The Detroit Lions are starting the 21-day evaluation clock of Superback Jason Cabinda (ankle) and he is now eligible to return to practice.
Per coach Dan Campbell, Cabinda will begin practicing on Wednesday, thus allowing the team to assess where he is in his recovery process and when he will be healthy enough to return to the active roster. During this 21-day window, while Cabinda can practice, he is still technically still on the reserve/PUP list and therefore does not count against the Lions' 53-man allotment. When he is eligible to return to game action, the team would need to place him on the active roster—which they can do at any time—and potentially make a corresponding move to clear roster space.
