Penei Sewell (concussion), Sam LaPorta (ankle) return to Detroit Lions practice

Pro Bowl right tackle Penei Sewell has been cleared to return from his brain injury and is back on the field at Detroit Lions practice today.

Sewell reported concussion-like symptoms after the Lions' first padded practice of summer last Friday and spent the next four days in the NFL's concussion protocol. Matt Nelson and Germain Ifedi took first-team reps in Sewell's absence.

Entering his third NFL season, Sewell is considered one of the top right tackles in the NFL.
