Quintez Cephus - Likely done for season Lions head coach Dan Campbell confirmed Monday that Cephus will likely miss the rest of the season after the receiver sustained a broken collarbone in Sunday's 19-17 loss to the Vi...
Impact Per Tom Pelissero of NFL Network, Cephus is slated to undergo surgery to address the injury, which typically entails a three-month recovery. While that timeline theoretically gives Cephus a chance to make it back for Week 18 in early January, the 0-5 Lions aren't expected to be in playoff contention and most likely won't be looking to activate the second-year wideout. Through five games, Cephus had been one of the better producers in a weak Detroit pass-catching group, notching 15 receptions for 204 yards and two touchdowns on 22 targets.

Tyrell Williams - Week 6 return possible Lions head coach Dan Campbell said Williams (concussion) will undergo an evaluation Tuesday with the hope that he'll be cleared to return to practice this week, Justin Rogers of Th...
Impact Williams has been sidelined since Week 1 and resided on injured reserve for the past three games, making him eligible to rejoin Detroit for practice this week. His upcoming evaluation should provide the Lions with a better sense of where he stands in his recovery from his concussion, but if Williams gets the green light to practice fully at some point Wednesday through Friday, he could be active for Sunday's game against the Bengals. An already shallow Lions wideout corps has sorely missed Williams, who entered the season as the team's No. 1 receiver.

Greg Joseph - Makes 54-yard game winner Joseph converted a 54-yard field goal as time expired to give Minnesota a win over Detroit on Sunday. He made field goals from 38, 38, 55 and 54 yards, but missed from 49 yards, an...
Impact While Joseph missed a potential game-winning 37-yard field goal as time expired in a loss to Arizona, he's also converted long field goals at the buzzer against Detroit and Cincinnati. As a result, he should have a decent hold on the job despite head coach Mike Zimmer's fickle ways with kickers.

D.J. Wonnum - Gets sack in reserve role Wonnum had a sack, two QB hits and three total tackles despite moving from a starting role to coming off the bench in Sunday's in over Detroit.
Impact Everson Griffen moved into the starting role at defensive end opposite Danielle Hunter. Wonnum still played on 40 of the defense's 68 snaps, about his usual rate, and was still productive. The Vikings will likely rotate both players to keep them fresh.
