DARRYL ROBERTS
Unavailable against Titans Roberts (hip) has been ruled out for Sunday's game versus the Titans.
Impact Roberts missed practice all week and will predictably be sidelined for Sunday's matchup. With Jeff Okudah (groin) and Desmond Trufant (hamstring) already on IR, the Lions will lean on cornerbacks Justin Coleman, Amani Oruwariye and Mike Ford to slow down the Titans' passing game.

The Detroit Lions put cornerback Desmond Trufant and defensive tackle Danny Shelton on injured reserveDECEMBER 2, 2020 • ASSOCIATED PRESS
Returning to practice The Lions designated Roberts (hip) for return from injured reserve Wednesday.
Impact Roberts' hip injury has kept him sidelined since Week 8, and the Lions will now have a 21-day window to evaluate him for a return to the active roster. With Desmond Trufant (hamstring) having been placed on IR, it would be a notable boon for Detroit's secondary if Roberts can make a quick comeback.

Will miss at least three weeks The Lions placed Roberts (hip) on injured reserve Saturday, Chris Burke of The Athletic reports.
Impact Roberts has been playing through a hip injury for over a month, and the Lions have opted to shut him down for at least three weeks in hopes that he'll come back at full strength. Perhaps making the decision easier, both Desmond Trufant and Justin Coleman have shaken off hamstring injuries and will start at cornerback moving forward. Jeff Okudah and Amani Oruwariye should continue to handle decent workloads, too.

Impact Roberts will avoid missing time despite a pair of injuries.

Draws questionable tag Roberts (groin/hip) is questionable for Sunday's game against the Colts, Dave Birkett of the Detroit Free Press reports
Impact Roberts wasn't listed on the injury report to begin the week, but he's now logged back-to-back limited practices. If he's able to suit up against the Colts, the size of his role will likely depend on whether Desmond Trufant (hamstring) is available for the Lions.

Doesn't take full reps Thursday Roberts (groin/hip) was held to limited participation during the Lions' practice session Thursday.
Impact Roberts had been labeled as questionable with a hip injury heading into Detroit's Week 4 matchup against the Saints, but he ultimately logged his first start of the season during that contest while fielding 32 defensive snaps. The issue has seemingly been stubborn in nature, as Roberts is still battling with it after nearly a month. Nevertheless, the Marshall product has been active for every game this season, collecting 20 tackles, three pass deflections and an interception through six appearances.

Ready to rock Sunday Roberts (hip) is active for Sunday's game versus the Saints.
Impact Roberts' role could take a hit with Desmond Trufant (hamstring) returning to the lineup, especially considering Roberts has allowed a 125.4 passer rating and two touchdowns when targeted this year. If he does indeed lose reps, it'll be because rookie first-rounder Jeff Okudah stepped up in the No. 3 CB role.
