There was a decided shortage of healthy bodies in Wednesday’s practice session at the Detroit Lions team facility in Allen Park. A full 15 players of the Lions 53-man roster were either out or limited to start Week 5.
Ten players missed the session entirely, while five others were officially listed as limited participants.

Those who were out:
LB Chris Board
OL Evan Brown
WR Quintez Cephus
WR DJ Chark
DL John Cominsky
TE T.J. Hockenson
C Frank Ragnow
WR Josh Reynolds
RB D’Andre Swift
WR Amon-Ra St. Brown
Those limited were OL Kayode Awosika, LT Taylor Decker, LG Jonah Jackson, OT Matt Nelson and K Austin Seibert. Jackson and Seibert have been out with injuries so their return to even limited practice is a positive development.
