The Detroit Lions have released their Thursday injury report and half the players who missed Wednesday’s practice returned to action, including DJ Chark, Josh Reynolds, T.J. Hockenson, Frank Ragnow, and Evan Brown. Unfortunately, it’s not all good news, as reserve tackle Matt Nelson was downgraded to no practice.
Reserve: 21-day evaluation window
- EDGE Josh Paschal (sports hernia, PUP): Day 2
- CB Jerry Jacobs (ACL, PUP): Day 2
No practice
- RB D’Andre Swift (ankle, shoulder)
- WR Amon-Ra St. Brown (ankle)
- WR Quintez Cephus (foot)
- OT Matt Nelson (calf) — downgraded after a limited practice on Wednesday
- DL John Cominsky (wrist)
- LB Chris Board (knee)
Swift seemed unlikely to play this week, and a report from ESPN’s Jeremy Fowler seems to back that belief up, as he suggests that the “plan is still for him to return after the bye (Week 7), barring (an) unforeseen development.
