Charles Harris - Suffers hip problem Harris (hip) left Sunday's game against the Bengals and didn't return.
Impact Harris left the game late in the fourth quarter, and the coming days will be key to determine the severity of the injury. He should be treated as questionable for next week's contest against the Rams.

D'Andre Swift - Salvages day with late TD Swift carried 13 times for 24 yards and one touchdown while catching five of seven targets for 43 yards during Sunday's 34-11 loss to the Bengals.
Impact Swift was bottled up for the majority of the game before salvaging his fantasy performance with a number of receptions and a rushing score at the tail end of the fourth quarter. Meanwhile, Jamaal Williams saw a season-low five touches, but it's not clear if his reduced workload was at least partly a product of the hip injury Williams appeared on the injury report with this past week. Regardless, Swift has now seen 17.8 combined targets and carries per game through the first six weeks of the season and his usage only stands to benefit from any limitations Williams has going forward.

Nicholas Williams - Questionable to return Williams (ankle) is questionable to return to Sunday's game against the Bengals.
Impact Losing Williams would be a big blow to the Lions' defensive unit, and it remains to be seen if he'll be back before the game comes to an end. Expect Levi Onwuzurike to take his place while he's being evaluated.

Trey Flowers - Active as expected Flowers (knee) is active for Sunday's matchup against the Bengals.
Impact Flowers returned from two-game absence caused by a shoulder injury in Week 5 but was limited all week with a knee issue. However, he'll be active for the second consecutive contest and should serve a key role as a pass rusher for the Lions.
OCTOBER 17, 2021 • ROTOWIRE
Trinity Benson - Won't face Bengals Benson (coach's decision) is inactive for Sunday's matchup against the Bengals.
Impact Benson has served as a depth receiver in every game for the Lions to this point in the campaign, racking up a total of six receptions for 55 yards. However, Geronimo Allison was elevated from the practice squad prior to the team's Week 6 matchup, which will force Benson to the inactive list.
OCTOBER 17, 2021 • ROTOWIRE
Jamaal Williams - Dressing Week 6 Williams (hip) is listed as active Sunday versus the Bengals.
Impact Williams tended to a hip injury for a second week in a row, but an illness kept him off the field entirely from Thursday's practice. Still, he'll be out there Week 6 behind starter D'Andre Swift (groin), which so far has amounted to 14 touches per game this season for Williams.
OCTOBER 17, 2021 • ROTOWIRE
T.J. Hockenson - Playing Sunday Hockenson (knee) is active for Sunday's game against the Bengals.
Impact For the second straight contest, Hockenson is coming off a week in which his practice reps were capped by a knee issue. Still, he logged 81 percent of the offensive snaps last Sunday at Minnesota, which is in the realm of his usual workload (81-93 percent on any given game this season). Hockenson has been relatively quiet since reaching the end zone in Weeks 1 and 2, and he may have a tough time producing Sunday versus a Cincy defense that has allowed just 30.6 receiving yards per game to tight ends this season.
OCTOBER 17, 2021 • ROTOWIRE
D'Andre Swift - Suiting up again Sunday Swift (groin) is listed as active Sunday against the Bengals.
Impact Swift has been a regular on Lions injury reports this season, only to suit up every game day. He's been on the receiving end of at least 12 touches in each outing and averaged 88.4 yards from scrimmage per game while scoring three TDs in five contests to date. Jamaal Williams, Swift's backfield mate, also entered the weekend as questionable but is available Sunday, so he'll continue to eat into the Swift's workload (Williams is averaging 14 touches per game himself).
