**Lions Get Injury Boost Ahead of Ravens Clash**

**BALTIMORE, MD (September 21, 2025) -** The Detroit Lions received a much-needed boost as they prepare to face the Baltimore Ravens tonight. All four players listed as questionable on the team’s injury report have been cleared to play. This includes key contributors linebacker Jack Campbell, left tackle Taylor Decker, safety Kerby Joseph, and cornerback D.J. Reed.

The return of these players bolsters the Lions on both sides of the ball. Safety Kerby Joseph had a knee injury that limited him in practice all week, but he will tough it out and give it his all on the field tonight.

In addition to the four returning from injury, running back Sione Vaki is poised to make his regular season debut after recovering from a hamstring injury that sidelined him for the first two games. The Lions will be without veteran edge rusher Marcus Davenport, who was placed on Reserve/Injured with a chest injury.

Head coach Dan Campbell expressed optimism about the return of Vaki and Nowaske, highlighting their potential impact on special teams and in their respective positions. “It’s going to help,” Campbell said. “Those are two good football players for us in the teams aspect. But they also bring things offensively and defensively that we can use.”

Inactive for the Lions tonight are safety Thomas Harper, running back Craig Reynolds, interior offensive lineman Kingsley Eguakun, defensive lineman Chris Smith and defensive lineman Mekhi Wingo.

The Lions will look to capitalize on their healthier roster as they face a Ravens defense that has allowed an average of 115.5 rushing yards per game through the first two weeks of the season.
