The Detroit Lions (6-4) and New York Giants (2-9) have declared their injury designations ahead of the Week 12 battle on Sunday afternoon at Ford Field. While the Lions will be missing a couple of starters in their secondary, the Giants will be without their quarterback\u2014a significant blow for their chances on Sunday.<\/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
G Miles Frazier (knee, still on PUP) \u2014 Days remaining in evaluation: 4EDGE Josh Paschal (back, still on NFI) \u2014 Days remaining in evaluation: 4EDGE Marcus Davenport (shoulder, still on IR) \u2014 Days remaining in evaluation: 11CB Terrion Arnold (concussion)S Kerby Joseph (knee)<\/p>\n
Frazier is nearing the end of his injury evaluation window, but as we saw with Malcolm Rodriguez last week, he won\u2019t be activated ahead of this Sunday\u2019s game. The Lions have been working on cross-training him at guard and tackle, in the hopes that when he does return, he\u2019ll be able to contribute as a reserve at multiple spots.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe\u2019ve really worked him at both spots. I mean, he\u2019s doing some tackle for us, but then he\u2019s kicking in at guard, too,\u201d Campbell said on Friday. \u201cSo, right now, we\u2019re just trying to get him\u2014it\u2019s kind of like, alright, well if he\u2019s going to go, he\u2019s got to be able to play multiple spots if something happens.[\u2026] So, he\u2019s kind of doing a little bit of everything right now.\u201d<\/p>\n
Paschal is also nearing the end of his injury evaluation window, but whenever Campbell is asked about which players are close to returning, Paschal\u2019s name is not included. That could mean that the Lions plan on waiting to activate him as long as possible, and then, even once activated, he may need more time before being ready to contribute.<\/p>\n
Davenport is \u201cclose\u201d to returning to game action, per Campbell, but it won\u2019t happen this weekend. The Lions are in no rush to make a decision on Davenport\u2019s status, which may not happen until after Thanksgiving.<\/p>\n
Arnold was not able to clear the NFL\u2019s concussion protocol and will need to sit out another game. With a short week next week (the Lions play on Thanksgiving Day), there\u2019s a chance Arnold may be pressed to clear protocols ahead of the Packers game as well.<\/p>\n
Joseph\u2019s chances of playing this weekend were \u201cslim,\u201d according to Lions coach Dan Campbell, but the coach insisted the All-Pro safety was making progress towards returning soon.<\/p>\n
\u201cDoing better. Doing a lot better, progressing. Progressing, progressing,\u201d Campbell noted on Friday.<\/p>\n
