The Detroit Lions have another injury situation to monitor ahead of Sunday’s matchup against the New England Patriots in Germany, and this one involves their starting quarterback. Jared Goff made a surprising appearance on Detroit’s initial Week 10 injury report Wednesday afternoon.
According to the Lions’ official injury report, Goff was listed as a limited participant with a chest injury. The team did not provide additional details about the injury or indicate whether his availability for Sunday’s game is in jeopardy.

While Goff’s appearance on the injury report is certainly worth monitoring, a limited practice designation doesn’t necessarily mean he is in danger of missing time. Still, with Detroit preparing for a crucial matchup overseas, his status will be one of the biggest storylines heading into the weekend.

The report also included some encouraging news, as DJ Wonnum was listed as a full participant after missing Sunday’s 19-9 victory over the Miami Dolphins with a concussion. Wonnum had been among the five Lions ruled out against Miami, so his return represents a positive development for Detroit’s defense.
Jared Goff and Other Lions Starters Worth Monitoring
Goff wasn’t the only important starter dealing with an injury Wednesday, as Brian Branch, Kerby Joseph, and Amon-Ra St. Brown were also listed as limited participants. Meanwhile, center Cade Mays, cornerback D.J. Reed, and running back Sione Vaki did not participate.
Earlier Wednesday, Dan Campbell provided an update on several injured starters, indicating that Mays and Reed were doubtful at best for Sunday’s matchup. The initial injury report confirmed that neither player participated Wednesday.

According to Goff’s official player statistics, Detroit’s veteran quarterback has continued leading the offense through the first half of the season. His health will be especially important as the Lions attempt to extend their four-game winning streak.
For now, there is no indication that Goff will miss Sunday’s game against New England. However, his chest injury will be something to monitor when Detroit releases its next practice report Thursday.
