Lions coach Dan Campbell said of Sewell and Decker on Monday<\/a>. \u201cI think it\u2019s more about, are they going to be able to practice this week, and are they going to be able to play this week? But nothing beyond that, I don\u2019t feel like, as of right now.\u201d<\/p>\nSkipper and O\u2019Connor did not appear to suffer injuries during the game, so their absence from practice was a bit unexpected. We\u2019ll have to wait for more information on their status as the week progresses.<\/p>\n
Joseph continues to deal with a knee injury that is lingering longer than the staff expected. He continues to miss practice, and could be headed for another missed game, as the Lions are not going to rush him back and risk his availability later in the season.<\/p>\n
RB Craig Reynolds (hamstring) \u2014 Upgraded, return to practiceRB Jacob Saylors (back) \u2014 New injuryG Miles Frazier (knee, still on PUP) \u2014 Days remaining in evaluation: 20EDGE Josh Paschal (back, still on NFI) \u2014 Days remaining in evaluation: 20LB Malcolm Rodriguez (ACL, still on PUP) \u2014 Days remaining in evaluation: 12LB Grant Stuard (foot) \u2014 New injury<\/p>\n
Reynolds was back on the practice field after missing Weeks 7 and 9 with a hamstring injury. The Lions have taken things slowly this season with hamstring injuries, but this is a sign that he\u2019s making progress.<\/p>\n
Frazier and Paschal started their injury evaluation clocks this week, both finding the practice field earlier than the most recent projections. Neither has practiced since before training camp, meaning they\u2019ll surely take some time to acclimate to football, so don\u2019t expect them to return to the active roster this week, and maybe not next either. Still, this is terrific progress, and both could give the Lions a boost in the trenches.<\/p>\n
Rodriguez has been practicing for a week now, but could still be another week away, as some reports suggest he\u2019s targeting returning in Week 11.<\/p>\n
Saylors and Stuard did not appear to suffer injuries in Week 9 that required their removal from the game. Their addition to the injury list could be due to a lingering issue that surfaced after the game, or something that happened at practice on Wednesday. If their injuries were a result of an injury from the game, they\u2019ll have a good chance to return this week. However, if their injury occurred during practice, the outlook is a bit more challenging, as mid-week injuries often cost players the upcoming game.<\/p>\n
LB Ty Summers (hand) \u2014 New injuryCB Terrion Arnold (shoulder) \u2014 New injuryS Daniel Thomas (forearm, still on IR) \u2014 UPGRADED \u2014 Days remaining in evaluation: 11<\/p>\n
Summers, who was just signed off the Lions\u2019 practice squad, was injured on special teams in Week 9. He only exited for a brief time and was able to finish the game. That, combined with a full practice this week, is a good sign he should be back in the Lions LB6 role in Week 10.<\/p>\n
Arnold returned from a shoulder injury last week only to suffer a back injury that cost him a couple of snaps. He played the majority of snaps and even secured his first career interception. He\u2019s worth keeping an eye on, but he looks to be in a good spot.<\/p>\n
Thomas returned to practice just over a week ago and was listed as questionable last week, indicating he was close to returning. A full practice on Wednesday further suggests he could return to games as early as this Sunday.<\/p>\n
No longer on the injury report<\/p>\n
RB Sione Vaki (groin)RG Tate Ratledge (shoulder) \u2014 Injured in Week 9EDGE Al-Quadin Muhammad (hamstring)DB Avonte Maddox (hamstring)<\/p>\n
Vaki returned to practice last week and played a full complement of snaps in Week 9. He talked with Pride of Detroit in the locker room following the game and said he believed he\u2019s hopeful that he\u2019s put the injury behind him and will be good moving forward.<\/p>\n
Ratledge missed a small handful of snaps in Week 9, but of the injured offensive linemen, he appears to have escaped with the least concern.<\/p>\n
Muhammad\u2019s hamstring injury has kept him under observation for the last few weeks, but he hasn\u2019t been limited much, if at all, in games. He\u2019s progressing nicely and appears close to full health.<\/p>\n
Maddox returned to practice last week and was able to play on special teams in Week 9. Hamstring injuries can linger, so trainers will likely keep an eye on him as he progresses.<\/p>\n
