Lions Week 5 injury report: DL Tyleik Williams ACTIVE vs. Cardinals
The Detroit Lions have declared their inactives ahead of their Week 5 matchup with the Arizona Cardinals, and starting defensive tackle Tyleik Williams was NOT among the players listed. Williams exited Week 4 in a walking boot but told the media it was only precautionary. He missed practice on Wednesday—which is common for players injured […]
Detroit Lions Week 5 rooting guide: Best possible outcomes
Last week, the Detroit Lions got the worst possible outcome in literally every single Week 4 game, including their gut-punching loss to the Carolina Panthers. This week is already off to a better start, as the Cowboys losing to the previously winless Tampa Bay Buccaneers was certainly the preferred outcome on Thursday night. But what […]
Don’t mistake Kelvin Sheppard’s honesty, conviction for a lack of humility
Detroit Lions defensive coordinator Kelvin Sheppard’s press conference on Oct. 8 has been met with overwhelming criticism, with many voices and outlets questioning whether he is coaching for his job when the Lions take on the Arizona Cardinals in Week 5. There is a tendency in football to look at a struggling unit, identify the […]

Before every Detroit Lions game in 2026, we will provide readers with an updated depth chart based on information gathered throughout the week. In Week 5, the Detroit Lions travel to the desert to take on the Arizona Cardinals. To help you prepare for this matchup, we have a detailed Lions depth chart that ranks […]
How to watch Detroit Lions vs. Arizona Cardinals: TV, streaming, radio, more
The Detroit Lions (2-2) take on the Arizona Cardinals in one of the four late-afternoon games on Sunday of Week 5 in the NFL. Both teams are coming off of disappointing losses, looking to right the ship before the season spins out of control. Here’s everything you need to know to watch the NFC showdown […]
Jack Campbell hit with ‘major’ fine, could result in suspension if repeated
Detroit Lions linebacker Jack Campbell was fined $15,930 this week for a hip drop tackle in Sunday night’s game against the Carolina Panthers. On the surface, it’s not that big of a deal, as Campbell just got paid, and he can more than afford the penalty. However, the NFL has a new rule that could […]
Detroit Lions use final practice squad elevation on veteran safety
The Detroit Lions made just one roster move ahead of their Sunday afternoon tilt with the Arizona Cardinals, and it’s a familiar one. They have elevated veteran safety Jalen Mills from the practice squad. This is the third straight week Mills has been elevated while the team navigates a shorthanded secondary that still has Avonte […]
Cardinals to deactivate Marvin Harrison Jr. vs. Lions with trade looming
The Detroit Lions (2-2) will face a shorthanded Arizona Cardinals (1-3) as wide receiver Marvin Harrison Jr. has been declared as inactive for Sunday’s Week 5 matchup. Per Adam Schefter, the Cardinals are in the process of finalizing a trade of the former first-round pick. Details of the trade are not known at this time, […]
Detroit Lions vs. Arizona Cardinals preview: 3 key stats
The Detroit Lions had started at least 4-1 in each of the previous three seasons. Leading the NFC North pack from the jump was starting to become the norm. Not only have they suffered their earliest second loss since 2022, but both losses came in utterly demoralizing and shocking primetime fashion. Now they appear to […]
Detroit Lions vs. Arizona Cardinals Week 5 preview: Madden 27 simulation
For the first time this year, our weekly Madden simulations have led us astray. Last week, the virtual Detroit Lions absolutely crushed the Carolina Panthers, 42-14. Sunday night bore out a much different experience, with the Panthers controlling most of the game and walking away as six-point winners. It was the first time our Madden […]
Discussion: What can the Lions defense do vs. Cardinals to earn faith?
One of the more interesting questions from Dan Campbell’s Friday press conference was about how he can regain confidence in the Detroit Lions defense. In short, what did he need to see in Sunday’s game against the Arizona Cardinals to make him feel better about the direction of the defense. Campbell’s answer was basically three-fold: […]
Lions, Cardinals final injury report: Brian Branch officially OUT vs. Arizona
The Detroit Lions (2-2) and Arizona Cardinals (1-3) have declared their injury designations ahead of Sunday afternoon’s matchup in the desert. While Lions safety Brian Branch looked great in practice this week, he will not play in Sunday’s game. Fans may not have to wait long to see him out there again, though. Let’s take […]
Dan Campbell takeaways: 3 things he needs to see from Detroit Lions defense
Dan Campbell wrapped up the week of media sessions on Friday before the team heads to Arizona to take on the Cardinals in Week 5. He said that they are not likely to active Brian Branch (PUP, achilles) or Cade Mays (IR, wrist) this week, but there were a few other takeaways from his press […]
Lions’ Brian Branch, Cade Mays unlikely to play vs. Cardinals
Despite Detroit Lions defensive coordinator Kelvin Sheppard thinking he looks ready to play, safety Brian Branch is not likely to play this week against the Arizona Cardinals, according to coach Dan Campbell. “He’s looked good for two days. He’s looked good. I think that’s a tall order for this week,” Campbell said. Branch returned to […]
Lions vs. Cardinals preview: 3 key matchups
The Detroit Lions will have an opportunity to be great when they hit the road to take on the Arizona Cardinals in Week 5. Why do I phrase it like that? An opportunity to be great. Because that is what we all expect now from this organization. It’s no longer a hope. It’s the floor. […]
NFL predictions: 4 keys to a Lions victory over the Cardinals in Week 5
The Detroit Lions (2-2) and Arizona Cardinals (1-3) will square off in Week 4, with both teams looking to get back on the winning track. “New week, new opponent, Arizona,” Lions coach Dan Campbell said earlier this week. “These guys are playing hard. (Cardinals Head) Coach (Mike) LaFleur’s doing a really good job with them, […]
Detroit Lions vs. Arizona Cardinals preview, prediction: On Paper
The Detroit Lions need a bounce-back win in a big way, and they certainly have an opportunity to do so with the 1-3 Arizona Cardinals on deck. The Cardinals have hung with the 49ers and beat the Chargers in Week 1, but they were dominated by the Seahawks and lost a disappointing game against the […]
What is the ceiling for the Lions’ OL when Cade Mays returns to the field?
When the Detroit Lions hired Dan Campbell as their head coach and Brad Holmes as the general manager back in 2021, one thing was very clear from the beginning—they wanted to establish an identity with their offensive line. They immediately backed up those words when they made All-Pro tackle Penei Sewell the seventh overall pick […]
Thursday Night Football expert picks, predictions: Buccaneers at Cowboys
It’s already Week 5, and the slate of games kicks off with a Thursday night matchup between two teams perhaps headed in very different directions. The Tampa Bay Buccaneers are one of five winless teams—and the only one in the NFC. The seat is getting warmer for Todd Bowles in his fifth season with the […]
Lions, Cardinals injury report: DT Tyleik Williams returns to practice on Thursday
The Detroit Lions (2-2) and Arizona Cardinals (1-3) were back on their respective practice fields on Thursday in preparation for Sunday’s game, and while the Lions still have a few players unable to practice due to injury, one key starter was able to return. Let’s take a look at Thursday’s injury report and get you […]
5 takeaways from Kelvin Sheppard’s presser: Lions DC stands by scheme, blitzes
Normally during a game week, I like to provide takeaways from all three Detroit Lions coordinator media sessions on Thursday. But with the pressure mounting on Kelvin Sheppard, I thought it made sense to focus solely on his press conference from Week 5—and to be honest, Sheppard offers more interesting answers anyways. So here are […]
Before the Roar: Previewing Detroit Lions vs. Arizona Cardinals
You often hear people around the NFL describe the regular season as a marathon and not a sprint. That is good news for the Detroit Lions because after a bumpy Week 4 loss in Carolina, they are back on the road this week to visit the Arizona Cardinals for a Week 5 matchup. To preview […]
Kelvin Sheppard: Lions S Brian Branch looks ready to play now
After watching Brian Branch practice just one time following his 10-month rehab from an Achilles tear, Detroit Lions defensive coordinator Kelvin Sheppard couldn’t hold in his excitement. “How many positions can he play and how fast?” Sheppard joked with the media on Thursday. And while that was a joke, Sheppard insisted that Detroit’s Pro Bowl […]
Lions vs. Cardinals 5 Qs preview: Does Arizona do ANYTHING well?
One more game remains for the Detroit Lions before they’re off for a week—and it’s an important game in deciding the vibes as Detroit heads into their Week 6 bye. We had the pleasure of connecting with Seth Cox, the Managing Editor for Revenge of the Birds, to give us some insight into this Arizona […]
