News

  • Set for free agency

    The Lions are expected to release Reeves-Maybin when the new league year begins, Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reports.

    Analysis: Reeves-Maybin was limited to 10 regular-season games in 2024 due to a neck injury, but he still played a career-high 148 defensive snaps and remained a key contributor on special teams. He tallied 14 total tackles and will likely find a new home quickly in a similar role.

    Reeves-Maybin (neck) is active for Monday night's game against the 49ers.

    Analysis: Reeves-Maybin had missed the Lions' last seven games due to a neck injury, but he was activated off IR on Monday and will play. Prior to his injury, Reeves-Maybin logged 11 tackles (seven solo) and one forced fumble across eight regular-season games.

  • Activated off IR

    The Lions activated Reeves-Maybin (neck) from injured reserve Monday.

    Analysis: Reeves-Maybin remains questionable for Monday's road matchup with the 49ers, but he'll have a chance to return from a seven-game absence due to a neck injury he suffered against the Packers in Week 9. The 2017 fourth-round pick would provide rotational depth at linebacker behind starters Trevor Nowaske, Jack Campbell and Ezekiel Turner.

  • Questionable for Week 17

    Reeves-Maybin (neck) is listed as questionable for Monday's game against the 49ers after logging a full practice Saturday, Tim Twentyman of the Lions' official site reports.

    Analysis: Reeves-Maybin has been on injured reserve since early November due to a neck injury he suffered in Week 9 against the Packers. He was a full participant all week, but it remains to be seen whether he'll be activated off IR ahead of Monday night's game.

  • Won't play Sunday

    Reeves-Maybin (neck) has been ruled out ahead of Sunday's matchup against the Bears.

    Analysis: Reeves-Maybin was designated to return from injured reserve Thursday and practiced in a limited capacity; however, it now appears he still isn't ready for in-game action just yet. The Tennessee product will remain on injured reserve, paving the way for David Long to serve as the Lions' top backup middle linebacker in Week 16.

  • Has 21-day practice window opened

    Reeves-Maybin (neck) was designated to return from injured reserve Thursday and was a limited participant in practice.

    Analysis: Reeves-Maybin had been on IR since early November due to a neck injury. The veteran linebacker is now eligible to be activated and to return to game action, though it's not clear if the Lions will make him available for this Sunday's game against the Bears. Reeves-Maybin had been working in a rotational role prior to his injury, topping out at 47 percent of Detroit's defensive snaps Week 3 against Arizona. He could see more work upon his eventual return, though, given the rash of injuries to…read more

  • Lands on IR with neck injury

    The Lions placed Reeves-Maybin (neck) on injured reserve Saturday.

    Analysis: Reeves-Maybin was already ruled out for Sunday's game against the Texans due to a neck injury he picked up in Week 9 against the Packers. However, the injury is severe enough to warrant a multi-week absence, and Reeves-Maybin will be forced to sit for at least the next four regular-season games. The earliest he can return is Week 14 against Green Bay on Thursday, Dec. 5.

  • Won't play vs. Houston

    Reeves-Maybin (neck) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Texans.

    Analysis: Reeves-Maybin picked up a neck injury during the Lions' Week 9 win over the Packers. He will be sidelined for Sunday's game after not being able to practice all week, and his next chance at suiting up will be Week 11 against the Jaguars on Sunday, Nov. 17. With starting linebacker Malcolm Rodriguez (ankle) also ruled out, Trevor Nowaske and Ben Niemann will each see an increased snap count on defense along starting linebackers Jack Campbell and Alex Anzalone.

  • Logs DNP on Wednesday

    Reeves-Maybin (neck) didn't practice Wednesday.

    Analysis: The veteran linebacker sustained what appeared to be a shoulder injury in the Lions' Week 9 win over the Packers, though it has since been clarified as a neck issue. Reeves-Maybin is likely in jeopardy of missing Detroit's Week 10 matchup in Houston if he's unable to practice in a limited fashion Thursday or Friday.

  • Questionable to return

    Reeves-Maybin (shoulder) is questionable to return to Sunday's contest against the Packers.

    Analysis: Reeves-Maybin suffered a shoulder injury in the second half, leaving his availability for the remainder of the game in question. In his absence, Alex Anzalone will operate as the team's exclusive traditional option at middle linebacker.

  • Healthy again

    Reeves-Maybin (groin) is seemingly healthy once again, Daniel Mears of The Detroit News reports.

    Analysis: Reeves-Maybin has now recovered from a groin injury suffered during the NFC Championship Game last season. The 29-year-old will look to contribute both on special teams and as a reserve defender once the regular season starts.

  • Gets new deal

    Reeves-Maybin (groin) signed a two-year, $7.5 million contract extension with the Lions on Monday, Mike Garafolo of NFL Network reports.

    Analysis: Reeves-Maybin played in all 17 regular-season games for Detroit last season, earning a spot on the NFC Pro Bowl roster as a special teamer. He finished his 2023 campaign with 20 tackles, 1.0 sack and two passes defended. According to Garafolo, the Tennessee product's new contract will make him the highest-paid core special teams player ever.

  • Leaves with groin injury

    Reeves-Maybin (groin) is questionable to return to Sunday's NFC Championship Game against the 49ers.

    Analysis: Reeves-Maybin sustained the third injury in the third quarter of Sunday's game. He did not record a stat before his exit. Anthony Pittman is the next man up as a depth outside linebacker alongside Justin Houston with both Reeves-Maybin and Derrick Barnes (knee) questionable to return Sunday.

  • Heading back to Detroit

    Reeves-Maybin agreed to a contract with the Lions on Wednesday, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.

    Analysis: Reeves-Maybin, who spent the first five years of his NFL career in Detroit before joining Houston last season, is now set to reunite with his former team in 2023. The 230-pound linebacker posted career highs with 82 tackles, four pass breakups and two forced fumbles during his final campaign with the Lions in 2021, but he saw a significant drop in his snaps on defense during his lone season in Houston. He'll likely be ticketed for a depth role as he rejoins the Lions.

  • In line to be released

    Analysis: Reeves-Maybin filled a backup role for the Texans in 2022, notching 15 tackles and a fumble recovery. The league year is set to begin March 15, at which time Reeves-Maybin is expected to be removed from the roster.

  • Signing with Texans

    Reeves-Maybin will sign a two-year, $7.5 million contract with the Texans on Thursday, Aaron Wilson of ProFootballNetwork.com reports.

    Analysis: Reeves-Maybin spent his first five professional seasons with the Lions, and he had a career-best year in 2021. Across 15 appearances, he logged 82 tackles (53 solo), four pass defenses, two forced fumbles and a fumble recovery. The 27-year-old will be rewarded with a two-year deal from the Texans, and he should have a chance to carve out a sizable role in the team's defense.

  • Ready to go Sunday

    Reeves-Maybin (shoulder) will play Sunday against the Falcons.

    Analysis: Reeves-Maybin missed Weeks 13 and 14 with the injury but was able to return in Week 15 against the Cardinals, where he recorded three tackles and two passes defensed on 96 percent of the defensive snaps. He should continue to play a large role in the Lions' linebacker unit Sunday against the Falcons.

  • Questionable again for Sunday

    Reeves-Maybin (shoulder) is listed as questionable to take the field Sunday against the Falcons.

    Analysis: The linebacker missed Weeks 13 and 14 due to the shoulder injury, but he was able to return to the field and play 96 percent of the defensive snaps last week against Arizona. Prior to that contest, Reeves-Maybin had logged a trio of limited practice sessions, which is precisely how this week has shaped up as well. Given that context, it seems reasonable to expect him to take the field Sunday.

  • Set for return

    Reeves-Maybin (shoulder) is active for Sunday's game against the Cardinals.

    Reeves-Maybin (shoulder) is questionable for Sunday's game against the Cardinals.

    Analysis: Reeves-Maybin has sat out the past two games with the shoulder injury but may be able to retake the field Sunday. Derrick Barnes should continue to have an increased role if Reeves-Maybin remains sidelined.

  • Out Sunday

    Reeves-Maybin (shoulder) is out Sunday against the Broncos, Tim Twentyman of the Lions' official site reports.

    Analysis: Reeves-Maybin will miss his second straight game. Derrick Barnes will likely be looking at an increased work load Sunday, as the Lions are dealing with multiple injuries to their linebacker unit.

  • Listed as non-participant

    Reeves-Maybin (shoulder) was listed as a non-participant on Wednesday's practice estimation.

    Analysis: Reeves-Maybin was sidelined for Sunday's win over the Vikings. If he hopes to play in Week 14 against Denver, he'll presumably need to practice in some capacity later in the week.

  • Sidelined for Week 13

    Reeves-Maybin (shoulder) won't play in Sunday's game against the Vikings, Dave Birkett of the Detroit Free Press reports.

    Analysis: Reeves-Maybin was unable to practice at all throughout the week. Derrick Barnes will likely get the start in Reeves-Maybin's place as the Lions try to slow down a Minnesota running game that will be led by Alexander Mattison with Dalvin Cook (shoulder) having been ruled out as well.

    Reeves-Maybin is questionable to return to Thursday's game against the Bears due to a shoulder injury.

    Analysis: Reeves-Maybin sustained his injury late in the fourth quarter and was replaced by Josh Woods. He totaled four tackles (two solo) prior to his departure. Woods and Derrick Barnes could see additional playing time if Reeves-Maybin is forced to miss additional time.

  • Injures heel

    Reeves-Maybin exited Tuesday's practice with a minor heel injury, Justin Rogers of the Detroit News reports.

    Analysis: The specifics of the injury aren't clear, but it sounds like Reeves-Maybin should be back on the field before long.

  • Re-ups with Lions

    Reeves-Maybin signed a one-year, $2.378 million contract to remain with the Lions on Monday, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.

    Analysis: Reeves-Maybin's contract is fully guaranteed. He played predominantly on special teams last season, totaling 10 tackles while dressing in all 16 games.

  • Ready for Sunday's contest

    Reeves-Maybin is active for Sunday's game versus the Colts.

    Analysis: Reeves-Maybin missed practice this week due to a non-injury related issue, but he'll join the team for Sunday's matchup. The fourth-year linebacker out of Tennessee barely plays on defense but is a consistent contributor on kick and punt coverage.

  • Might see expanded role on defense

    Reeves-Maybin could play a key role on defense in 2020, Chris Burke of The Athletic reports.

    Analysis: Most of Detroit's linebackers are primarily the downhill type, but Reeves-Maybin (6-foot, 230 pounds) has a different skillset that could be useful to the Lions on passing downs. Considering Reeves-Maybin distinguished himself as arguably Detroit's best special teams player in 2019, any added utility on defense would seemingly make the 25-year-old a lock for the 53-man roster.

  • New career high in tackles

    Reeves-Maybin totaled 37 tackles, one forced fumble and one fumble recovery over 16 games in 2019.

    Analysis: Despite opening the year with a significant role, Reeves-Maybin was almost exclusively a special-teams player for the majority of the season. While injuries to other members of the Lions defense forced the Tennessee product into an expanded role for the last three games of the campaign -- Reeves-Maybin contributed over six tackles per game over that stretch -- there's a reason he wasn't seeing much playing time before, which says something given how poor Detroit's linebacking corps was in 2019.…read more

  • Nine tackles in starting role

    Reeves-Maybin racked up nine tackles on a career-high 65 defensive snaps during Sunday's 27-17 loss to the Broncos.

    Analysis: Down starting linebackers Jarrad Davis (ankle) and Christian Jones (shoulder), the Lions turned to Reeves-Maybin to handle a large role and the 24-year-old produced nicely. He wasn't perfect, of course, but he at minimum made for a solid source of production. With Jahlani Tavai (shoulder) now on the shelf as well, Reeves-Maybin should get all the playing time he can handle during Sunday's season finale against the Packers.

  • Expected to start

    Reeves-Maybin is slated to start in Christian Jones' (shoulder) place Sunday against the Buccaneers, Justin Rogers of The Detroit News reports.

    Analysis: Reeves-Maybin has barely played on defense this season, but he'll be thrust into a starting role with Jones and Jarrad Davis (ankle/knee) sitting out. A third-year pro, Reeves-Maybin has 61 tackles (49 solo) through 36 career games.
