Detroit Lions coach Jim Schwartz said Monday there's a chance safety Louis Delmas could return from minor knee surgery to play Saturday against the San Diego Chargers, but Delmas did not take part in the Lions' first practice of the week today.
Delmas has missed three straight games with a Grade 2 MCL tear in his right knee. He underwent an arthroscopic procedure last week and did not travel with the Lions to Oakland.
Chris Harris, who's started in Delmas' place, also sat out practice after leaving the Raiders game with a concussion, but he went through stretching without a helmet and watched position drills from the field, a sign he's close to returning.
Cornerback Don Carey, long snapper Don Muhlbach, defensive tackle Corey Williams and defensive end Kyle Vanden Bosch also sat out practice today, while cornerbacks Aaron Berry and Chris Houston and defensive linemen Nick Fairley and Lawrence Jackson took part in first 30 minutes open to reporters.
Berry (shoulder) and Jackson (thigh) sat out the Lions' 28-27 win over the Oakland Raiders, while Houston (knee) and Fairley (foot) were limited in the game.
