The Lions have begun practices for the Week 16 matchup with the Minnesota Vikings. Two players who have not been on the injured list recently sat out the Wednesday practice session.
Cornerback Jerry Jacobs (hamstring) and tight end Brock Wright (hip) were listed as out with their injuries. Jacobs only appeared on special teams in the Week 15 win over the Broncos.
Two players currently on the injured reserve list were practicing. Defensive back C.J. Gardner-Johnson (pec) and fullback Jason Cabinda (knee) have both had their return clocks started. Both players are now eligible to be activated anytime in the next 21 days.
Three players were limited participants:
LB Derrick Barnes (shoulder)
DL Levi Onwuzurike (knee)
RT Penei Sewell (shoulder)
The Lions practice again on Thursday and Friday.
