All-Pro safety Kerby Joseph will miss his ninth straight game Sunday, Dec. 19, against the Pittsburgh Steelers because of a knee injury. Joseph has not played since an Oct. 12 loss to the Kansas City Chiefs because of a chronic knee issue but remains on the Detroit Lions ' 53-man roster.

The Lions are hoping that these last few weeks of practice will set up Giovanni Manu to have a successful 2026 campaign.

The Steelers are making their final preparations for Sunday’s game at Detroit, and Channel 11 just got the injury report.

Detroit Lions coach Dan Campbell said he fears Brian Branch suffered a long-term injury after Branch was carted to the locker room Thursday.

The Lions boast the league's top-scoring offense, averaging 30.6 points per game. Losers last week against the Rams, the Lions expect with good reason to bounce back this week. Detroit owns a 14-1 record against the spread after a loss since mid-2022.

As the Steelers continue their march towards the playoffs against the Lions in Week 16, TJ Watt seems unlikely to return from injury.

After poor seasons in four of five years under Dan Campbell, is there hope in the Detroit Lions’ defensive future or are big changes needed?

The defensive showings from the Detroit Lions over the last month cannot continue if they want to win out and punch their playoff ticket.
