After a week with a crowded injury report, the Detroit Lions did not rule any players out for the Week 6 matchup with the Cincinnati Bengals. But four players, including the top two running backs, are questionable for Sunday’s game at Ford Field.
Both D’Andre Swift (groin) and Jamaal Williams (hip) are officially questionable for the Week 6 game. They were both limited participants in Friday’s practice in Allen Park. Williams did not practice on Thursday with an illness designation in addition to the hip. Swift has been designated as questionable for every week but has not missed a game or appeared limited with the ongoing groin injury.
Tight end T.J. Hockenson (knee) and outside linebacker Trey Flowers (knee) are also questionable. Both were limited participants all week.
Left guard Jonah Jackson and cornerback Amani Oruwariye carry no injury designation for the game. Both were full participants on Friday after being limited earlier in the week.
Corey Ballentine was placed on IR on Friday, which removes him from the report. Ballentine did not practice on either Wednesday or Thursday with a hamstring issue.
Bengals
Guard D’Ante Smith is the only Bengals player ruled out. Smith will miss the game with a knee injury. He is expected to go on injured reserve.
Three players are questionable, including offensive guard Jackson Carman. He gets a non-injury-related designation after being activated from the reserve/COVID-19 list late this week. Carman is the projected starter at right guard. Top RB Joe Mixon (ankle) and WR Mike Thomas (ankle) are also questionable.
