  • Activated from IR, playing Week 12

    The Lions activated Dorsey (wrist) from injured reserve Saturday, and he no longer carries an injury designation into Sunday's game against the Giants.

    Analysis: Dorsey has officially been cleared to return from a six-game absence due to a wrist injury. He logged four solo tackles over four regular-season games prior to his injury while mostly serving on special teams.

  • Chance to return Week 12

    Dorsey (wrist) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Giants, Dave Birkett of the Detroit Free Press reports.

    Analysis: Dorsey's 21-day practice window to return from injured reserve opened Wednesday, and he ended the week with back-to-back full practices. He would have to be activated from IR in order to play Sunday; if not, then his next opportunity to play is Thursday against the Packers. Dorsey has missed the Lions' last six games while on IR due to a wrist injury.

  • Designated to return from IR

    Dorsey (wrist) had his 21-day practice window opened Thursday, Benjamin Raven of mlive.com reports.

    Analysis: Dorsey hurt his wrist Week 4 against Cleveland and subsequently landed on IR. He was designated to return Thursday and logged a full session during his first day back at practice. That gives Dorsey a chance of returning for Sunday's game against the Giants, though he'd need to first be activated by the Lions.

  • Shifts to IR

    Dorsey (concussion) was placed on injured reserve Wednesday.

    Analysis: The corner from Northern Arizona will now be forced to miss at least the Lions' next four games after sustaining a concussion in the Week 5 win over the Bengals. Prior to his injury, Dorsey played 74 total snaps (55 on special teams, 19 on defense) and recorded four total tackles across four contests. With Dorsey, Terrion Arnold (shoulder), D.J. Reed (hamstring) and Ennis Rakestraw (shoulder) all out for the Week 6 matchup against the Chiefs, Detroit's cornerback room currently consists of just…read more

  • Expected to miss some time

    Coach Dan Campbell said Monday that Dorsey (concussion) will be out "for a while," Justin Rogers of DetroitFootball.net reports.

    Analysis: Dorsey logged just 19 defensive snaps across the first four games of the season before missing Sunday's win over the Bengals. With all of the injuries in the Lions' secondary, Dorsey likely would have been looking at an increased role on defense, but he'll join Terrion Arnold (shoulder) and D.J. Reed (hamstring, IR) on the shelf.

  • Out for Week 5

    Dorsey (concussion) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Bengals.

    Analysis: Dorsey practiced in full Thursday but must have experienced renewed symptoms and was listed as DNP on Friday. Terrion Arnold, Rock Ya-Sin, Amik Robertson and Avonte Maddox are the Lions' healthy cornerbacks for Week 5.

  • Full practice Thursday

    Dorsey (concussion) was a full participant at practice Thursday.

  • Ready to practice

    Dorsey (undisclosed) was activated from the active/PUP list by the Lions on Monday, Dave Birkett of the Detroit Free Press reports.

    Analysis: The cornerback will also resume practicing this week, per Birkett. Dorsey was placed on the active/PUP list with an undisclosed issue in July. Now that he's back, the kickoff returner and depth corner should be available to resume his roles.

  • Placed on active/PUP list

    Dorsey (undisclosed) was placed on the active/PUP list by the Lions on Thursday.

    Analysis: Once he's ready to ready to practice, the depth corner and kickoff return man can be activated from the list at any time throughout training camp and the preseason. Dorsey has played mostly on special teams during parts of three NFL seasons with Baltimore and Detroit, though he has accumulated 244 and 159 kickoff return yards, respectively, over the last two campaigns with Detroit. That could be his role again in 2025.

  • Sticking with Detroit

    Dorsey re-signed with the Lions on Thursday.

    Analysis: The cornerback suffered a season-ending ankle injury in Detroit's December loss to the Bills last year, but he appears to be healthy again. Dorsey played on 70 defensive snaps in 14 regular-season games with the Lions in 2024 and on 76 defensive snaps in 13 regular-season games the year before. Dorsey projects as a depth corner behind free-agent signing D.J. Reed, 2024 first-round pick Terrion Arnold, 2024 Pro Bowler Brian Branch and Amik Robertson.

  • Placed on injured reserve

    The Lions placed Dorsey (ankle) on injured reserve Tuesday.

    Analysis: Dorsey suffered a season-ending ankle injury in the second quarter of Sunday's 48-42 loss to the Bills. With Carlton Davis (jaw) also on IR, Kindle Vildor is slated to start at outside cornerback opposite Terrion Arnold.

  • Season over

    Head coach Dan Campbell said Monday that Dorsey (ankle) suffered a season-ending injury in Sunday's 48-42 loss to the Bills, Tim Twentyman of the Lions' official site reports.

    Analysis: Campbell didn't offer up a diagnosis for Dorsey's ankle injury, but the cornerback will be shut down for the season after being carted off the field late in the second quarter of Sunday's contest. Fellow cornerback Carlton Davis also suffered a fractured jaw in the game and will likely be out for at least six weeks, leaving the Lions thin in the secondary. Dorsey finishes his season with 14 tackles and two pass breakups to go with 159 yards on four kickoff returns over his 14 appearances for…read more

  • Early exit Sunday

    Dorsey (ankle) has been ruled out for the rest of Sunday's contest against the Bills.

    Analysis: Dorsey suffered an ankle injury in the second quarter, ultimately requiring a cart to get off the field. With Carlton Davis (head/jaw) also banged up, the Lions are getting thin quickly at cornerback versus Buffalo.

  • Participates in training camp

    Dorsey (lower leg) is seemingly healthy once again, Nolan Bianchi of the Lions' official site reports.

    Analysis: Dorsey has recovered from a lower leg injury suffered last month. The 26-year-old should serve as Detroit's starting kick returner and could also add value as a depth defensive back.

  • Sustains leg injury

    Dorsey was carted to the locker room with a lower leg injury late in Wednesday's practice, Kyle Meinke of MLive.com reports.

    Analysis: Dorsey signed with Detroit last offseason and served as the team's top kickoff returner in 2023, bringing back 12 kicks for 244 yards during the regular season. The 26-year-old cornerback was slated to compete for a depth role in the Lions secondary as the offseason progressed, but that opportunity could be in jeopardy after Dorsey was carted off the field Wednesday.

  • Back with Detroit

    The Lions re-signed Dorsey on Thursday.

    Analysis: Detroit opted not to tender Dorsey as an exclusive rights free agent a couple weeks back, but the two sides were able to come to a compromise to get him back in the fold. Dorsey saw most of his action on special teams last season.

  • Will hit free agency

    The Lions opted not to tender a contract to Dorsey on Wednesday, Jeremy Fowler of ESPN.com reports.

  • Given full participant designation

    The Lions listed Dorsey (knee) as a full participant in Wednesday's practice.

    Analysis: Detroit didn't hold practice Wednesday, so this designation is just an estimate but is still encouraging news for Dorsey. The 25-year-old left the team's Week 8 win versus the Raiders with a knee injury but is now on track to make his return.

  • Questionable to return

    Dorsey (knee) is questionable to return to Monday's game against the Raiders with a knee injury.

    Analysis: Dorsey left the game in the second half with a knee injury and is now questionable to return. Detroit now could be without a solid special-teams contributor for the remainder of Monday's game.

  • Go to go Sunday

    Dorsey (illness) is active for Sunday's matchup against Tampa Bay.

    Analysis: Dorsey was activated from injured reserve Saturday and will be active for his first game back. Dorsey operated exclusively on special teams during his lone appearance of the season, but he could see an increased defensive role over the next couple of weeks with Emmanuel Moseley (knee) on injured reserve.

  • Activated from IR

    The Lions activated Dorsey (illness) from injured reserve Saturday.

    Analysis: Dorsey is listed as questionable for Sunday's contest against the Buccaneers, but he was a full participant in practice both Thursday and Friday. His return would be a welcome one for the Lions secondary after the team placed fellow cornerback Emmanuel Moseley (knee) on IR.

  • Returns to practice

    Dorsey (illness) was a full participant Wednesday after he was designated to return to practice from Detroit's injured reserve, Tim Twentyman of the team's official site reports.

    Analysis: Dorsey has been sidelined while dealing with an illness on Detroit's injured reserve over the last four games. The 25-year-old will have 21 days to practice before he must either be restored to the active roster or revert to IR for the remainder of the season. Dorsey's ability to immediately practice in full appears to indicate that he should return to in-game action relatively soon.

  • Out Sunday

    Dorsey (illness) has been ruled out ahead of Sunday's game against the Seahawks.

    Analysis: It's no surprise that Dorsey has been ruled out Sunday, as he's missed practice all week with an illness. Detroit will be without their starting kick returner against Seattle, making Kalif Raymond the likely replacement.

  • Lands on IR

    Dorsey (undisclosed) was placed on injured reserve by the Ravens on Monday.

    Analysis: For the second straight year, Dorsey has been lost to injured reserve. It is not clear if the shoulder injury from last year is the reason for his most recent trip. Either way, the 2020 undrafted rookie has a long road back to NFL action.
