News

  • Won't play again this season

    Arizona placed Woods (abdomen) on injured reserve Wednesday, Darren Urban of the team's official site reports.

    Analysis: Woods played at least 96 percent of the Cardinals' defensive snaps each of the past three weeks, but he is reportedly dealing with a core muscle injury, per Howard Balzer of GoPHNX.com. Arizona is out of playoff contention, so Woods' won't be eligible to play again this season. He finishes the campaign with a career-high 61 tackles (33 solo), including 0.5 sacks, along with a deflected pass and a forced fumble over 11 contests.

  • Leading tackler at Pittsburgh

    Woods recorded 11 tackles (five solo) in Sunday's 24-10 win at Pittsburgh.

    Analysis: Woods' tackle total was also a season high for him and his best since 2021 when he was with the Lions. He's tallied seven-plus tackles in two of his last three games, but he'll still just be on the fringe of the IDP radar after Arizona's bye in Week 14.

  • Good to go Sunday

    Woods (back) has been deemed active ahead of Sunday's game in Seattle.

    Analysis: Woods was considered questionable to play Week 7 after he was limited with a back injury during practice Friday. While the nature of this issue was never revealed, the 27-year-old will ultimately be available to play against the Seahawks. Woods has tallied 11 tackles while playing 97 combined defensive snaps over the last two games.

  • Hits injury report with back issue

    Woods was limited in practice Friday due to a back injury, and he's been deemed questionable for Sunday's Week 7 game in Seattle, Josh Weinfuss of ESPN.com reports.

    Analysis: Woods logged a full practice session both Wednesday and Thursday, so the back issue appears to be new. The veteran linebacker logged a season-high six tackles last week against the Rams in his second contest following a three-week absence due to an ankle injury. If Woods misses Week 7, Krys Barnes and/or Ezekiel Turner could see increased snaps.

  • Has six tackles in defeat

    Woods recorded six tackles (three solo) in the Cardinals' Week 6 loss to the Rams Sunday.

    Analysis: It was Woods' second game back from an ankle injury, and he played just 60 percent of the defensive snaps alongside Kyzir White. After missing three games, Woods has 11 tackles and one tackle for loss in two games since his return.

  • Draws questionable tag

    Woods (ankle) is listed as questionable for Sunday's tilt against the Rams, Jourdan Rodrigue of The Athletic reports.

    Analysis: Woods logged limited workloads in consecutive days to close out the week after seemingly picking up an ankle injury at practice. His status for Week 6 will depend on how he is feeling closer to kickoff.Krys Barnes and Owen Pappoe would be candidates to replace him at weakside linebacker if he is ultimately unable to go.

  • Playing Sunday

    Woods (ankle) is in for Sunday's game against the Bengals.

    Analysis: The starting linebacker got in limited sessions Wednesday and Thursday before practicing in full Friday. Woods last played in Week 1 against the Commanders, when he recorded a tackle and a pass defensed.

  • Listed as questionable for Week 5

    Woods (ankle) is listed as questionable for Sunday's Week 5 game against the Bengals, Bo Brack of GoPHNX.com reports.

    Analysis: Woods was limited Wednesday and Thursday before getting in a full practice Friday, suggesting he's more probable than questionable. Woods has missed the last three games with the injury after starting and playing 39 defensive snaps in the season opener.

  • Missing another week

    Woods (ankle) has been listed as out ahead of Sunday's game against San Francisco, Darren Urban of Arizona's official site reports.

    Analysis: Woods will miss his third consecutive week as he continues to rehab from the ankle injury he suffered during the Cardinals' Week 1 loss to the Commanders. Krys Barnes (finger) is listed as questionable, and if he's able to play this coming Sunday, he'll likely be Woods' replacement at linebacker. Owen Pappoe is listed as Arizona's third-string weakside linebacker, and he'd likely fill in if Barnes is also ruled out.

  • Will miss Week 3

    Coach Jonathan Gannon said Friday that Woods (ankle) will not play in Sunday's Week 3 game against the Cowboys, Josh Weinfuss of ESPN.com reports.

    Analysis: Woods also missed last week's loss to the Giants after starting and playing 55 percent of the defensive snaps in the season opener versus Washington. Krys Barnes and Kyzir White started at linebacker for Arizona in Week 2.

  • Will sit out Sunday

    Woods (ankle) is listed as out for Sunday's game versus the Giants, Bob McManaman of The Arizona Republic reports.

    Analysis: After failing to log a practice this week, Woods will be forced to miss Arizona's game in Week 2. For as long as he can't play, Krys Barnes may see increased reps at linebacker.

    Analysis: Woods played for the Lions last season, registering 14 tackles (10 solo) while appearing in every game. The 26-year-old played almost exclusively on special teams last year, and Woods should be expected to have a similar role for the 2023 season.

  • Playing Sunday

    Woods (biceps) is active Sunday against the Bears.

    Analysis: Woods closed out the week with back-to-back limited practices, and he's feeling well enough to take the field Sunday. His ability to play should bolster Detroit's special teams unit, as well as their depth at linebacker.

  • Sticks with Detroit

    Woods re-signed with the Lions on Tuesday.

    Analysis: Woods suffered a neck injury in Week 15 against the Cardinals and subsequently went on IR, effectively ending his season. He ended the 2021 campaign with a career-high 28 tackles across 12 games during his first season with the Lions. The 25-year-old's new contract suggests that he should be good to go for training camp ahead of the 2022 season, when Woods could possibly compete for playing time at inside linebacker, per Dave Birkett of the Detroit Free Press.

  • Placed on IR

    Woods (neck) was placed on injured reserve Tuesday.

  • Won't play Sunday

    Woods (neck) has been ruled out for Sunday's contest against the Falcons.

    Analysis: Woods has been unable to log any type of practice session this week due to a neck injury suffered in the first half of last week's win against Arizona. The linebacker had been coming on strong prior to that contest, logging 21 combined tackles over the previous two weeks. Derrick Barnes saw most of the work in Woods' stead against the Cardinals and could continue to do so this Sunday.

  • Not practicing due to neck

    Woods (neck) missed a second consecutive practice Thursday.

    Analysis: Woods exited in the first half of last week's win over the Cardinals with what was deemed a shoulder injury at the time, but it's now being called a neck injury and has kept him from practicing Wednesday nor Thursday. If Woods is unable to suit up Sunday against the Falcons, it would be a major blow to Detroit's already poor run defense considering the linebacker totaled 13 tackles in his last full game in Week 14 against the Broncos.

  • Will not return

    Woods (shoulder) will not return Sunday against the Cardinals.

    Analysis: Woods left in the first half with the injury. In his absence, Derrick Barnes will continue to see an increased workload.

    More news and analysis available atNFL.com
  • Questionable to return

    Woods (shoulder) is questionable to return Sunday against the Cardinals.

    Analysis: Woods' current absence is magnified by the early exit of Alex Anzalone, also due to a shoulder injury. Both players though are questionable to return. In the meantime, Derrick Barnes and Anthony Pittman are both candidates to see extra snaps.

  • Monster tackling day

    Woods tallied 13 tackles (10 solo) in Sunday's 38-10 loss to the Broncos.

    Analysis: Woods led the Lions in tackles Sunday as he posted his best game so far this season. As the Broncos handed off the ball to both Melvin Gordon and Javonte Williams a combined 39 times, the 25-year-old had a very busy afternoon. Do not expect the linebacker to put up these kinds of numbers week in and week out, but he has recorded eight-plus tackles in each of his last two games.

  • Poached off practice squad

    The Lions are signing Woods off Chicago's practice squad Thursday, Dave Birkett of the Detroit Free Press reports.

    Analysis: Woods will provide Detroit with some additional depth at linebacker. He suited up for 15 games with Chicago in 2020, notching 14 total tackles with one fumble recovery. The 25-year-old also boasts experience on special teams.

  • Clear to face Lions

    Woods (foot) is active for Sunday's matchup against Detroit.

    Analysis: It seemed the 24-year-old would likely be cleared for Week 13, having been a full participant throughout the practice week after fielding 16 special-teams snaps last Sunday night against the Packers. Woods has gotten the nod, situating him in a backup inside linebacker slot entering Sunday's divisional matchup.

  • Questionable despite full practice

    Woods (foot) is questionable for Sunday's game against the Lions.

    Analysis: Woods carries the questionable tag despite being a full participant in all three of Chicago's practices this week. With that context in mind, he's more likely than not to suit up come game day.

  • Playing Week 4

    Woods (ankle) is active for Sunday's game against the Colts.

    Analysis: Woods was considered questionable with the ankle injury despite practicing fully all week, so it's not much of a surprise he's suiting up Sunday. The 24-year-old has exclusively played special teams in his two appearances this season.

  • Back to work Wednesday

    Woods (personal) wasn't on the team's injury report Wednesday.

    Analysis: Woods didn't suit up in Sunday's win over the Giants, as he was tending to a personal issue. As evidenced by this news, he's returned to the team and is expected to play in Week 3. He'll likely assume his usual depth linebacker role for Sunday's game against Atlanta.

  • Won't suit up versus Giants

    Woods (personal) won't play in Sunday's game versus the Giants, Patrick Finley of the Chicago Sun-Times reports.

    Analysis: Woods won't be able to play as he tends to a personal issue. Roquan Smith and Danny Trevathan will serve in their typical starting roles, and Joel Iyiegbuniwe will be the primary backup in case either gets injured.
