Jeremiyah Love’s ankle injury should keep him healthy and ready to go for this week despite his appearance on the report, according<\/a> to head coach Mike LaFleur.<\/p>\n

“No, it shouldn’t impact [him]. But again, the best I can just tell you guys is maintenance. Just maintenance throughout the day, and then when we get to Sunday,” LaFleur told reporters on Wednesday.<\/p>\n

Earlier today, Lions head coach Dan Campbell spoke on trying to get Branch back into the mix.<\/p>\n

“Look, we know there\u2019s going to be a little bit of kicking the rust off just to get back into all of those, back to the player that he was. It\u2019ll take a minute,” said Campbell (h\/t Lions On SI<\/a>). <\/p>\n

“However, he\u2019s an instinctive, aware player and he is a violent player. And so he\u2019s got a knack for the football and his production, even if it\u2019s not what it was in the immediate, as he grows back to that will have an impact, I believe.”<\/p>\n

The Lions and Cardinals will practice twice more this week (Thursday and Friday) before revealing game statuses such as questionable, out or doubtful after Friday’s practice. <\/p>\n

On Saturday, the two sides will have the opportunity to make up to two standard practice squad elevations. These could be key in revealing who teams believe will be healthy or unavailable for Sunday. <\/p>\n

On game day, a final inactives report is due 90 minutes ahead of game time at State Farm Stadium. With a 1:25 PM kickoff, this report will be due at 11:55 AM on Sunday. <\/p>\n
