Sione Vaki’s current injury designation is shown in the live status box above, which updates automatically from the official NFL injury report. Detroit drafted him in the fourth round in 2024, and he worked mostly on special teams in 2025.
He played 29% of the snaps in Week 1 and 17% in Week 2 behind Jahmyr Gibbs, per Lineups.com, with three carries and two catches over those two games, per Pro Football Reference. In early September Dan Campbell described the backup job as a committee with Jacob Saylors, per NBC Sports.
Fantasy Action: Vaki is only a deep-league handcuff for Gibbs managers. Even an injury to Gibbs might produce a committee rather than a feature role.
