The Detroit Lions (2-3) returned to the practice field on Wednesday as they prepare to travel to Atlanta to take on the Falcons (1-5) in Week 7, and four Lions starters missed practice today.
Here’s a look at the Lions’ injury report, with the updated changes in injury status listed in bold.
Injured reserve/PUP list
- RB Bo Scarbrough and CB Mike Ford returned to practice last week but remain on IR for the time being
- EDGE Austin Bryant (PUP) began practicing today
- CB Justin Coleman is eligible to return at any time
- TE Hunter Bryant is eligible to return after Week 8
- JACK Julian Okwara is eligible to return after Week 9
No Practice
| Player | Injury | Wednesday | Thursday | Friday | Designation |
| Frank Ragnow | Groin | No Practice | |||
| Marvin Jones | Knee | No Practice | |||
| Trey Flowers | Wrist | No Practice | |||
| Desmond Trufant | Hamstring | No Practice |
Ragnow injured his groin last week Wednesday, missed Thursday’s practice, returned Friday, and was able to play every offensive snap on Sunday. This is most likely a maintenance day for his injury but worth keeping an eye on.
Jones and Flowers were also able to play their full complement of snaps on Sunday, so this may also be rest days for banged-up veterans, but it could also be something that popped up after the game, which would be more concerning.
Trufant’s revenge game against the Falcons may be put on hold as he is once again starting the week off unable to practice. If he can’t play, Amani Oruwariye and Jeff Okudah have held down the fort admirably in his stay.
Limited Practice
| Player | Injury | Wednesday | Thursday | Friday | Designation |
| Danny Amendola | Foot | Limited Practice |
Amendola is another new name on the injury report this week. Limited is a good sign, and with his work ethic, expect him to do everything in his power to be available on Sunday.
Full Practice
| Player | Injury | Wednesday | Thursday | Friday | Designation |
| Joe Dahl | Groin | Full Practice |
Dahl spent three weeks on injured reserve because of his groin but was able to return to practice last week and contributed in a limited role against the Jaguars. A full practice is a great sign and it’s possible the offensive line gets shaken up again if he is ready to reclaim his starting role at left guard.
It’s worth noting that Da’Shawn Hand (chest), Nick Williams (shoulder), Christian Jones (knee), and C.J. Moore (calf) were listed on last week’s injury report and are no longer listed this week, indicating they’re good to go moving forward.
