Da’Shawn Hand – Noteworthy – Injury
DT Da’Shawn Hand (knee) was also carted off Sunday. He suffered a Grade 2 MCL sprain. The amount of games he will miss is uncertain.
Ezekiel Ansah – Noteworthy – Injury
DE Ziggy Ansah (shoulder) reportedly is close to going on injured reserve. He reinjured his shoulder Sunday and was carted off showing a tearful response.
Kerryon Johnson – Noteworthy – Injury
RB Kerryon Johnson (shoulder) did not play for the third straight week and he is questionable for next week against Buffalo. The possibility exists that Johnson will not play again this season.
Matt Prater – Noteworthy
PK Matt Prater made his 26th straight kicking opportunity Sunday (14 field goals and 12 extra points) after missing in Week 5 against Green Bay. His five points in Sunday’s win over Arizona lifted Prater above Doak Walker into fifth on the Lions’ career list with 537 points. Prater trails Barry Sanders by just 117 points for third place, an attainable goal by the end of the 2019 season. He has 97 points through 13 games in 2018.
Matthew Stafford – Noteworthy
QB Matthew Stafford, despite entering the game with a back injury that limited him all week in practice, was able to play the entire game Sunday. The Lions appeared to alter their game plan to protect Stafford, leaning on the run game and opting for quick passes to avoid hits.
