NFL teams are expected to come out of the bye healthier, and the Detroit Lions are following that trend as they prepare for the Miami Dolphins.
During Wednesday’s practice, the Lions saw two key players return to the field: tight end Michael Roberts and offensive guard T.J. Lang.
Roberts has been out since Week 2 after suffering an knee injury during the following week of practice. The 2017 fourth-round pick was having a slow start to the season, but he picked up his first career touchdown against the 49ers and could provide some much-needed help at the tight end position.
