Detroit’s Week 2 injury report signals a potential shift on the offensive line, with Taylor Decker listed as questionable after missing three practices. If Decker can’t go, Giovanni Manu stands ready to step in at left tackle, providing a familiar continuity on the line. Trevor Nowaske is OUT, Sione Vaki is doubtful, and Kerby Joseph is questionable, narrowing the Lions’ personnel options for the Bears game.

Special teams coordinator Dave Fipp praised Vaki’s versatility—blend of power, speed and coverage ability—that could keep him on the field in multiple roles if healthy. Coach Dan Campbell stressed focusing on self-improvement and responding to adversity, not worrying about division foes, as Detroit prepares for a pivotal Week 2 showdown with Chicago.

The situation around the line and backfield will shape Detroit’s approach vs. the Bears, with Manu’s readiness a looming storyline and Vaki’s status a potential swing factor in both special teams and situational offense.

Jayden Reed fractured his collarbone and will land on injured reserve, with surgery likely Tuesday and a hoped-for November return. Green Bay’s offense endured the loss as Reed’s early-season rhythm was already building after a Week 1 showing. In Reed’s absence, Green Bay leaned on Romeo Doubs and a deeper group that includes Dontayvion Wicks and rookie receivers Matthew Golden and Savion Williams, while tight ends Tucker Kraft and Luke Musgrave combined for a big role. Kraft’s six-catch, 124-yard day with a TD highlighted the depth of the offense as Green Bay moved to 2-0, a rare start that underscores Love’s growing command of the system and the resilience of a receiver room that can weather Reed’s absence.
