Lions DE Ziggy Ansah questionable to play vs. Vikings

After practicing on a limited basis for the second straight day Wednesday, Lions defensive end Ziggy Ansah is questionable to play in Thursday's Thanksgiving game against the Minnesota Vikings.

Ansah has missed two straight games with a back injury, but his return would be a big boost for a defense that's allowed 423 yards rushing the last two games.

Lions coach Jim Caldwell said Ansah has looked "OK" in his return to the field. Ansah appeared more limited in the open portion of practice Wednesday than he did on Tuesday.
