Ruled out with concussion
Harper (concussion) has been ruled out ahead of Sunday's game against the Bears.
Analysis: Harper upgraded to a limited participant in Thursday's practice but will be unable to make the jump to full participation and clear the league's concussion protocol in time for Sunday's divisional showdown. With Jalen Mills likely set to start at free safety for the Lions in Sunday's contest, Harper ends the season with 37 tackles (26 solo) and five passes defensed, including one interception, over 12 games.

Back at practice Thursday
Harper (concussion) was a limited participant at practice Thursday.
Analysis: Harper was able to make his return to practice for the first time since suffering a concussion Christmas Day against the Vikings. The safety will still have to clear concussion protocol in order to play Sunday against the Bears, but his participation Thursday was a step in the right direction.

Sits out practice Wednesday
Harper (concussion) didn't participate in practice Wednesday.
Analysis: Harper was diagnosed with a concussion during last Thursday's Christmas Day game against the Vikings. He'll need to clear the NFL's five-step concussion protocol to have a chance of suiting up Sunday versus Chicago. If Harper can't play, Jalen Mills could absorb most of his defensive snaps.

Evaluated for possible concussion
Harper (head) is being evaluated for a concussion during Thursday's matchup against the Vikings.

Set to start
Harper (concussion) doesn't carry an injury designation ahead of Sunday's game against the Steelers.
Analysis: Harper was a full participant in practice this week and has officially cleared concussion protocol. The free safety has avoided an injury designation just in time to take up the mantle of starting free safety from an injured Kerby Joseph (knee). Harper's last starting opportunity was in Week 13 against the Packers, when he totaled four tackles (one solo) through 58 defensive snaps.

Full practice Wednesday
Harper (concussion) was a Richard Silva of The Detroit News in Wednesday's practice.
Analysis: It's unclear if Harper remains in the league's concussion protocol, but it appears he has a good chance to suit up Sunday against the Steelers after missing last Sunday's loss to the Rams. With Brian Branch (Achilles) out and Kerby Joseph dealing with a knee injury, Harper could be in line for heavy snaps on defense against Pittsburgh.

Won't play Week 15
Harper (concussion) has been ruled out for Sunday's game versus the Rams.
Analysis: Harper sustained a concussion during the Week 14 win over the Cowboys on Thursday Night Football. The 25-year-old was limited throughout this week of practice and deemed questionable on Friday, but he'll ultimately miss at least one more game with this issue. With fellow safeties Brian Branch (Achilles) and Kerby Joseph (knee) both ruled out as well, veterans Daniel Thomas, Avonte Maddox and Jalen Mills will all likely take on bigger roles versus LA.

Analysis: Harper was a limited participant in all three practices heading into Week 15. The 25-year-old suffered a concussion in the Lions' Week 14 win over Dallas and will need to clear the league's five-step concussion protocol before having a chance to play Sunday against the Rams.

Analysis: Harper suffered a concussion in Detroit's Week 14 win over Dallas, so it's no surprise that he was limited to begin the week. He'll have to work through concussion protocol before being cleared to play Sunday against the Rams, which will likely require at least one full practice session.

Picks off Winston in Week 12
Harper tallied six total tackles (five solo) and two passes defensed, including one interception, in Sunday's 34-27 overtime win over the Giants.
Analysis: The second-year pro from Notre Dame made an impact while starting in place of the injured Kerby Joseph (knee) in Week 12, picking off Jameis Winston in the fourth quarter. Harper has now started five games in a row for the Lions, recording 22 total tackles and three passes defensed, including an interception, during that span.

Analysis: Harper played mostly on special teams to begin his rookie campaign, but after the Raiders' bye in Week 10 he handled a consistent depth role on defense. With two years remaining on his contract with the team, Harper will spend the offseason working to continue his development.

Harper finished Sunday's 25-10 win over the Saints with three tackles (one solo), including 0.5 sacks, and one interception.
Analysis: Harper combined with Andre Carter to sack Spencer Rattler for a three-yard loss late in the fourth quarter. Six plays later, Harper grabbed his first career interception when he picked off Rattler on a pass intended for tight end Juwan Johnson. Harper, who the Raiders claimed off waivers in late August, has seen increased work on defense since Las Vegas' Week 10 bye after serving primarily on special teams in the first half of the season.
