New additions to the Lions’ Injury List include offensive lineman Ben Bartch, wide receiver Tom Kennedy, and linebacker Devin White. White exited early in the game after suffering a broken forearm in the first quarter, ending his day after he had recently returned from an absence since Week 2. Kennedy left the game in the second quarter with a torn MCL, ending his season following an 11-yard punt return. Bartch was inactive for the matchup against Arizona due to a lingering foot issue, having already missed Detroit’s Week 3 and Week 4 contests.
Head coach Dan Campbell delivered a fiery locker-room speech after the game, emphasizing a standard of excellence and rejecting mediocrity. He urged players to never settle for less than their abilities and to maintain high standards in all aspects of life, including as husbands and fathers.
The Lions now enter their bye week and are off again until October 25, when they will face the Green Bay Packers in a divisional matchup.
