Murray returns from ankle injury, can't rally Cardinals Arizona quarterback Kyler Murray sat out most of the first three quarters with an ankle injury and when he finally returned, wasn’t able to rally the Cardinals into the playoffs

Cousins throws 3 TDs, Vikings end with 37-35 win over Lions Kirk Cousins threw for 405 yards and three touchdowns, lifting the Minnesota Vikings to a 37-35 win over the Detroit Lions a matchup of teams finishing disappointing seasons
JANUARY 3 • ASSOCIATED PRESS
Forced out of finale Vaitai will not return to Sunday's game against the Vikings after having been evaluated for a head injury, Kyle Meinke of MLive.com reports.
Impact The Lions evaluated Vaitai for a concussion before ruling him out to return Week 17. Given that Vaitai previously sustained a concussion Week 15 against Tennessee, Detroit will no doubt opt to take a cautious approach to his health.
JANUARY 3 • ROTOWIRE
All clear for Week 16 Vaitai (concussion) is active for Saturday's game against the Buccaneers.
Impact Vaitai sustained a concussion during last Sunday's loss to Tennessee, exiting the contest after fielding 33 offensive snaps. It's been an injury-plagued 2020 season for the first-year Lion, with a Week 16 appearance marking his ninth of the campaign. Prior to the concussion, Vaitai's main barrier to availability had been a lingering foot injury.

Suffers concussion Vaitai won't return to Sunday's game against the Titans due to a concussion.
Impact Vaitai was activated from injured reserve Saturday but sustained a concussion in his first game back on the field. Matt Nelson has stepped in at right tackle in his absence.
DECEMBER 20, 2020 • ROTOWIRE
Returning for Week 15 Vaitai (foot) was activated from injured reserve Saturday.
Impact The 27-year-old was designated to return from injured reserve earlier this week, and he's back on the active roster after a couple days of practice. Vaitai is likely to start at right tackle with Tyrell Crosby (ankle) unavailable.
DECEMBER 19, 2020 • ROTOWIRE
Trending in right direction The Lions designated Vaitai (foot) to return from injured reserve Wednesday, Dave Birkett of the Detroit Free Press reports.
Impact Vaitai has resided on IR since Nov. 25 with the lingering foot issue, as the team elected to shut down the TCU product. The Lions will have 21 days to activate Vaitai, and he could return as early as Sunday against the Titans. Vaitai will likely assume a starting role at either right guard or right tackle once he's officially activated.

Golladay, Amendola out again for Lions; Swift questionable Detroit Lions receivers Kenny Golladay and Danny Amendola have been ruled out for Thursday’s game against Houston
NOVEMBER 25, 2020 • ASSOCIATED PRESS
Will miss at least three weeks The Lions placed Vaitai (foot) on injured reserve Wednesday.
Impact Vaitai's foot injury dates back to the beginning of the season. He's started in every game that he's been active for this year, but he exited early in four of the past five contests because of this foot issue. The Lions have opted to shut him down for at least three weeks in hopes he can return at 100 percent. The 27-year-old guard, who signed a five-year, $50 million contract in March, is eligible to return in Week 15.
NOVEMBER 25, 2020 • ROTOWIRE
Good to go Sunday Vaitai (foot) is active for Sunday's game against the Panthers.
Impact Vaitai was considered questionable after practicing as a limited participant all week, but he's cleared for Sunday after sitting out Week 10. The 27-year-old should reclaim his starting role at right guard for Detroit.

Steelers' Roethlisberger active after virus-related absence The unbeaten Pittsburgh Steelers wound up relatively healthy for their game against the AFC North rival Cincinnati Bengals following a brush with the novel coronavirus
NOVEMBER 15, 2020 • ASSOCIATED PRESS
Can't go against Washington Vaitai (foot) is listed as inactive heading into Sunday afternoon's matchup against Washington.
Impact Vaitai suffered an in-game injury during last Sunday's 34-20 loss to Minnesota, and he seemingly has not shown enough progression to team trainers to earn the nod for Week 10. Joe Dahl, who sat out Week 9 against the Vikings because of a back issue, will start in place of Vaitai at right guard against a Washington front that ranks No. 3 in the NFL with 3.4 sacks per game this season.
NOVEMBER 15, 2020 • ROTOWIRE
Return labelled questionable Vaitai (foot) has been deemed questionable to return to Sunday's matchup against Minnesota.
Impact Vaitai has dealt with injury issues throughout his debut season with the Lions, after signing a five-year, $45-million deal to join the team in March. The 27-year-old had fielded more than 75 percent of Detroit's offensive snaps in just three of seven outings entering Sunday, and injury woes have presented themselves once again midgame. Jonah Jackson would plug in at right guard if Vaitai were unavailable to return Sunday.

Halapoulivaati Vaitai active for Lions; Austin Bryant in line to make season debut There were no real surprises with the Lions' inactive list for Sunday's game against the Vikings.
NOVEMBER 8, 2020 • DETROITNEWS.COM
Good to go Sunday Vaitai (foot) is active for Sunday's game versus the Vikings.
Impact Vaitai left early in last week's loss to the Colts, but he's been cleared for Sunday's divisional tilt. The fifth-year player out of TCU is slated to start at right guard once again.

Lions took step backward in listless loss to Colts Two wins brought Matt Patricia and the Detroit Lions a bit of a reprieve
NOVEMBER 2, 2020 • ASSOCIATED PRESS
Doesn't finish Sunday's game Vaitai suffered a foot injury during Sunday's loss to the Colts.
Impact Vaitai left the game to be re-taped a few times Sunday, and when the game got out of hand, he was ultimately shut down. Given his ability to play through the injury already, Vaitai stands a good chance to play next week against the Vikings, although he'll likely be on the injury report when practices restart Wednesday.

Rivers' 3 TDs in 2nd quarter help Colts beat Lions 41-21 Philip Rivers threw three touchdown passes in the second quarter to give the Indianapolis Colts a double-digit lead and they beat the Detroit Lions 41-21 on Sunday
NOVEMBER 1, 2020 • ASSOCIATED PRESS
Back at practice Vaitai (cramps) was absent from Wednesday's injury report.
Impact Both Vaitai and Tyrell Crosby dealt with cramps during Sunday's win over the Jaguars in the scorching Florida heat, but both players were absent from the injury report. Now healthy, expect Vaitai to assume his usual starting role at right guard for Sunday's game against Atlanta.
OCTOBER 21, 2020 • ROTOWIRE
Exits contest Sunday Vaitai was forced out of Sunday's game against the Jaguars due to dehydration.
Impact Vaitai becomes the second Lion offensive lineman to deal with dehydration in the Florida head, as Tyrell Crosby was forced out of the game as well. With two starters sidelined, look for Jonah Jackson to take over at right guard, and Matt Nelson to shift to right tackle.
