Jamaal Williams - Expected to play Sunday Williams (hip), who is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against Minnesota, is expected to play, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.
Impact Williams was a limited practice participant Wednesday through Friday, which should be enough for him to get the green light to play. Meanwhile, top back D'Andre Swift (groin) is also listed as questionable, but he should also avoid the inactive list. Detroit will clarify the statuses of both running backs approximately 90 minutes prior to Sunday's 1 p.m. ET kickoff.

T.J. Hockenson - Expected to play Sunday Hockenson (knee), who is listed as questionable for Sunday's game at Minnesota, is expected to play, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.
Impact Hockenson was held out of Wednesday's practice before logging limited sessions Thursday and Friday. He was thought to be more of a true game-time call as of Friday, but Schefter's report suggests Hockenson's status is less of a question mark. Still, fantasy managers will want to watch make sure Hockenson avoids the Lions' inactive list, which will be released approximately 90 minutes prior to Sunday's 1 p.m. ET kickoff.

Shane Zylstra - Elevated from practice squad Zylstra was elevated from the Lions' practice squad Saturday.
Impact Zylstra will join the active roster for the first time this season since T.J. Hockenson (knee) is questionable. He should serve as a backup even if Hockenson is held out, and he'll have the opportunity to make his regular-season debut Sunday against the Vikings.
OCTOBER 9, 2021 • ROTOWIRE
Penei Sewell - Officially considered questionable Sewell (ankle) is questionable for Sunday's game against the Vikings.
Impact Sewell was expected to be held out for Sunday's matchup, but he has a chance to play after he practiced in a limited capacity Friday. Will Holden should start if the rookie is unable to suit up.

Michael Brockers - Clear of injury designation Brockers (shoulder) doesn't have an injury designation for Sunday's game at Minnesota.
Impact Brockers has battled the shoulder issue for the past couple weeks but has been able to play through the issue to this point. He has 13 total tackles and one sack through four games this season, and he should fill his usual role up front Sunday for Detroit.

Jamaal Williams - Questionable for Week 5 Williams (hip) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against Minnesota, Tim Twentyman of the Lions' official site reports.
Impact So is D'Andre Swift, but he's been playing through the same groin injury all year. Williams was a new addition to the practice report this week, though limited participation Wednesday through Friday suggests he should be able to play. The Lions will release their inactive list around 11:30 a.m. ET on Sunday, with TE T.J. Hockenson and RT Penei Sewell being the big question marks, while Swift, Williams and pass rusher Trey Flowers (knee) also are listed as questionable, officially.

D'Andre Swift - Listed as questionable again Swift (groin) and Jamaal Williams (hip) both are listed as questionable for Sunday's game against Minnesota, Tim Twentyman of the Lions' official site reports.
Impact Swift has been playing through 'questionable' tags all year, while Williams was a new addition to the injury report at the beginning of the week. Both seem likely to play, whereas RT Penei Sewell (ankle) and TE T.J. Hockenson (knee) seem closer to truly questionable. Even so, fantasy managers should check back in Sunday morning ahead of the 1:00 p.m. ET kickoff to make sure Swift is indeed active for a fifth time in five weeks.
OCTOBER 8, 2021 • ROTOWIRE
T.J. Hockenson - Listed as questionable Hockenson (knee) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game at Minnesota.
Impact Hockenson is believed to have picked up the injury last week, though he saw eight targets and handled an 82-percent snap share in a 24-14 loss to the Bears. He was then held out of Wednesday's practice before logging limited sessions Thursday and Friday. He looks to be truly questionable, with the tight end noting that he'll ice his knee Saturday and hope for the best Sunday morning, per Dave Birkett of the Detroit Free Press. Hockenson also mentioned that his injury is a result of repeated hits to his knees, rather than any structural or internal issue. Still, fantasy managers should treat him as a game-time call ahead of the 1 p.m. ET kickoff Sunday, with Darren Fells likely filling in as Detroit's top tight end if Hockenson can't go.
