Lions sign cornerback Nick Whiteside ahead of Dolphins game

Summary

The Detroit Lions have signed cornerback Nick Whiteside to the active roster before their game against the Miami Dolphins on November 8, 2026. This move addresses the team's depth at the position following an injury to starter D.J. Reed. Reed, who has started all seven games this season, suffered a hip injury and will not participate in the upcoming game. The Lions have also placed linebacker Jack Campbell on injured reserve, creating the roster spot for Whiteside. The team continues to prepare without Reed, hoping he can return for their Week 10 matchup against the New England Patriots.
