With him back on the field, odds looked like he would play against the Commanders, but he would miss his second preseason game. According to Lions head coach Dan Campbell, Vaki woke up with a knot in his back yesterday, and while it's not deemed serious, the team thought it was enough to hold him out against Washington.

STACKED’s take

Negative signalInjury

Vaki's back injury sidelines him again, threatening his RB3 role to competition.

Running back Sione Vaki missed his second consecutive preseason game due to a back injury (woke up with a knot in his back), which is not deemed serious but was enough for the Lions to hold him out; his continued absence is giving other running backs opportunities to compete for the RB3 role, and if he doesn't play next week, his third-string job could be up for grabs despite his special teams value.
