The Detroit Lions (6-2) released their Thursday injury report ahead of Sunday morning's game against the New England Patriots (5-4) from FC Bayern Munich Stadium in Munich, Germany.
The Lions ruled safety Kerby Joseph, center Cade Mays, and cornerback D.J. Reed out of the contest against the Patriots. That trio isn't traveling to Munich, and are therefore listed as out. However, Joseph was also listed as a full participant for the first time since opening his 21-day practice window on Oct. 28.
Joseph needs to be placed on the active roster by Nov. 18 by 4 p.m. ET or he will remain on the physically unable to perform list for the remainder of the year and his 2026 season will officially be over.
