Detroit was missing a few other players during the brisk practice Sunday afternoon, including center Graham Glasgow (leg), safety Don Carey, cornerback Crezdon Butler, safety Isaiah Johnson, linebacker Jon Bostic (knee), tight end Brandon Pettigrew (ACL) and offensive tackles Corey Robinson and Michael Ola.

On the bright side, Glasgow was out of the boot he was seen wearing when he missed Saturday's practice.

Also worth noting: Linebacker DeAndre Levy participated in team drills for the first time since he was activated off the non-football injury list last week.

Lions finished up last open practice of the year. Nine guys don't practice: Golden Tate, Eric Ebron, Michael Ola, Graham Glasgow, Corey Robinson, Jon Bostic, Crezdon Butler, Don Carey, Isaiah Johnson.

Also Tavon Wilson getting a lot of run with the 1's at SS over Rafael Bush. Bush had been No. 1 all camp.

Eric Ebron caught footballs off the JUGS machine after practice, perhaps taking another step in the right direction. More important? He jogged over to the machine and looked perfectly fine doing so.
