Examining the Detroit Lions (3-5) Thursday injury report for Week 10 as they prepare to take on the Washington Football Team (2-6). Overall the team’s health improved significantly since yesterday, except for the fact that T.J. Hockenson and Jarrad Davis were added.
Here’s a look at the Lions’ full injury report, with the updated changes in injury status listed in bold.
Injured reserve
- TE Hunter Bryant (IR) has begun practicing
- JACK Julian Okwara (IR) is eligible to return at any time
- EDGE Trey Flowers (IR) is eligible to return after Week 11
- CB Darryl Roberts (IR) is eligible to return after Week 11
- CB Tony McRae (IR) was placed on season-ending IR
No Practice
| Player | Injury | Wednesday | Thursday | Friday | Designation |
| Kenny Golladay | Hip | No Practice | No Practice | ||
| T.J. Hockenson | Toe | Not Listed | No Practice |
Hockenson being added to the injury report after practicing in full on Wednesday indicates this is a recent injury, with the severity unknown at this time. Mid-week additions are typically bad news for Sunday — which would make matters even worse for the Lions, as they are expected to also be missing Golladay — but we won’t know how significant this is until tomorrow.
Limited practice
| Player | Injury | Wednesday | Thursday | Friday | Designation |
| Jamal Agnew | Ribs | Limited Practice | Limited Practice | ||
| Hal Vaitai | Foot | No Practice | Limited Practice | ||
| Joe Dahl | Back | Limited Practice | Limited Practice | ||
| Nick Williams | Shoulder | No Practice | Limited Practice | ||
| Jarrad Davis | Knee | Not Listed | Limited Practice | ||
| Christian Jones | Knee | Limited Practice | Limited Practice | ||
| Jayron Kearse | Ankle | Limited Practice | Limited Practice |
Davis, like Hockenson, moving from a full practice to a limited practice indicates he was injured in practice this week, and like Hockenson his status for Sunday is in question. With Davis being limited today, it either means he was injured on Wednesday and is getting rest today, or he was injured today and couldn’t finish practice — the latter of which would be worse.
Vaitai and Williams were upgraded from no practice on Wednesday to limited on Thursday, pointing to them seeing improvement in their injuries or that they are not as significant as originally anticipated.
Agnew, Dahl, Jones, and Kearse have got in back-to-back limited practices, which is encouraging, especially for Agnew and Dahl who missed last week’s game.
Full Practice
| Player | Injury | Wednesday | Thursday | Friday | Designation |
| Matthew Stafford | Neck | Full Practice | Full Practice | ||
| Tyrell Crosby | Ankle | Limited Practice | Full Practice | ||
| Everson Griffen | Non-injury | No Practice | Full Practice | ||
| Danny Shelton | Chest | Limited Practice | Full Practice | ||
| Jeff Okudah | Ankle/Groin | Limited Practice | Full Practice | ||
| Mike Ford | Hip | Limited Practice | Full Practice | ||
| Tracy Walker | Foot | Limited Practice | Full Practice |
Of the original 14 players listed on this week’s injury report, half of them are already getting in full practices. That’s a good sign for this team’s overall health, especially considering five of them are starters.
