Desmond Trufant returned to practice Thursday for the first time in nearly a month, but the cornerback's availability for the Detroit Lions' game against the Indianapolis Colts on Sunday remains in question.
Trufant practiced on a limited basis Thursday because of the hamstring injury he re-aggravated in the Lions' Week 4 loss to the New Orleans Saints.
Trufant originally suffered the injury in Week 1, and missed the next two games. He was listed as a non-participant in Wednesday's walk-through and has played just 92 snaps this season.
Amani Oruwariye and Jeff Okudah have settled in as the starting cornerbacks, and nickel corner Justin Coleman (hamstring) is expected to return from injured reserve this weekend.
