The Detroit Lions, fresh off their third consecutive win—this time over the New York Giants—are back in Allen Park on Monday as they prepare for a Thanksgiving Day matchup with the Buffalo Bills in Week 12.
Because it’s a short week, the Lions will only hold walk-through practices, and they are not open to the media, so the reports on levels of participation are only estimates based on Lions’ coaches' guesses.
Reserve list
- RB Craig Reynolds (IR, ribs): eligible to return in Week 14
- WR Quintez Cephus (foot, IR): eligible to return at any time
- WR Trinity Benson (knee, IR): eligible to return in Week 15 (latest update)
- OL Tommy Kraemer (back, IR): eligible to return at any time
- DB Bobby Price (knee, IR): eligible to return at any time
21-day evaluation clock
- WR Jameson Williams (ACL, NFI): Day 1 (latest update)
- EDGE Romeo Okwara (Achilles, PUP): Day 6 (latest update)
Before fans jump out of their shoes, it’s important to remember that Williams has not practiced in over 10 months, has never practiced at the NFL level, and the Lions are running walkthroughs on a short week of practice, so getting him back for Thanksgiving seems like a big stretch.
