INJURIES

Alex Anzalone - Set to face Cardinals Anzalone (ankle) is active for Sunday's game against Arizona.
Impact Anzalone suffered the injury during Sunday's Week 14 loss to the Broncos. However, he closed the week with two limited practices and will return to play a key role in the Lions defense. Across 13 games this season, Anzalone has recorded 78 total tackles, seven passes defended, one interception and one sack.

Trinity Benson - Inactive again Benson (coach's decision) is inactive for Sunday's game against Arizona.
Impact Benson has slipped down the Lions' depth chart in recent weeks, particularly due to the emergence of Josh Reynolds. He has not been active since Week 10 but will be a healthy scratch for the second consecutive game.
DECEMBER 19, 2021 • ROTOWIRE
D'Andre Swift, Josh Jackson, Tracy Walker inactive for Lions vs. Cardinals The Lions will be shorthanded offensively against the Cardinals in Week 15.
DECEMBER 19, 2021 • USATODAY.COM
Josh Reynolds - Active in Week 15 Reynolds (thigh) is listed as active Sunday against the Cardinals.
Impact After ending Week 15 prep with back-to-back limited showings in practice and getting tagged as questionable, Reynolds will play through a thigh issue. His previous rapport with Jared Goff when both were members of the Rams has yielded fruit, with the pair connecting on 10 of 17 passes for 191 yards and one touchdown over the last three contests. No other Lion has more receiving yards during that stretch (Amon-Ra St. Brown is second at 182 yards).

Bobby Price - Ready for return Price (undisclosed) was activated from the reserve/COVID-19 list Saturday.
Impact Price has missed each of Detroit's last two games, first due to a shoulder injury and then due to COVID-19 protocols. He should be in line for a return Sunday against the Cardinals and is likely to serve primarily on special teams.
DECEMBER 19, 2021 • ROTOWIRE
Ifeatu Melifonwu - Activated for Week 15 Melifonwu (undisclosed) was activated from the reserve/COVID-19 list Saturday.
Impact Melifonwu missed the team's Week 14 loss to the Broncos, though he should be ready to retake the field Sunday against the Cardinals. He's managed to play in only three games this season due to a thigh injury, and has been limited primarily to a special teams role when active.

Tracy Walker III - Won't play Sunday The Lions downgraded Walker (illness) from questionable to out ahead of Sunday's game against the Cardinals.
Impact Detroit brought Walker back from the reserve/COVID-19 list Saturday, but the Lions evidently had some reservations about his availability, given that he took a questionable tag into the weekend. Walker remains on the active roster and still appears to be asymptomatic of the virus, but Detroit may want to give him some more recovery time after he sat out last week's loss to the Broncos and didn't practice in any capacity Week 15. While Walker is out for another game, look for Will Harris and Dean Marlowe to serve as Detroit's starting safety tandem.

Tracy Walker III - Questionable Sunday Walker (illness) is questionable for Sunday's game against the Cardinals, Dave Birkett of the Detroit Free Press reports.
Impact Walker was activated from the reserve/COVID-19 list Saturday but will still carry a questionable designation ahead of Sunday's matchup. If he's able to play, he'll presumably serve as the starting free safety.
DECEMBER 19, 2021 • ROTOWIRE
AJ Parker - Activated Saturday Parker (ankle) was activated from injured reserve Saturday.
Impact Parker was designated to return from IR on Thursday but apparently won't need anywhere close to the allotted three weeks to return. He'll be back in his depth role in the Lions' secondary Sunday against the Cardinals.
DECEMBER 19, 2021 • ROTOWIRE
Tracy Walker III - Off COVID list Walker was activated from the reserve/COVID-19 list Saturday.
Impact Walker was forced to miss Week 14 due to the issue. He'll be back at his starting free safety spot against the Cardinals on Sunday.

Jamaal Williams - Not activated from COVID-19 list Williams (illness) wasn't among the Lions activated from the reserve/COVID-19 list Saturday, meaning he'll be sidelined Sunday versus the Cardinals.
Impact Williams thus will miss a second game in a row after testing positive for the virus back on Dec. 10. With D'Andre Swift (shoulder) also unavailable, Detroit elevated Craig Reynolds from the practice squad to join forces with Godwin Igwebuike and Jermar Jefferson out of the backfield. If their usage from a Week 13 loss at Denver is any indication, Reynolds and Igwebuike will split most of the reps afforded Lions running backs Sunday. Williams' next chance to play will be Sunday, Dec. 26 in Atlanta.

Craig Reynolds - Jumps to active roster The Lions elevated Reynolds from the practice squad Saturday.
Impact Meanwhile, Jamaal Williams (illness) wasn't among the Lions activated from the reserve/COVID-19 list, meaning he'll be sidelined for a second consecutive contest Sunday against the Cardinals. With D'Andre Swift (shoulder) also ruled out, Reynolds could be in line for a similar workload to the one he handled last Sunday in Denver, when he turned a 45 percent share of snaps into 13 touches for 99 yards from scrimmage. As for the rest of the Detroit backfield, Godwin Igwebuike notched eight carries on a 45 percent share, while Jermar Jefferson didn't receive a touch on five percent of those plays.
