The list of injured Detroit Lions' players coming out of the Week 3 win over the Arizona Cardinals was lengthy, and there was a notable late addition to the list in center Frank Ragnow. Two of those injured players (defensive end Marcus Davenport, linebacker Derrick Barnes) were placed on IR this week.
Head coach Dan Campbell ruled Ragnow out for Week 4 against the Seattle Seahawks on Thursday, as he reportedly suffered a partially torn pectoral. The update on tight end Sam LaPorta was far better on Saturday.
Here is the final Week 4 injury report for the Lions.
- C Frank Ragnow (pectoral)-Out
- CB Ennis Rakestraw (hamstring)-Questionable
- TE Sam LaPorta (ankle)-No designation
- S Brian Branch (concussion)-No designation
- DT Alim McNeill (shoulder)-No designation
- DT Levi Onwuzurike (knee)-No designation
- OT Dan Skipper (ribs)-No designation
- LS Hogan Hatten (shoulder)-No designation
As mentioned, Ragnow was already ruled out for Monday night's game.
Rakestraw progressed to a full practice on Saturday after being limited the first two days of the week. He has missed the last two games, but he may be on the positive side of questionable for Monday night.
Ifeatu Melifonwu has been placed on IR, which head coach Dan Campbell was non-committal about eight days ago. The fourth-year safety missed the first three games with a lingering ankle/Achilles injury he suffered in the middle of training camp, and now he'll miss at least four more.
Otherwise, LaPorta, Branch, McNeill etc. all carry no injury designation and are good to go for Monday night. Linebacker Alex Anzalone, who missed Week 3 with a concussion, was removed from the injury report on Friday and he'll be back in action Monday night.
Hatten was a late addition to the injury report, but he was a full participant on Saturday and carries no designation for Monday night.
Here is the final Week 4 injury report for the Seahawks. They will be missing four key pieces of their defensive front. Also of note is running back Kenneth Walker, who carries no designation and will play against the Lions after missing the last two games with an oblique injury.
- DT Leonard Williams (ribs)-Out
- OLB Boye Mafe (knee)-Out
- DT Byron Murphy II (hamstring)-Out
- OLB Uchenna Nwosu (knee)-Out
- LB Jerome Baker (hamstring)-Questionable
