The Detroit Lions have developed a killer instinct this seasonNOVEMBER 19 • ASSOCIATED PRESS
Ifeatu Melifonwu - Activated Monday The Lions activated Melifonwu (ankle) from injured reserve Monday.
Impact Despite head coach Dan Campbell telling reporters earlier Monday that Melifonwu suffered a setback and "won't be ready for a while," the Lions have added him to their active roster. Eric Woodyard of ESPN.com reports that Melifonwu didn't practice last week Friday after sustaining a different injury than the one that landed him on IR, leaving his status for Detroit's Week 12 matchup against the Colts uncertain. His participation in practice throughout this week will likely offer the best indication of whether he can return to the field Sunday.

Alex Anzalone - Shifts to IR The Lions placed Anzalone (forearm) on injured reserve Monday.
Impact Anzalone played 20 defensive snaps and recorded five total tackles before breaking his forearm in Sunday's blowout win over the Jaguars. This injury is expected to sideline the 30-year-old for 6-to-8 weeks, so his shift to IR comes as no surprise. Anzalone will be now be forced to miss at least the Lions' next four games, with his earliest possible return coming in the Week 16 matchup against the Bears. Expect Jack Campbell to see increased work with the Lions' first-team defense until Anzalone can return.

Kerby Joseph - Nabs another pick in win Joseph recorded three total tackles (two solo) and one interception in Sunday's 52-6 win over the Jaguars.
Impact Joseph picked off Mac Jones in the third quarter of Sunday's blowout win, brining his season total up to seven interceptions through 10 games, which leads the NFL. The third-year pro has also recorded 48 total tackles and nine passes defended while playing 100 percent of the Lions' defensive snaps in all but two games this year. He's expected to continue causing problems for opposing offenses as the season progresses.
NOVEMBER 18 • ROTOWIRE
Brian Branch - Tallies seven tackles vs. Jaguars Branch recorded seven total tackles (five solo) in Sunday's 52-6 win over the Jaguars.
Impact Branch finished Sunday's blowout win as the Lions' second-leading tackler, trailing just Jack Campbell's nine-stop performance. The 23-year-old from Alabama has emerged as one of the best playmakers in the NFL in his second season, recording 57 total tackles and 13 passes defended, including four interceptions, through just nine appearances. He's expected to continue starting alongside Kerby Joseph as part of one of the best safety duos in the NFL in the Week 12 matchup against the Colts.
NOVEMBER 18 • ROTOWIRE
Jack Campbell - Solid outing in blowout win Campbell recorded nine total tackles (three solo), including 0.5 sacks, in Sunday's 52-6 win over the Jaguars.
Impact Campbell led Detroit's defense in total tackles Sunday and has now posted seven-plus stops in each of his last seven outings. The second-year pro from Iowa has really emerged as the Lions' top inside linebacker this season, having recorded 78 total tackles, including 1.5 sacks, and one pass defended across the team's first 10 games. He's expected to remain a viable IDP choice as the Lions travel to Indianapolis in Week 12.
NOVEMBER 18 • ROTOWIRE
Ifeatu Melifonwu - Not close to returning Head coach Dan Campell stated Monday that Melifonwu (ankle) suffered a setback, and 'he won't be ready for a while," Nolan Bianchi of The Detroit News reports.
Impact Melifonwu had his 21-day window to practice with the team opened on Nov. 6. His setback could jeopardize his return this season, as the Syracuse product will need to be placed on the 53-man roster no later than Nov. 27. If he is not near ready to play, the Lions will either need to use an active roster spot on him anyway, or return him to IR, officially ending his season.

Tim Patrick - Three catches in blowout win Patrick caught three of four targets for 26 yards in Sunday's 52-6 win over the Jaguars.
Impact Patrick's three catches were his highest total since Week 6 versus Dallas while the four targets matched a season high for the 30-year-old. The wide receiver has carved out a spot as Detroit's No. 3 option behind Amon-Ra St. Brown and Jameson Williams, but opportunities are few and far between. On the season, Patrick has caught 15 of 19 targets for 203 yards over nine games.
NOVEMBER 18 • ROTOWIRE
Brock Wright - Secures touchdown in win Wright caught his only target for a five-yard touchdown in Sunday's 52-6 victory over the Jaguars.
Impact Wright was expected to see an expanded role on offense with starting tight end Sam LaPorta (shoulder) unavailable, but Wright only saw one target. On the bright side, the tight end's only reception was a five-yard score in the third quarter. If LaPorta is unavailable again in Week 12 versus the Colts, Wright could see an uptick in usage once again.
NOVEMBER 18 • ROTOWIRE
Kalif Raymond - Two catches in Week 11 Raymond caught both of his targets for 30 yards in Sunday's 52-6 win over Jacksonville.
Impact Raymond was able to secure a pair of catches after going without a reception in Week 10 against the Texans, notching his highest yardage total since Week 7. The wide receiver continues to operate as a small piece in a massively successful Detroit offense, reeling in 16 catches for 204 yards over 10 games in 2024.

Impact Vaki entered the game in the fourth quarter with the Lions well out in front, turning a career-high five carries into nine yards. The rookie remains an extreme depth option in Detroit's backfield, playing only nine offensive snaps before Sunday's blowout victory.
