In light of all the injuries from Week 3, the final Lions’ injury report for Week 4 is very positive.
The injury report for the Detroit Lions following their Week 3 victory against the Arizona Cardinals was extensive, with center Frank Ragnow being a significant late addition. This week, defensive end Marcus Davenport and linebacker Derrick Barnes were placed on IR.
Head coach Dan Campbell announced on Thursday that Ragnow would not play in Week 4 against the Seattle Seahawks due to a partially torn pectoral muscle. In contrast, tight end Sam LaPorta received a more positive update on Saturday.
Here’s the final Week 4 injury report for the Lions:
– **C Frank Ragnow (pectoral)** – Out
– **CB Ennis Rakestraw (hamstring)** – Questionable
– **TE Sam LaPorta (ankle)** – No designation
– **S Brian Branch (concussion)** – No designation
– **DT Alim McNeill (shoulder)** – No designation
– **DT Levi Onwuzurike (knee)** – No designation
– **OT Dan Skipper (ribs)** – No designation
– **LS Hogan Hatten (shoulder)** – No designation
Ragnow has already been ruled out for Monday night’s game. Rakestraw returned to full practice on Saturday after being limited earlier in the week. Although he has missed the last two games, he seems to be trending positively for Monday.
Ifeatu Melifonwu has been placed on IR, a decision that Campbell had been uncertain about a week ago. The fourth-year safety has been sidelined with an ankle/Achilles injury since training camp and will be out for at least four more games.
The rest of the players, including LaPorta, Branch, and McNeill, are cleared for Monday night. Linebacker Alex Anzalone, who missed Week 3 due to a concussion, has been removed from the injury report and will return.
Hatten was a late addition but participated fully on Saturday and has no injury designation for Monday night.
Now, for the final Week 4 injury report for the Seahawks, they will be without four key players on their defensive front. Running back Kenneth Walker, however, has no injury designation and will play after missing the previous two games due to an oblique injury.
– **DT Leonard Williams (ribs)** – Out
– **OLB Boye Mafe (knee)** – Out
– **DT Byron Murphy II (hamstring)** – Out
– **OLB Uchenna Nwosu (knee)** – Out
– **LB Jerome Baker (hamstring)** – Questionable
