The Detroit Lions have declared their injury designations for their Week 8 matchup with the Philadelphia Eagles and things appear to be trending up on the injury front.
Before we get to the players on the active roster, let’s take a quick look at the players who are designated to return from injured reserve.
Returned to practice, Still on IR
- LT Taylor Decker (finger) — Day 17 of the 21-day evaluation period
- DL Kevin Strong (thigh) — Day 17 of the 21-day evaluation period
- DL Da’Shawn Hand (groin) — Day 10 of the 21-day evaluation period
The Lions have two open spots on their roster, and if a player from this group is going to take one of them, it’ll likely be Da’Shawn Hand.
