The vast majority of the players who were limited on Thursday were upgraded to full participants on Friday, giving them no injury status for the Lions matchup.
Among those names are tight end Will Kacmarek (hamstring), edge Chop Robinson (knee), defensive lineman Zach Sieler (shoulder), safety Michael Taaffe (wrist), and safety Dante Trader Jr. (shoulder).
Long snapper Tucker Addington was not upgraded and remained limited through Friday with a shoulder injury, but he has no status for the game.

There are three players who remain questionable for the contest.
Running back Jaylen Wright is dealing with a quad injury and was limited on Thursday and Friday, leaving him questionable.
Fellow running back Kaytron Allen was limited Wednesday and Thursday, but was upgraded on Friday with a quad injury. He is also questionable.
Finally, edge Malik Herring is dealing with a neck injury and was limited all week. Herring might be a player that is most likely to not play against the Lions.
Additionally, guard Kadyn Proctor (concussion), cornerback Reese Taylor (quad), and quarterback Malik Willis (groin) continued to be full participants.

Dolphins head coach Jeff Hafley confirmed that Proctor would return in Week 9 after missing Week 8 due to entering the concussion protocol. Proctor revealed that he had been suffering from dizziness following Week 7, leading to being placed in the protocol.
Despite only experiencing a minor symptom, it was better for the team to place the rookie in the protocol to ensure he did not cause any further damage to his head.
The Dolphins will need their entire roster to play their A-game if they are to have a chance at beating the Lions. As mentioned above, Detroit has the top-ranked NFL offense, and stopping players like wide receiver Amon-Ra St. Brown and running back Jahmyr Gibbs will be tough to do.
Per the injury report, Brown is dealing with a rib injury and is also questionable for the game. Should he not be able to play, the Dolphins will catch a big break not having to defend the dynamic pass catcher.
