DETROIT LIONS NEWS

Taylor Decker - Cleared to play Week 9 Decker (chest) does not have an injury designation for Sunday's matchup against the Packers.

Impact Decker began the week missing practice due to a chest issue, but he returned to a limited session Thursday before practicing in full Friday. He'll thus be able to take on his usual role as Detroit's starting left tackle Sunday versus Green Bay.

Sione Vaki - Doubtful for Sunday Vaki (knee) is listed as doubtful ahead of Sunday's matchup against the Packers.

Impact Vaki appeared to have moved past his knee issue after recording a full practice session Thursday. However, he downgraded to a DNP on Friday and will likely miss the Lions' Week 9 divisional matchup. With Vaki expected to be sidelined Sunday, Detroit's running back room will likely consist of David Montgomery, Jahmyr Gibbs and Craig Reynolds.

Josh Paschal - Won't play in Week 9 Head coach Dan Campbell told reporters Friday that Paschal (illness) won't play in Sunday's matchup against the Packers, Kyle Meinke of MLive.com reports.

Malcolm Rodriguez - Officially out for Sunday Head coach Dan Campbell told reporters Friday that Rodriguez (ankle) won't play in Sunday's matchup against the Packers, Kyle Meinke of MLive.com reports.

Impact The second-year linebacker didn't practice Wednesday or Thursday after sustaining an ankle injury in the Lions' Week 8 win over the Titans, so it's no surprise that he'll be sidelined in Week 9. Expect Trevor Nowaske or Jalen Reeves-Maybin to see increased work with Detroit's first-team defense in Rodriguez's stead.

Malcolm Rodriguez - Doesn't practice Thursday Rodriguez (ankle) did not practice Thursday.

Impact Rodriguez injured his ankle during the Lions' Week 8 win over the Titans, but he was able to avoid a high-ankle sprain. Given its an aggravated injury and he's logged consecutive DNPs this week, Rodriguez is unlikely to play against the Packers on Sunday. Should Rodriguez be sidelined, Trevor Nowaske would have the inside track on Ben Niemann to start at outside linebacker alongside Jack Campbell and Alex Anzalone.

Sione Vaki - Past knee injury Vaki (knee) was a full participant during Thursday's practice.

Impact Vaki was held out of Wednesday's practice due to a knee injury he likely picked up during the Lions' Week 8 win over the Titans. The injury doesn't appear to be severe, however, as he was able to practice without limitations Thursday. Barring any setbacks, Vaki will suit up and play in his special teams role against the Packers on Sunday.
