With the Lions already under defensive captain and linebacker Alex Anzalone, linebacker Derrick Barnes was wheeled to the locker room in the second quarter with a towel over his head. Rookie Cardinals tight end Tip Reimann put a helmet on Barnes’ knee as he blocked what ended up being a 3-yard gain by Cardinals quarterback Kyler Murray.

Barnes was officially demoted to an unfit player early in the second half.

On one of the final plays of the half, Lions defensive tackle Alim McNeill cautiously walked off the field due to an injury. He was ruled out early in the second half with a shoulder injury.

On one of the coolest touchdowns you’ll ever see — a hook-and-ladder scored by Lions running back Jahmyr Gibbs — tight end Sam LaPorta appeared to suffer a lower-body injury and was later wheeled to the locker room. LaPorta was initially able to get off under his own power, so there’s still a chance he used the cart to get to the locker room as quickly as possible for a test with just 29 seconds left in the half.
