The Detroit Lions (6-4) and New York Giants (2-9) were back on the practice field on Thursday, and with Detroit holding a walkthrough on Wednesday, this marks the first true look at where Lions players\u2019 injuries stand. On a positive note, the Lions were able to return three starters to practice on Thursday, including left tackle Taylor Decker, right tackle Penei Sewell, and safety Brian Branch.<\/p>\n
Let\u2019s take a look at the latest injury report and get you up to date with what we know. Note: Any changes from the last injury report will be bolded.<\/p>\n
CB Terrion Arnold (concussion)S Kerby Joseph (knee)<\/p>\n
Arnold remains in the NFL\u2019s concussion protocol and is still unable to practice at this time. On Wednesday, Lions coach Dan Campbell noted that Arnold was \u201cstill kinda day-to-day\u201d in his recovery, which essentially means they\u2019re in a wait-and-see mode at this time.<\/p>\n
Joseph continues to miss practice, and with him unavailable for such an extended period, it\u2019s hard to predict when he\u2019ll be ready to play in games, even if he begins practicing soon.<\/p>\n

We\u2019ll have to see how his situation progresses on Friday before we know much more.<\/p>\n TeSlaa hasn\u2019t missed any time since showing up on the injury report last Saturday, but the Lions typically take things slow with mid-week injuries, so expect his participation levels to remain low for now.<\/p>\n Sewell has been working through different injuries for the past three weeks, but when game day comes, he\u2019s played virtually every snap. After getting a break on Wednesday, he\u2019s back at practice and is expected to be good to go in the game.<\/p>\n Decker continues to go through each practice week, taking at least one practice off as he gives his shoulder a break. He hasn\u2019t missed a snap since before the bye week and is expected to start on Sunday, even if he takes Friday\u2019s practice off.<\/p>\n Ratledge left for a portion of Week 11 with a knee injury but was estimated to have practiced on Wednesday and did practice on Thursday, indicating he\u2019s in a decent spot to start at right guard against the Giants.<\/p>\n Glasgow, like Ratledge, was estimated to have practiced on Wednesday and did practice on Thursday, and should be in line to start on Sunday afternoon.<\/p>\n Paschal has less than a week left in his evaluation window, meaning the Lions have until next Wednesday to decide on his status. It\u2019s possible that he returns for this weekend\u2019s matchup with the Giants, or he could be held out until Thanksgiving against the Packers.<\/p>\n Davenport has less than two weeks remaining, meaning he could miss both the Giants and Packers games, or potentially return to one or both of those games. Of the four injury-list players practicing, Davenport appears to be the furthest away, based on the coaches\u2019 comments.<\/p>\n
