Daily DLP: Lions Heading to Germany, Injury Updates - Detroit Lions Podcast

The Detroit Lions Podcast — Thu, 12 Nov 2026 23:00:00 GMT

Detroit ruled out Detroit Lions safety Kerby Joseph for Munich and left him stateside to ramp back up, and he must be activated by next Wednesday or he is lost for the season. Quarterback Jared Goff and defensive back Brian Branch practiced fully on Thursday, while Detroit Lions wide receiver Amon-Ra St. Brown was limited with a rib injury, shaping how the Detroit Lions attack the New England Patriots.

Who is in and who is out for Munich against the Patriots?

Kirby Joseph and Detroit Lions offensive lineman Cade Mays did not travel, so they will not play in Munich. As Jeff Risdon noted, Dan Campbell had already said Kirby Joseph would miss this game. Jared Goff returned as a full participant after a chest issue, Brian Branch was full with a hip issue, and Amon-Ra St. Brown was limited with a rib injury.

Detroit Lions running back Jacob Saylors was full, and Detroit Lions edge rusher DJ Wonnum cleared the concussion protocol with two straight full practices. Jeff Risdon emphasized that Amon-Ra St. Brown’s rib limits breathing and stamina inside a game, and the Patriots tend to control the middle of the field, which raises real usage questions even if his pain tolerance is elite.

What is Kirby Joseph’s activation timeline and what does it mean?

Kirby Joseph practiced as a full participant Thursday before the team flew out, and Detroit must activate him by next Wednesday or lose him for the season. As Jeff Risdon explained, the team can activate him without playing him immediately, and with two games in five days after Munich, easing him back is on the table.

Detroit Lions head coach Dan Campbell wants to avoid getting ahead of the process, but Jeff Risdon expressed hope because Kirby Joseph is a difference maker. Detroit Lions safety Andre Cisco was acquired to fill similar duties on the back end, but Jeff noted Kirby Joseph’s free-spirited energy is unique and infectious for the defense.

How should Detroit’s offense attack New England’s defense?

Expect Detroit to challenge outside and down the field while respecting New England’s strength in the middle. Jeff Risdon said the Patriots squeeze the interior windows, so verticals to outside receivers like Detroit Lions wide receiver Isaac TeSlaa are in play, especially if Amon-Ra St. Brown’s rib limits his typical high-volume inside work.

With Jared Goff back to full practice, the pass game plan expands, but Jeff flagged emerging young Patriots edge rushers and interior toughness. Winning isolated perimeter shots and staying ahead of the sticks will keep New England out of their pressure and disguise menu.

Is the offensive line ready for New England’s games and stunts?

Yes, the group is trending strong, and the data backs it up. As Jeff Risdon relayed from a Fox graphic, Detroit ranks No. 1 in pass protection pressure rate allowed among NFL offensive lines. Detroit Lions right guard Tate Ratledge ranks No. 1 at his spot by pressure rate allowed, and rookie Detroit Lions tackle Blake Miller checked in at No. 22 despite coming off his worst game.

New England will test communication with movement and gimmicks, so technique and cohesion matter as much as talent. Detroit Lions tackle Penei Sewell anchors the edges, and if the interior avoids leakage, the Lions can unlock deeper developing concepts that punish single coverage outside. Jeff noted that getting another interior option back in the mix would help, and that this week will not be easy, but the baseline pass protection is strong.

Trade-wise, Jeff reiterated you cannot buy what is not for sale. He cited linebacker Daiyan Henley’s nixed deal after a failed physical as an example of how medicals and market realities limited movement leaguewide.

STUNNED: New England Patriots’ Season at a CROSSROADS as Detroit Lions CHASE Victory Abroad.

Locked On Podcast Network — Thu, 12 Nov 2026 20:49:27 GMT

Crossover Thursday. Detroit Lions look to extend their winning streak as they clash with the unpredictable New England Patriots in Munich, Germany. Can Jared Goff and Jahmyr Gibbs ignite the Lions’ high-powered offense against a Patriots defense reeling from recent coverage breakdowns and key injuries? Aidan Hutchinson’s battle against New England’s offensive tackles, Sam LaPorta’s breakout potential, and the impact of post-trade deadline roster decisions take center stage in this transatlantic showdown.

Key discussion points with Matt Dery and Nick Cattles include the Lions’ confidence in their current roster, the Patriots’ struggles with turnovers and secondary consistency, and how Drake Maye’s fluctuating performances could shape the game. The hosts break down run game matchups, red-zone strategies, and which team’s playmakers—Amon-Ra St. Brown, Christian Gonzalez, or AJ Brown—will emerge as difference-makers. With both teams facing critical questions, will desperation fuel a Patriots bounce-back, or are the Lions primed for another statement win? #firstlisten

ALL-IN: Detroit Lions Stand Pat at Deadline, Dan Campbell and Brad Holmes Double Down on BELIEF

Locked On Podcast Network — Wed, 11 Nov 2026 22:56:03 GMT

Detroit Lions stand pat at the NFL trade deadline—was it the right move for a team chasing the NFC North crown? Head coach Dan Campbell confidently doubles down on “loving our guys,” echoing Brad Holmes’s philosophy as Detroit resists the urge to shake up its roster while division rivals like the Minnesota Vikings add Kirk Cousins and the Bears nab Jeffrey Simmons. The episode zeroes in on roster strategy, defensive depth, and how Christian Mahogany’s return at left guard could fortify the Lions’ offense amid injury concerns for Cade Mays and DJ Reed.

Can Detroit’s faith in its current lineup propel them past a desperate New England Patriots squad in Munich? NFL insider Mike Sando joins to dissect Detroit’s chances, debate the division’s true pecking order, and analyze Drake Maye’s turbulent season under center for the Patriots. With playoff ambitions on the line, every lineup and coaching decision carries extra weight—are the Lions built to finish strong? #FIRSTLISTEN
