DJ Reader
DT - Detroit Lions
Week 14 Outlook
Availability
DJ Reader (back) is questionable for Week 7 for the Detroit Lions against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.
Fantasy Impact
Reader will look to pass through pregame activities without any setbacks Monday night in hopes of returning to the field for a Detroit defensive front that will need to offset significant absences in the secondary against the Buccaneers Monday night.
DJ Reader returned to practice on Friday.
Fantasy Impact
Reader had opened the week missing practice. He'll have a chance to be good to go for Monday's game against the Bucs.
Lions coach Dan Campbell said DJ Reader could return to practice on Thursday.
Fantasy Impact
Reader was sidelined last week for Detroit. Campbell said he and Levi Onwuzurike could return to practice on Thursday.
DJ Reader (shoulder) has been ruled out for Week 14 for the Detroit Lions against the Green Bay Packers according to Tim Twentyman.
Fantasy Impact
Reader is considered day-to-day with the shoulder injury suffered in the Week 13 win over the Chicago Bears on Thanksgiving, joining a plethora of defensive players out of the Week 14 contest against the Green Bay Packers for head coach Dan Campbell.
Lions coach Dan Campbell said DJ Reader is day-to-day.
Fantasy Impact
The status of Campbell will be worth monitoring at practice the next couple of days.
