Lions Week 14 Injury Update: Kerby Joseph and Graham Glasgow Return to Practice

Detroit, MI · The Detroit Lions (7–5) and Dallas Cowboys (6–5–1) have released their initial Week 14 injury reports as they prepare for a highly anticipated Thursday night NFC matchup. Because the game falls on a short week, Detroit issued its first report on Monday and will finalize game statuses on Wednesday.

Below is a full breakdown of the latest injury developments.

Injured List Updates

TE Shane Zylstra (ankle, IR) — Injury evaluation window opened
LT Giovanni Manu (knee, IR)
LG Christian Mahogany (knee, IR)


EDGE Josh Paschal (back, NFI) — Evaluation window expired, season officially over
LB Zach Cunningham (hamstring, IR)

Zylstra, who has missed most of the season with an ankle injury, returned to practice and could be a key reinforcement for a tight end room thinned by injuries.

Paschal’s progress stalled last week, and with his 21-day window expiring, the Lions elected to keep him on NFI for the rest of the year. With the edge rusher in a contract season, his offseason future remains uncertain.

Did Not Practice

WR Amon-Ra St. Brown (ankle)
WR Kalif Raymond (ankle)
TE Brock Wright (neck)
CB Terrion Arnold (shoulder) — New development

St. Brown suffered a low ankle sprain in Week 13. While the MRI showed no structural damage, the Lions are expected to be cautious with their star receiver. A Week 14 return remains unclear.

Raymond’s status remains a mystery, as coach Dan Campbell has not yet provided an update.

Wright’s injury was clarified this week as a trachea issue involving fractured cartilage — a rare and potentially long-term setback.

Arnold, who cleared concussion protocol last week, appeared on the report with a shoulder injury after not showing issues on game day.

Limited Practice

TE Shane Zylstra (ankle)


LT Taylor Decker (shoulder)
C Graham Glasgow (knee) — Upgraded from DNP
S Brian Branch (toe/ankle)
S Kerby Joseph (knee) — Upgraded from DNP

Vaki continues to battle through injuries, with the thumb issue limiting special teams availability.

Decker remains on his usual rotation schedule between practice and rest.

Glasgow’s return is a positive sign after missing time with a knee issue.

Branch has been playing through lingering foot and ankle concerns for weeks, with no major setback reported.

Joseph returned to practice for the first time after missing six straight games, a major step toward stabilizing Detroit’s secondary.

Removed From Injury Report

RB Jacob Saylors (back/knee)
WR Isaac TeSlaa (hand)


RT Penei Sewell (ankle)
RG Tate Ratledge (knee)
G Miles Frazier (knee)
EDGE Marcus Davenport (shoulder)

Sewell and Ratledge have been dealing with minor injuries but are now fully cleared.

TeSlaa, who has played through multiple issues, may see an expanded role with St. Brown and Raymond uncertain.

Frazier was activated from PUP but inactive last week. His upward trend continues.

Davenport returned from IR last week and immediately reclaimed a starting role. With Detroit seeking more pass-rush production, his presence is critical.

Final Thoughts

The Lions enter Week 14 with both promising returns and concerning absences. The potential availability of Kerby Joseph and Graham Glasgow provides stability, but injuries to key playmakers — especially Amon-Ra St. Brown and Kalif Raymond — create uncertainty just days before their showdown with Dallas.

The stakes are high, the week is short, and every healthy body matters as Detroit pushes toward the NFC playoff race.
