The Lions have begun practices for the Week 16 matchup with the Minnesota Vikings. Two players who have not been on the injured list recently sat out the Wednesday practice session.

Three players were limited participants:

LB Derrick Barnes (shoulder)

DL Levi Onwuzurike (knee)

The Lions practice again on Thursday and Friday.
