Detroit Lions head coach Dan Campbell provided injury updates on six players following the team's Week 8 win against the Minnesota Vikings. Rookie linebacker Jimmy Rolder suffered a significant hamstring injury that may require surgery and will sideline him for the rest of the season. Meanwhile, defensive players Brian Branch and D.J. Wonnum have entered the NFL's concussion protocol after exiting Sunday's game.

Several other Lions are dealing with injuries ahead of Week 9 preparations. Center Cade Mays reportedly suffered a low ankle sprain, while cornerback D.J. Reed is managing a hip injury and running back Jacobs Saylors is handling a neck issue. Coach Campbell stated that Mays, Reed, and Saylors are not expected to practice on Wednesday as they begin recovery.
