Following their second preseason game of 2025, the Detroit Lions returned home from Atlanta and were back on the practice field on Monday morning. There\u2019s been a lot of roster shuffling since the Lions last practiced in Allen Park, and we\u2019ll update you on all the relevant injury movement.<\/p>\n
G Miles Frazier (PUP)DT Alim McNeill (PUP)DL Mekhi Wingo (PUP)EDGE Josh Paschal (NFI)LB Malcolm Rodriguez (PUP)CB Khalil Dorsey (PUP)<\/p>\n
At different points throughout camp, several players on the Lions\u2019 injury lists have been spotted working out with trainers in front of the media. On Monday, Frazier, Wingo, and Rodriguez were all seen working out on the Lions\u2019 training hill at the back of their facility. So far, the only player not seen working out in some fashion has been McNeill, who is not expected to return until October.<\/p>\n
Not practicing on Monday:<\/p>\n
RB Sione Vaki (undisclosed, previously dealing with a hamstring injury)WR Tim Patrick (undisclosed)WR Dominic Lovett (abdominal)WR Tom Kennedy (unknown)OL Trystan Colon (elbow)DL Pat O\u2019Connor (leg)CB Terrion Arnold (hamstring)SAF Morice Norris (concussion)<\/p>\n
Vaki injured his hamstring on Day 2 of training camp, missed roughly a week, but was able to return after the Chargers game. Unfortunately, after two full practices, he missed Wednesday\u2019s practice, Friday\u2019s game against the Falcons, and remained out on Monday. He was seen working with trainers, which is a positive sign for his return.<\/p>\n
Patrick left practice early last Wednesday<\/a> with an undisclosed injury and was still not practicing on Monday. It\u2019s still not entirely clear what is holding him out, and he was not among the players coach Dan Campbell mentioned as injured during his morning press conference, but he was spotted after practice working on his catching skills with the jugs machine.<\/p>\n It\u2019s unclear what Kennedy is dealing with. He played 30 snaps during Detroit\u2019s preseason game against the Falcons and did not appear to leave with an injury.<\/p>\n Lovett, O\u2019Connor, and Arnold remain out as well, though only Arnold was seen working out with trainers on the training hill.<\/p>\n Colon, who injured his elbow against the Falcons, is going to be \u201cout for a while,\u201d according to Campbell, and was replaced by Kingsley Eguakun as the second-team center.<\/p>\n Norris, who suffered a concussion that required an emergency hospital evaluation in Atlanta<\/a>, has returned to Allen Park with his teammates<\/a> and is in the league\u2019s protocol. Campbell noted that Norris will be reevaluated in 10-14 days, as the team exercises the utmost precautions with his recovery.<\/p>\n \u201cEverybody was fired up to see him,\u201d Campbell noted of Norris\u2019 return to Allen Park. \u201cIt\u2019s a breath of fresh air, man. That\u2019s hard when something like that happens, and you don\u2019t know.\u201d<\/p>\n Ahmed Hassanein (lower leg)<\/p>\n Hassanien had his leg rolled up on during team drills and exited the field walking gingerly. He was evaluated by trainers and finished practice watching from a seated position on a water cooler. Hassanein exited the field under his own power, and when he limped past the media, he gave a generic \u201cI\u2019m good\u201d response.<\/p>\n We\u2019ll likely have to wait until Campbell\u2019s Wednesday press conference before we get an update on Hassanein\u2019s status.<\/p>\n OT Dan Skipper (ankle)OT Jamarco Jones (ankle)<\/p>\n In addition to Taylor Decker (who returned from PUP last week) getting his feet wet in team drills, we also saw Skipper and Jones begin their return from ankle injuries, all expected moves based on Campbell\u2019s press conference.<\/p>\n \u201cSkipper ought to be back today on a limited capacity, so should Jones,\u201d Campbell said ahead of practice. \u201cDecker will be moving out there a little bit today, getting some real practice reps.\u201d<\/p>\n In team drills, Skipper split left tackle duties with Decker, while Jones was tacking second-team reps at left tackle, which resulted in Giovanni Manu shifting over the right side for the first time in training camp.<\/p>\n
