AVONTE MADDOX NEWS

Active in Week 9 Maddox (hamstring) is active for Sunday's game against the Vikings.

Impact Maddox has missed the Lions' last two games prior to the Week 8 bye, and his return is invaluable for a Lions defense that is thin at defensive back with injuries to key players such as Kerby Joseph, Erick Hallett, Daniel Thomas, and D.J. Reed. The backup slot corner will likely have utility both defensively and on special teams for Sunday's divisional showdown with the Vikings.

Dealing with hamstring injury Maddox is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Chiefs due to a hamstring injury, Justin Rogers of DetroitFootball.net reports.

Impact Maddox popped up on Thursday's practice report as a limited participant due to a hamstring injury, which was severe enough for him to not practice Friday. That's a trend in the wrong direction for the veteran corner, but his official status may not be known until approximately 90 minutes prior to Sunday's 8:20 p.m. ET kickoff. Maddox has provided rotational help in the secondary while also contributing on special teams, but his absence would hurt a Lions secondary that is already without Terrion Arnold (shoulder) and could be missing Brian Branch (ankle) and Kerby Joseph (knee).
