Maddox (back/illness) was a full participant at practice Thursday.

EDGE Analysis

Maddox was able to increase his participation to full Thursday after opening the week as a limited participant at practice Wednesday. The 29-year-old will likely return to his starting role at strong safety against the Bears on Sunday.

Maddox (back/illness) participated in practice in a limited capacity Wednesday.

EDGE Analysis

Maddox wasn't able to play last Thursday against Minnesota due to a back injury and an illness. He's still on the practice report with both issues, but a limited session Wednesday gives him a chance to return to action for Detroit's season finale against the Bears on Sunday. Fellow safety Thomas Harper (concussion) didn't practice Wednesday, so the state of Detroit's secondary is in flux heading into Week 18.

Maddox (back/illness) has been ruled out for Thursday's game against the Vikings.

EDGE Analysis

Maddox did not participate in any of the Lions' walkthrough practices due to a back injury and illness, which will prevent him from playing Christmas Day. His absence means Daniel Thomas or Jalen Mills will start at safety alongside Thomas Harper. Maddox's next chance to play is in the Lions' regular-season finale against the Bears in Week 18.

Maddox (back) was listed as a DNP on Monday's estimated practice report.

EDGE Analysis

The Lions conducted a walkthrough practice , but Maddox wasn't on the field for Monday's session while tending to a back issue he likely picked up during Sunday's 29-24 loss to the Steelers, when logged four tackles (two solo). His practice participation over the next two days will shed light on whether he'll be available for Detroit's Christmas Day clash against Minnesota.

Maddox (hamstring) is active for Sunday's game against the Vikings.

EDGE Analysis

Maddox has missed the Lions' last two games prior to the Week 8 bye, and his return is invaluable for a Lions defense that is thin at defensive back with injuries to key players such as Kerby Joseph, Erick Hallett, Daniel Thomas and D.J. Reed. The backup slot corner will likely have utility both defensively and on special teams for Sunday's divisional showdown with the Vikings.

Maddox (hamstring) is questionable for Sunday's game versus Minnesota.

EDGE Analysis

Maddox missed the Lions' two games prior to the Week 8 bye and could be in danger of missing a third contest. Terrion Arnold, Rock Ya-Sin, Amik Robertson and Arthur Maulet have been seeing the bulk of the cornerback snaps.

Coach Dan Campbell said Maddox (hamstring) will not return prior to the Lions' Week 8 bye, Eric Woodyard of ESPN.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Maddox will miss next Monday night's date with the Bucs, and Detroit will then head into its bye week. The 29-year-old cornerback was injured in the Lions' Week 5 win over the Bengals. He's played 43 snaps apiece on defense and special teams through five appearances this season.

Maddox (hamstring) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Chiefs.

EDGE Analysis

The veteran corner made an appearance on Thursday's practice report after being limited due to a hamstring injury. The injury is severe enough for Maddox to miss Sunday's game, and his next chance to play is Week 7 against the Buccaneers on Monday, Oct. 20. Arthur Maulet was elevated from the practice squad and could see rotational snaps in the secondary in Maddox's absence.

Maddox is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Chiefs due to a hamstring injury, Justin Rogers of DetroitFootball.net reports.

EDGE Analysis

Maddox popped up on Thursday's practice report as a limited participant due to a hamstring injury, which was severe enough for him to not practice Friday. That's a trend in the wrong direction for the veteran corner, but his official status may not be known until approximately 90 minutes prior to Sunday's 8:20 p.m. ET kickoff. Maddox has provided rotational help in the secondary while also contributing on special teams, but his absence would hurt a Lions secondary that is already without Terrion Arnold (shoulder) and could be missing Brian Branch (ankle) and Kerby Joseph (knee).

Maddox signed a one-year contract with the Lions on Friday, Glenn Erby of USA Today reports.

EDGE Analysis

Maddox, who started 2024 as a starter at slot cornerback for Philadelphia but was replaced by Cooper DeJean during the team's bye, now links up with another NFC contender. He looks primed for a key depth role behind Brian Branch in Detroit.
