Swanson, Slay, Riddick remain out at Detroit Lions practice.

Darius Slay, Theo Riddick and Travis Swanson still out at open portion of Lions practice Friday. Riddick was running on the side, though. Khyri Thornton returned.

Theo Riddick (wrist) remained sidelined at Friday's practice.
Riddick can be safely ruled out if he doesn't return to at least a limited practice on Saturday. He's been dealing with a wrist injury.
If Riddick sits out on Monday night, which seems likely, Dwayne Washington and Zach Zenner would share backfield duties against Dallas. Washington is the more appealing.

Looks like another team might have been trying to make a run at a Lions practice squad player.
Per ESPN Insider Field Yates, Lions G Brandon Thomas had his pay bumped up to $524,994, or $30,882 per week.
The Lions traded for Thomas during the preseason.

The Lions have waived DE Corey Lemonier.
They had claimed him after Cleveland released him earlier this month.
