  • Lions' DJ Reader: Doesn't practice Wednesday

    Reader (shoulder) was a non-participant in Wednesday's week-opening practice session.

    Reader missed last Thursday's win over the Packers due to a shoulder injury, and his absence in the Lions' first practice this week casts a cloud over his status for Sunday's matchup versus Buffalo. Levi Onwuzurike (hamstring), who also missed the contest versus Green Bay, was able to log a limited practice Wednesday, and he could be in line for a healthy dose of defensive snaps Sunday if he's able to return to action and Reader has to sit out another game.

  • Lions' Josh Paschal: Limited to begin Week 15 prep

    Paschal (knee) was limited in Wednesday's practice.

    Paschal hurt his knee Week 13 against Chicago, and he missed last Thursday's win over the Packers. However, he's trending in a better direction this week by opening with a limited practice, as he was unable to take the field at all in the lead-up to the victory over the Packers. In Paschal's absence Week 14, Patrick O'Connor logged a season-high 82 percent of the Lions' defensive snaps.

  • Lions' Levi Onwuzurike: Returns to practice in limited fashion

    Onwuzurike (hamstring) was a limited practice participant Wednesday.

    This is a step in the right direction for Onwuzurike, who didn't practice at all last week and didn't play against Green Bay on Thursday due to a hamstring issue. His participation level in practice the rest of this week should help clarify whether he'll be able to return to the field Sunday versus Buffalo. Myles Adams logged 40 percent of Detroit's defensive snaps in his first game with the team last week since both Onwuzurike and DJ Reader (shoulder) were unable to play.

  • Lions' Alim McNeill: Records full practice Wednesday

    McNeill (concussion) was a full practice participant Wednesday.

    McNeill left last Thursday's win over the Packers early due to a concussion, but the extended time off between that game and the start of this week's practice schedule appears to have given him ample time to recover. Nonetheless, McNeill will need to clear the NFL's concussion protocol in order to suit up Sunday against the Bills.

  • Lions' Brian Branch: Not on injury report Wednesday

    Branch (cramps) does not appear on Detroit's injury report Wednesday.

    Branch left the Lions' Week 14 game against the Packers last Thursday early, but it appears he was dealing only with cramps. Since he's not on Detroit's injury report to begin the week, the second-year safety should have no problem suiting up Sunday versus Buffalo. Branch has put up excellent numbers this season, registering 70 tackles (54 solo) and 13 pass defenses, including four interceptions, through 12 contests.

  • Lions' Taylor Decker: Full participant in practice

    Decker (knee) was a full participant in Detroit's practice Wednesday.

    Decker hasn't played since suffering a knee injury during the team's Week 12 win over the Colts but is now one-step closer to making his return. The 2016 first-round pick will return to his role as the Lions' starting right tackle for their game against the Bills on Sunday.
