DJ Reader - Passes physical, off PUP listReader (quadriceps) was activated from the Lions' active/PUP list Sunday after passing his physical.

ImpactReader ended 2023 on the Bengals' injured reserve after tearing his quadriceps in Week 15 against the Vikings. He missed OTAs and minicamp and began training camp on the Lions' PUP list, but he appears to have fully recovered from the injury and will work on getting caught up to speed ahead of Week 1 against the Rams on Sept. 8. Reader recorded 34 tackles (20 solo), including 1.0 sacks, one pass defended and one fumble recovery across 14 regular-season games in 2023.

James Houston - Records sack in preseason finaleHouston (knee) recorded three total tackles (one solo), including a sack, in Saturday's 24-17 win over the Steelers.

ImpactHouston had been nursing a knee injury that he suffered in the team's preseason opener against the Giants, but he made the most of his opportunity in his return against Pittsburgh. The linebacker notched a sack on quarterback Kyle Allen in the second quarter while playing 22 defensive snaps with Detroit in the contest. Although Houston has proven himself when healthy, head coach Dan Campbell said following the game that he and general manager Brad Holmes will have a tough decision to make on if the linebacker will crack the 53-man roster, Justin Rogers of the Detroit Football Network reports.

Hendon Hooker - Uneven final preseason gameHooker completed 12 of 20 passes for 114 yards, one touchdown and one interception in Saturday's 24-17 preseason win over the Steelers.

ImpactHooker drew the start with neither Jared Goff nor Nate Sudfeld in action. He unsurprisingly struggled in the early series during which the Steelers' played some of their starters, but he did rebound to lead a 12-play, 72-yard touchdown drive just before halftime which concluded with a two-yard touchdown pass. Hooker looks to have the third quarterback position in his grasp heading into the regular season.

Amon-Ra St. Brown - No preseason actionSt. Brown did not play in Saturday's 24-17 preseason win over the Steelers.

ImpactThe Lions didn't play the majority of their starters this preseason and St. Brown was among them. He'll now turn his focus to a Week 1 matchup against the Rams and should remain the top pass-catching option in the offense after topping 145 targets in each of the last two seasons.
