Staying on IR

Impact
Manu has been on injured reserve since mid-October and has been practicing for two weeks. He won't be able to return after appearing in only four games in his rookie season.

Officially done for 2025
Manu (knee) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Bears, Nolan Bianchi of The Detroit News reports.
Impact
Despite being designated to return from injured reserve Dec. 18, Manu will end up sitting out of Sunday's regular-season finale and will end the year on IR. The second-year pro appeared in four regular-season games and started at left tackle against the Bengals in Week 5 before landing on IR in mid-October due to a knee injury.

Won't return Week 17
Manu (knee) has been ruled out for Thursday's game against the Vikings.
Impact
Manu was designated to return from injured reserve Dec. 18, but he's not quite ready to return from a knee injury that has sidelined him since mid-October. Manu's next opportunity to play is Week 18 against the Bears.

Designated to return to practice
The Lions have designated Manu (knee) to return from injured reserve.
Impact
Manu landed on IR in mid-October due to a knee injury. He's been able to log a pair of limited practices to begin this week, but it's unclear if he'll be activated in time for Detroit's matchup against Pittsburgh on Sunday. When (and if) Manu returns to action, he'll likely work in a rotational role along the offensive line.

Lands on IR with knee injury
The Lions placed Manu (knee) on injured reserve Saturday.
Impact
Manu popped up on Thursday's practice report due to a knee injury and was unable to practice Friday. The injury appears severe enough for him to go on IR, and the 2024 fourth-rounder will be forced to miss at least the next four games, making Week 11 against the Eagles on Sunday, Nov. 16 the earliest he can return. With Manu and Taylor Decker (shoulder) both out, Dan Skipper is in line to start at left tackle against Kansas City on Sunday.
