The Detroit Lions are inching closer to their Week 5 road game against the Cincinnati Bengals, and Thursday’s injury report provided a clearer look at where things stand. Kickoff is set for 4:25 p.m. ET Sunday in Cincinnati.
Linebacker Zach Cunningham (hamstring), tackle Taylor Decker (shoulder), safety Kerby Joseph (knee), and running back Sione Vaki (groin) all remained non-participants for the second straight day. Their statuses will be key to monitor heading into Friday.
On a more encouraging note, defensive tackle Alim McNeill (knee) was once again limited, while cornerback Terrion Arnold (shoulder) upgraded to a full participant after being limited Wednesday. Cornerback Khalil Dorsey (concussion) also returned as a full participant, a positive sign for a secondary hit by injuries last week.
