The Detroit Lions are close to getting another weapon back in their passing game.
Wide receiver Quintez Cephus returned to practice Wednesday for the first time since injuring his foot in an October loss to the Seattle Seahawks.
After battling injuries at receiver most of the season, the Lions are the healthiest they've been at the position since training camp. DJ Chark (ankle), Amon-Ra St. Brown (ankle, concussion) and Josh Reynolds (ankle, back) missed a combined 10 games with injuries, and rookie first-round Jameson Williams made his NFL debut against the Jacksonville Jaguars last week after opening the year on the nonfootball injury list.
