The Detroit Lions have created two roster spots by placing linebacker Jimmy Rolder on injured reserve, the team announced Tuesday. Rolder, who wears No. 41, suffered an injury during the Lions' game against the Minnesota Vikings at Ford Field on Sunday, November 1, 2026.

The move frees up space on the active roster as Detroit prepares for upcoming games. Rolder had been contributing on defense and special teams before the injury forced him out of the lineup. The Lions did not immediately announce corresponding roster additions to fill the two open spots.
