Friday and is considered questionable for Sunday's game against the Cardinals, Tim Twentyman of the Lions' official site reports.
Impact Moore logged two limited sessions before sitting out completely Friday, so he may be trending in the wrong direction. Considering he hasn't played anything but special teams this year, his potential absence won't shake up the defensive dynamic against the Cardinals' Air Raid offense.

Back in action Moore (hamstring) will play in Sunday's game against the Packers.
Impact Moore missed last week's game with the hamstring issue, but as evidenced by this news, he's back and will make his 2020 debut. Now healthy, Moore will handle depth safety duties, set to be the primary backup behind Duron Harmon at strong safety.

Won't play Sunday Moore (hamstring) has been ruled out of Sunday's game versus the Bears, Tim Twentyman of the Lions' official site reports.
Impact More didn't participate in practice all week, so it's unsurprising that he won't play in the season opener. Will Harris is the primary backup safety to begin the year.
