When the initial injury report came out on Wednesday afternoon, it had three players on it: Cameron Dantzler practiced in full with a hip and Andrew Booth Jr. and Za’Darius Smith were both limited with a quad and knee respectively.
After practice on Thursday, the latest injury report was released and it was significantly changed. All three from yesterday were on the list again with Jalen Nailor (hamstring) and Ben Ellefson (groin) joining them.

All five players were limited in practice on Thursday afternoon and this isn’t the most abnormal thing. Players that are nicked up with injuries are often given an easy day during the week.
The one that is concerning is Dantzler. After practicing in full on Wednesday afternoon, he took a step back on Thursday. There isn’t any word whether this step back is a cause for concern but it does need to be monitored throughout the weekend. Friday’s injury report will be telling.
