First touches since Week 6
Vaki rushed the ball five times for nine yards in Sunday's 52-6 win over the Jaguars.
Analysis: Vaki entered the game in the fourth quarter with the Lions well out in front, turning a career-high five carries into nine yards. The rookie remains an extreme depth option in Detroit's backfield, playing only nine offensive snaps before Sunday's blowout victory.

Full go for Wednesday
Vaki (knee) was a full participant in Wednesday's practice.
Analysis: The 2024 fourth-round pick from Utah missed the Lions' Week 9 win over the Packers due to a knee injury. However, Vaki appears to have moved past the knee issue following Wednesday's full practice. Now that he's returned to full health, expect Vaki to play almost strictly on special teams in the Lions' Week 10 matchup against the Texans.

Won't play Week 9
Vaki (knee) has been ruled out ahead of Sunday's game against the Packers.
Analysis: Vaki looked to be on his way to being available Sunday after logging a full practice Thursday, but he was tagged as doubtful after not practicing Friday. The rookie fourth-round pick's next chance at suiting up will be Week 10 against the Texans on Sunday, Nov. 10. David Montgomery, Jahmyr Gibbs and Craig Reynolds will be the Lions' three running backs for Sunday's contest.

Doubtful for Sunday
Vaki (knee) is listed as doubtful ahead of Sunday's matchup against the Packers.
Analysis: Vaki appeared to have moved past his knee issue after recording a full practice session Thursday. However, he downgraded to a DNP on Friday and will likely miss the Lions' Week 9 divisional matchup. With Vaki expected to be sidelined Sunday, Detroit's running back room will likely consist of David Montgomery, Jahmyr Gibbs and Craig Reynolds.

Past knee injury
Vaki (knee) was a full participant during Thursday's practice.
Analysis: Vaki was held out of Wednesday's practice due to a knee injury he likely picked up during the Lions' Week 8 win over the Titans. The injury doesn't appear to be severe, however, as he was able to practice without limitations Thursday. Barring any setbacks, Vaki will suit up and play in his usual special-teams role against the Packers on Sunday.

Dealing with knee issue
Vaki (knee) didn't practice Wednesday, Colton Pouncy of The Athletic reports.
Analysis: Detroit's No. 4 running back recorded one total tackle across 22 special-teams snaps in Sunday's blowout win, however, it appears he sustained a knee injury in the process. The rookie from Utah could be in jeopardy of missing Week 9's matchup against the Packers if he doesn't upgrade to at least limited participation Thursday or Friday.

Limited usage in Week 1
Vaki failed to log a touch while playing two snaps on offense in Sunday's 26-20 overtime win against the Rams.
Analysis: Vaki was used sparingly in Week 1, seeing the majority of his action on special teams and logging 18 snaps with that unit. Fellow running back Craig Reynolds didn't see any touches either, and Vaki and Reynolds seemingly remain in a battle for the No. 3 role in Detroit's backfield behind David Montgomery and Jahmyr Gibbs. Neither depth option carries much fantasy value, barring an injury to Gibbs or Montgomery.

Productive in preseason game
Vaki ran for 22 yards on six carries and caught four passes for 60 yards on four targets in Saturday's preseason game against Kansas City.
Analysis: The rookie fourth-round pick out of Utah seemingly played in the rotation following Craig Reynolds, who took the first touch at running back with Jahmyr Gibbs (hamstring) and David Montgomery left out of the game. The Lions plan to run often and are expected to keep all four running backs on the roster, and whatever the depth chart placement might be between Vaki and Reynolds at the moment could change over the course of the year. Vaki's pass-catching upside stands out, not just because of his…read more

Gets four carries in NFL debut
Vaki rushed four times for 29 yards and wasn't targeted in Thursday's 14-3 preseason loss to the Giants. He also recovered a fumble.
Analysis: All four of Vaki's carries came on one drive late in the first half, and he also showed good awareness for a rookie by recovering a fumble committed by a Giants defender on an interception return. The versatile fourth-round pick played both safety and running back at Utah, but the Lions have had Vaki concentrate on the latter position to begin his NFL career. He appears to be no higher than fourth on the depth chart behind Jahmyr Gibbs, David Montgomery and Craig Reynolds, who started…read more

Back at practice
Vaki returned to practice Friday, and Lions head coach Dan Campbell stated Vaki's shoulder problem is "nothing long term," Jeff Risdon of USA Today and John Maakaron of Sports Illustrated report.
Analysis: Vaki left practice early on Thursday with shoulder problems, but it appears the injury won't be a problem moving forward as he returned to practice just a day later. The rookie running back will need as many reps as he can get ahead of Detroit's season as he focuses solely on the offensive side of the ball after playing both running back and safety in his collegiate career with Utah.

Gets banged up
Vaki left practice early Thursday with a shoulder injury, Tim Twentyman of the Lions' official site reports.
Analysis: Vaki played safety and running back at Utah last season before being selected by the Lions in the fourth round of the 2024 NFL Draft. However, the 23-year-old is expected to be used exclusively on offense in Detroit. Any potential missed time during training camp could make it difficult for Vaki to push past Craig Reynolds and carve out consistent snaps on offense early in the season.
