Cabinda (knee) is listed as active Sunday in Green Bay.
What it means:
Cabinda didn't practice Wednesday, but his ability to manage some reps both Thursday and Friday seemingly was enough for him to be available at fullback for the Lions. In his seven appearances this season, he has a four-yard carry and a five-yard catch (on four targets) while also playing a good amount on special teams.
The Lions list Cabinda (knee) as questionable for Sunday's game against the Packers.
What it means:
If Cabinda isn't available for the regular-season finale, the Lions will be playing the game without a true fullback. Cabinda has held a small role on offense while suiting up for seven of the Lions' last eight games, playing no more than 41 percent of the snaps on any occasion and earning just two touches (one carry and one reception) during that stretch.
Cabinda (illness) practiced fully Wednesday, per the team's official site.
What it means:
Cabinda was unable to give it a go this past weekend against Carolina due to an illness, but his ability to partake in Wednesday's session without limitations implies that he'll be ready to suit up New Year's Day versus the Bears.
Cabinda (illness) will be sidelined for Saturday's game against the Panthers.
What it means:
Cabinda did not practice at all during Week 16 prep while dealing with an illness, though the nature of this ailment is still unknown. The fullback has recorded one carry over the Lions' past six games, though his absence will leave the team without its primary run blocker against Carolina. In his absence, either tight ends Shane Zylstra or James Mitchell will likely take on a bigger blocking role out of the backfield. Cabinda's next chance to play will come against the Bears on Sunday, Jan. 1.
Cabinda (ankle) is active for Sunday's game at the Jets, Rich Cimini of ESPN reports.
What it means:
After being limited at practice all week with an ankle injury, Cabinda appears poised to play in Week 15. He hasn't drawn a target since Week 11 and has only gotten one touch since then.
Cabinda (ankle) is questionable for Sunday's matchup against the Jets, Tim Twentyman of the Lions' official site reports.
What it means:
Cabinda didn't practice Wednesday and was limited Wednesday and Friday due to an ankle injury. The fullback missed the Lions' first nine games of the season while on the reserve/PUP list with an ankle issue, but it's unclear if the two issues are related. Regardless, Cabinda has rushed just once for four yards and failed to haul in either of his two targets across five appearances this season, so his potential absence won't have any fantasy implications.
