Thursday’s practice participation report for the Detroit Lions was a little happier than Wednesday’s lengthy list. Two players who sat out on the first practice session of Week 7 returned to the field.
Left tackle Taylor Decker and linebacker Chris Board were back on the field in Allen Park. Decker missed Wednesday with a personal issue, while Board sat with a knee injury. Board remained on limited status, but that’s progress for the speedy LB.
Six more players who sat out on Wednesday remained sidelined for Thursday’s session:
- WR DJ Chark (ankle)
- DE Charles Harris (groin)
- S Ifeatu Melifonwu (ankle)
- OT Matt Nelson (calf)
- CB Bobby Price (knee)
- WR Josh Reynolds (knee)
A handful of other Lions remain limited due to ongoing injuries. Along with Board, RB D’Andre Swift (ankle/shoulder), C Frank Ragnow (foot), Will Harris (hip) and John Cominsky (wrist) were not full participants in Thursday’s practice.
The good news: no new injuries cropped up in the first two days of practice in advance of Sunday’s trip to Dallas to face the 4-2 Cowboys.
