ZACH CUNNINGHAM NEWS

Heading to IR Detroit placed Cunningham (hamstring) on its injured reserve list Wednesday, Jacob Richman of mlive.com reports.

Impact Cunningham returned to action in Week 7 versus the Buccaneers after a three-game absence due to a hamstring issue, but he aggravated the injury during that contest, and now he'll have to miss at least the next four games too. Most of his snaps this year have come on special teams, so the Lions will have to try to find a way to replace his production in that phase in the meantime.

Aggravates hamstring issue Cunningham is questionable to return to Monday's game against the Buccaneers due to a hamstring injury, Justin Rogers of DetroitFootball.net reports.

Impact Cunningham returned from a three-game absence caused by a hamstring injury for Monday's game but has seemingly aggravated the issue. That would suggest he's unlikely to return, though he hasn't officially been ruled out.

Past hamstring injury Cunningham (hamstring) was a full participant in Thursday's practice.

Impact Cunningham missed the Lions' last three games due to a hamstring injury. His ability to practice in full Thursday indicates that he is past the issue and on track to play against the Buccaneers on Monday. The veteran linebacker mostly served on special teams prior to his injury and has six tackles (four solo) through three regular-season games.

Ruled out Week 6 Cunningham (hamstring) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against Kansas City, Justin Rogers of DetroitFootball.net reports.

Impact Cunningham will miss a third consecutive game due to a hamstring injury he sustained during practice leading up to the Lions' Week 4 clash against the Browns. He wasn't able to practice this past week, so he'll aim to return to the field in at least a limited capacity ahead of the Lions' Week 7 home tilt against the Buccaneers on Monday, Oct. 20.

Out again for Week 5 Cunningham (hamstring) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Bengals.

No go for Week 4 Cunningham (hamstring) has been ruled out for Sunday's contest against the Browns, Eric Woodyard of ESPN.com reports.

Going to Motor City Detroit signed Cunningham on Tuesday, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.

Impact Cunningham has appeared in the regular season for four different NFL teams, and most recently, he suited up for seven games with Denver in 2024. For the first time in his career though, he was used more frequently on special teams than on defense. He'll probably only play a depth role for the Lions in 2025.

Signed to Denver's active roster The Broncos signed Cunningham off the practice squad to the active roster Wednesday, Eric DiLalla of the team's official site reports.

Impact Cunningham played in 13 regular-season games for the Eagles in 2023 and posted 85 tackles (54 solo), four pass defenses and one fumble recovery, but he wasn't with a team during training camp. He eventually caught on with the Broncos on the practice squad in late September to provide depth at inside linebacker after Alex Singleton tore his ACL in Week 3 against the Buccaneers. Cunningham has been elevated by the Broncos for the last three games, and over his last two outings he logged three tackles (one solo) while playing 21 snaps (13 on defense, eight on special teams). Now that he's on the 53-man roster, Cunningham will continue to serve as a rotational inside linebacker behind starters Justin Strnad and Cody Barton.

Cunningham appeared in 13 regular-season games with the Eagles last season, recording 85 total tackles and four passes defended. He could be elevated to Denver's active roster in the near future to serve as a rotational inside linebacker.

Finishes with 85 tackles Cunningham ended the year with 85 tackles (54 solo) and a pair of fumble recoveries in 13 regular-season games.

Impact Hamstring and knee issues cost Cunningham four of the final six weeks of the season, but he returned for Week 18 and the playoffs, so he should be good to go for next season. He's still capable of putting up a high tackle total, though his 85 stops paled in comparison from his league-leading 164 from 2020.

Questionable for Sunday Cunningham (knee) is listed as questionable ahead of Sunday's game against the Cardinals.

Impact The 29-year-old linebacker has missed Philadelphia's last two games with this knee issue, but after a week of limited practice sessions, he's got a shot to suit up in Week 17. If Cunningham were to miss Sunday's contest, Nolan Smith would likely see increased work in the Eagles' linebacker corps.

Missing Week 16 Cunningham (knee) has been ruled out ahead of Monday's game against the Giants.

Impact Head coach Nick Sirianni told reporters that Cunningham was "fighting like crazy" to play in Philadelphia's Christmas day affair, but after a DNP at Saturday's practice, it now seems as if the 29-year-old linebacker won't be suiting up, per Martin Frank of The Delaware News Journal. Shaquille Leonard is expected to see even more snaps in the Eagles' linebacker corps in Cunningham's stead.

No update yet Cunningham underwent an MRI on his hamstring Monday, but head coach Nick Sirianni has no update on his status for the week ahead, Jeff McLane of The Philadelphia Inquirer reports.

Impact Cunningham exited Sunday's win over the Bills with the injury and was unable to return. His potential absence moving forward for any length of time would certainly be a blow to the Eagles' linebacker corps, although it's still not clear how likely him missing time may be. His practice status in the days ahead should shed more light on his potential to suit up Week 13 against the 49ers.
