Khalil Dorsey - NFL News, Rumors, & Updates

Activated from IR, playing Week 12 The Lions activated Dorsey (wrist) from injured reserve Saturday, and he no longer carries an injury designation into Sunday's game against the Giants.

Impact Dorsey has officially been cleared to return from a six-game absence due to a wrist injury. He logged four solo tackles over four regular-season games prior to his injury while mostly serving on special teams.

Chance to return Week 12 Dorsey (wrist) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Giants, Dave Birkett of the Detroit Free Press reports.

Impact Dorsey's 21-day practice window to return from injured reserve opened Wednesday, and he ended the week with back-to-back full practices. He would have to be activated from IR in order to play Sunday; if not, then his next opportunity to play is Thursday against the Packers. Dorsey has missed the Lions' last six games while on IR due to a wrist injury.

Designated to return from IR Dorsey (wrist) had his 21-day practice window opened Thursday, Benjamin Raven of mlive.com reports.

Impact Dorsey hurt his wrist Week 4 against Cleveland and subsequently landed on IR. He was designated to return Thursday and logged a full session during his first day back at practice. That gives Dorsey a chance of returning for Sunday's game against the Giants, though he'd need to first be activated by the Lions.

Shifts to IR Dorsey (concussion) was placed on injured reserve Wednesday.

Impact The corner from Northern Arizona will now be forced to miss at least the Lions' next four games after sustaining a concussion in the Week 5 win over the Bengals. Prior to his injury, Dorsey played 74 total snaps (55 on special teams, 19 on defense) and recorded four total tackles across four contests. With Dorsey, Terrion Arnold (shoulder), D.J. Reed (hamstring) and Ennis Rakestraw (shoulder) all out for the Week 6 matchup against the Chiefs, Detroit's cornerback room currently consists of just Amik Robertson, Avonte Maddox and Rock Ya-Sin.

Expected to miss some time Coach Dan Campbell said Monday that Dorsey (concussion) will be out "for a while," Justin Rogers of DetroitFootball.net reports.

Impact Dorsey logged just 19 defensive snaps across the first four games of the season before missing Sunday's win over the Bengals. With all of the injuries in the Lions' secondary, Dorsey likely would have been looking at an increased role on defense, but he'll join Terrion Arnold (shoulder) and D.J. Reed (hamstring, IR) on the shelf.
