The Detroit Lions<\/a> started Sunday morning with some good injury news<\/a>, but by the end of practice, there were a couple more names to add to the injury list.<\/p>\n

Here\u2019s everything you need to know about the Lions\u2019 injury situation after Day 9 of training camp. <\/p>\n

Still on injury list:<\/p>\n

G Miles Frazier (PUP)
\nDT Alim McNeill (PUP)
\nDT Mekhi Wingo (PUP)
\nEDGE Josh Paschal (NFI)
\nLB Malcolm Rodriguez (PUP)
\nCB Khalil Dorsey (PUP)<\/p>\n

Activated: <\/p>\n

Decker is the only change from the injury lists, as the Lions starting left tackle returned to practice for the first time since a shoulder clean-up procedure. Decker was limited to positional drills in practice, with Jamarco Jones and Giovanni Manu filling his spot (with Dan Skipper out with injury) when it came to team drills. <\/p>\n

Not practicing: <\/p>\n

RB Kye Robichaux
\nTE Kenny Yeboah
\nOT Dan Skipper
\nCB Terrion Arnold <\/p>\n

Robichaux remains out after suffering an injury during practice last week. <\/p>\n

While Yeboah suffered an injury in Thursday\u2019s preseason game, coach Dan Campbell said his absence on Sunday was related to a personal issue and he is expected to be fine from the injury.<\/p>\n

\u201cHe should be good. He\u2019s got a personal, he\u2019s dealing with a personal, in a good way,\u201d Campbell said. \u201cHe\u2019ll be back tonight. He won\u2019t practice today.\u201d<\/p>\n

As previously noted here,<\/a> Skipper and Arnold received good news on their respective injuries. Arnold is expected back later this week from his hamstring injury, while Skipper should be back next week after suffering an ankle injury in the preseason game, <\/p>\n

Returned to practice<\/p>\n

CB Amik Robertson
\nS Kerby Joseph<\/p>\n

Amik Robertson was back after missing a couple of practices and did not appear to be limited at all in his usage. Joseph, as Campbell predicted last week, was back on Sunday. While he did participate in some team drills, he split his time with Avonte Maddox as the starting safety alongside Brian Branch. It\u2019s clear they\u2019re easing him back in. <\/p>\n

No longer limited<\/p>\n

Vaki got plenty of team drills in on Sunday for the first time since his early injury in camp. He got some work with the second-team offense and plenty of one-on-one work, as well. <\/p>\n

Left practice<\/p>\n

CB Ennis Rakestraw (shouldere)
\nS Dan Jackson (leg) <\/p>\n

Rakestraw has been battling a chest injury all of camp, and now he has a shoulder injury. On the very first one-on-one tackling rep of practice, he tried to take down Tom Kennedy only to come down hard on his shoulder. The media\u2019s view was obstructed from watching how Rakestraw was treated by the medical team on the field, but he did not return to practice.<\/p>\n

Jackson\u2019s injury was not picked up by the media, but the team simply offered an official update that he\u2019s dealing with a leg injury. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The Detroit Lions started Sunday morning with some good injury news, but by the end of practice, there…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":259127,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2071],"tags":[44745,882,22003,146,113,13944,153,7452,2506,6270,7,29,23124,147,6,152,9735,151,6271,2355],"class_list":{"0":"post-259126","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-detroit-lions","8":"tag-activated","9":"tag-at","10":"tag-decker","11":"tag-detroit","12":"tag-detroit-lions","13":"tag-detroit-lions-injury-report","14":"tag-detroit-lions-news","15":"tag-detroit-lions-training-camp","16":"tag-detroitlions","17":"tag-ennis","18":"tag-football","19":"tag-front-page","20":"tag-injured","21":"tag-lions","22":"tag-nfl","23":"tag-of","24":"tag-practice","25":"tag-pride","26":"tag-rakestraw","27":"tag-taylor"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/channels.im\/@nfl\/114966213868815339","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/259126","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=259126"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/259126\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/259127"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=259126"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=259126"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=259126"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
