Thursday’s practices in anticipation of the Sunday matchup between the Detroit Lions and Buffalo Bills were quite divergent for the two teams.

The Bills did not have practice due to weather conditions in western New York. Meanwhile, the Lions had a very healthy participation across both sides of the ball.

SAM LB Trevor Nowaske was the only Lions player who was completely out from practice on Thursday. Nowaske is dealing with a concussion, and the timeline with the NFL’s concussion protocol will prevent Nowaske from being available for Sunday’s game in Ford Field.

Two other Lions were listed as limited on the official report: defensive linemen Levi Onwuzurike and DJ Reader. Both DTs missed the Week 14 win over the Packers. Reader’s return at nose tackle would be a big boon against Buffalo. He’s dealing what a shoulder injury, while Onwuzurike is limited with a hamstring.

Everyone else was a full participant, a list that includes starting left tackle Taylor Decker for the second straight day. Decker has missed two weeks with a knee injury. That portends very well for Decker to return at left tackle against the Bills.
