The Detroit Lions secured a 17-13 preseason victory over the Washington Commanders on August 22.

Head coach Dan Campbell expressed concern about Wilson's injury as the team evaluates the situation. Additionally, running back Sione Vaki, who sat out due to a back spasm, is expected to return to practice this week. Detroit also reported two more injury concerns, with Jabari Small entering concussion protocol and Michael Niese using crutches after a leg injury during the game.
