Jones was inactive for the Lions' recent game against the Baltimore Ravens for personal reasons. In a post on Instagram, Jones expressed his love and respect for the team and the city of Detroit, but stated that he cannot be the player he needs to be while tending to his family from afar. Jones, 33, has recorded five catches for 35 yards in six games this season.

Lions wide receiver Amon-Ra St. Brown is inactive for today's game against the Panthers due to an abdomen injury. He did not practice all week and was listed as doubtful. It remains to be seen if he will be able to return for Week 6. With St. Brown out, there are opportunities for other Lions receivers to step up, including Josh Reynolds, Kalif Raymond, Jameson Williams, and Marvin Jones. Tight end Sam LaPorta could also benefit from St. Brown's absence. However, the Lions are expected to focus on a run-heavy attack against the Panthers' weak run defense.

Reynolds and Williams are listed as questionable but are expected to play. With St. Brown out, the Lions may lean towards a more run-heavy game plan and tight end Sam LaPorta could see an increase in targets.
