Lions get 7 back at Thursday's practice but lose another DL

[DSF]

As Detroit head coach Dan Campbell promised before Wednesday’s practice session, it was a day of rest for many Lions players. Seven vets who sat out the first practice ahead of the NFC North battle in Week 9 in Green Bay returned to full action on Thursday.

That group includes several keys to the Lions’ 6-1 start:

QB Jared Goff

RG Kevin Zeitler

LG Graham Glasgow

C Frank Ragnow

DT DJ Reader

DL Levi Onwuzurike

RB Sione Vaki

Left tackle Taylor Decker (chest) upgraded from being out on Wednesday to limited on Thursday. That improvement portends well for Decker to play in Green Bay.

Unfortunately, the Lions lost another defensive linemen during Thursday’s practice. Rookie Mekhi Wingo was listed as a limited participant with an ankle injury after being a full go on Wednesday. No information on the extent of Wingo’s wound is known yet.

Linebacker Malcolm Rodriguez (ankle) and DE Josh Paschal (illness) sat out fully once again.
