Quintez Cephus - Picks up shoulder injury Cephus injured his shoulder during the first half of Sunday's game at Minnesota.

Penei Sewell - Ready to go for Week 5 Sewell (ankle) is active for Sunday's matchup with the Vikings.
Impact As expected, Sewell will be available for the Lions on Sunday after progressing well throughout the week. The rookie first-round pick will likely draw the start at left tackle with Taylor Decker (finger) still on injured reserve.
OCTOBER 10, 2021 • ROTOWIRE
Trey Flowers - Active for Week 5 Flowers (shoulder) is active for Sunday's contest against the Vikings.
Impact Flowers missed two straight games with a shoulder injury, but it appears he will make his return in Week 5. The 28-year-old played 88 defensive snaps and recorded nine tackles through the first two weeks of the season. He should garner a similar workload against the Vikings on Sunday.

Jamaal Williams - Suiting up Week 5 Williams (hip) is listed as active Sunday in Minnesota.
Impact Williams has appeared on the Lions' injury report as less than full this season on two occasions, the most recent this week with a hip injury. While he was limited in practice Wednesday through Friday, he'll be out there along with No. 1 running back D'Andre Swift. On the campaign, Williams has been regularly used to the tune of 55 touches for 280 yards from scrimmage and two touchdowns, while Swift has compiled a 64-338-2 overall stat line, respectively.

T.J. Hockenson - Active in Week 5 Hockenson (knee) is active for Sunday's game at Minnesota.
Impact After missing practice to begin Week 5 prep, Hockenson managed to put in limited sessions Thursday and Friday and set himself up to be a game-time decision. He's made the necessary progress to play Sunday, but it bears watching whether he'll be able to handle his typical 80-plus percent of the offensive snaps. After relatively quiet Weeks 3 and 4 -- a combined six catches for 52 yards and no TDs on 10 targets -- Hockenson will look to get back on track against a Vikings defense that has conceded the third highest YPT (10.5 yards) to tight ends this season.
OCTOBER 10, 2021 • ROTOWIRE
D'Andre Swift - Playing Sunday Swift (groin) is listed as active Sunday at Minnesota.
Impact Swift's preseason groin issue continues to linger, resulting in questionable tags for each of the last four contests. Despite the limitations in practice, however, he's averaged 15 touches for 78 yards from scrimmage while scoring one touchdown during that stretch. Fellow running back Jamaal Williams (hip) also tended to an injury this week, and while he's been cleared to play, he's taken a back seat to Swift in both snap count and reps during the recent three-game span (12.7 touches for 56.7 total yards per outing, one TD).

Penei Sewell - Likely to play Sunday Sewell (ankle), who is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Vikings, is expected to play, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.
Impact Though offensive coordinator Anthony Lynn appeared skeptical earlier this week about Sewell's chances of playing Sunday, the rookie offensive tackle apparently showed enough progress in his return to practice Friday in a limited capacity for the Lions to gain more optimism about his availability. Sewell's status will be clarified one way or another when Detroit releases its inactive list 90 minutes prior to Sunday's 1 p.m. ET kickoff. If active, Sewell would likely start at left tackle with Taylor Decker (finger) still on injured reserve.
OCTOBER 10, 2021 • ROTOWIRE
D'Andre Swift - Expected to be active Week 5 Swift (groin), who is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Vikings, is expected to be active for the contest, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.
Impact Swift has previously been labeled as questionable ahead of each of the Lions' last three contests, but he's played each time, averaging 10 carries and six targets in those games while totaling 234 yards from scrimmage and scoring a touchdown. No. 2 back Jamaal Williams (hip) is also listed as questionable but is expected to play, so Detroit should be able to divvy up the backfield work between him and Swift in relatively typical fashion Sunday.
