Ryan McCollum - Snagged off practice squad The Lions signed McCollum off the Texans' practice squad Wednesday, Dave Birkett of the Detroit Free Press reports.
Impact McCollum, a rookie center, will get a chance with Detroit with Frank Ragnow (toe) having moved to IR.

Romeo Okwara - Destined for surgery Okwara (Achilles) announced via his official Instagram account Wednesday that he is scheduled for surgery this week.
Impact Okwara suffered a season-ending torn Achilles during the Lions' loss to the Bears in Week 4, so it's no surprise to see him set to go under the knife. The injury is, of course, a brutal turn of events for the standout linebacker, who put together a career-high 10 sacks last season. Charles Harris stands to inherit a larger defensive role in Okwara's stead.

Frank Ragnow - Missing at least three games The Lions placed Ragnow (toe) on injured reserve Wednesday.
Impact Ragnow is dealing with a toe injury sustained during Sunday's loss to the Bears, and for which he will be forced to miss at least a minimum of three games. With the standout center sidelined, Evan Brown looks like he will be forced into a starting role. The shift could prove unfortunate for Jared Goff and the Lions' offense, with a matchup against Danielle Hunter and the Vikings on deck Week 5.

Austin Seibert - Activated from COVID-19 list The Lions reinstated Seibert (illness) from the reserve/COVID-19 list Wednesday.
Impact After testing positive for the virus Sept. 23, Seibert proceeded to miss the Lions' last two games. Though Seibert is seemingly fully healthy again and is expected to handle kicking duties Sunday in Minnesota, Dave Birkett of the Detroit Free Press notes that kicker Ryan Santoso was one of four practice-squad players protected by Detroit in Week 5. In the event Seibert isn't sharp in practices this week and needs additional time off to recover from his bout with the virus, Santoso could be elevated from the practice squad prior to Sunday's contest.
