Fantasy Impact: Peko suffered a pectoral injury in Sunday's win over the Cowboys. It's a full tear and he’s likely to undergo season-ending surgery. The Lions defense takes a big hit losing Peko and Aidan Hutchinson.

Fantasy Impact: Ragnow is set to return after he was sidelined last Monday against the Seahawks. He returns for a big game against Dallas.


Lions DB Brian Branch (concussion) will miss Monday night's matchup against the Seahawks. A bit of a surprise here as he was taken off the injury report on Friday. (Source: Detroit Lions on Twitter)

Fantasy Impact: Branch was a full participant in both Friday and Saturday's practices, but it seems as if the team is playing it safe here by resting him in this one. A significant loss here for Detroit.


Dan Skipper (ribs) was back and practicing in full on Friday. (Source: Detroit Lions)

Fantasy Impact: Skipper missed Thursday's practice due to an injury to his ribs, but his absence was only precautionary and he was back and participating in full on Friday. He should be good to go for Monday's game against the Seahawks.


Alim McNeill was at practice on Thursday. (Source: Colton Pouncy on Twitter)

Fantasy Impact: McNeill had been dealing with a shoulder injury. He'll have an extra day to practice this week with the Lions playing on Monday.


Detroit Lions edge rusher Marcus Davenport is undergoing testing on his elbow to learn the severity of the injury with the fear that it could be a season-ender. (Source: Ian Rapoport on Twitter)

Fantasy Impact: After a solid Lions debut with six pressures and a sack, Davenport missed Week 2 with a groin injury; and though he returned in Week 3, he clearly looked hampered even before his elbow injury, logging just a single pressure. If Davenport misses time, it will be a tough hit to Detroit, which has been looking for a consistent pass-rushing presence opposite of Aidan Hutchinson (Davenport has a 70+ defensive PFF grade in every season except 2023). He is also playing on a one-year contract.
