Wingo was back at practice on Tuesday<\/a>, giving him a chance to be ready for the regular season. While a return-to-practice is encouraging, he is only expected to participate in individual and group drills while he acclimates, and is unlikely to practice or play against the Texans.<\/p>\nWingo\u2019s initial goal was to be back at the start of training camp, but he revealed after practice he had a setback that required a cleanup surgery two or three months back. When asked if he\u2019d be ready for Week 1 of the regular season, Wingo emphatically said, \u201cAbsolutely.\u201d<\/p>\n
Of the players remaining on the Lions\u2019 injury lists, Paschal is the only other one given a September projection for return-to-play. Frazier was estimated to return in September or October, while McNeill and Rodriguez are expected to be back in October.<\/p>\n
Not practicing on Tuesday:<\/p>\n
Martin is a new addition to this list after leaving practice early on Monday. It\u2019s not clear what he is dealing with, and the team did not provide an update. With no media access on Wednesday, the earliest we may get an answer to Martin\u2019s status is Thursday, ahead of joint practices.<\/p>\n
Return to practice\/status change<\/p>\n
LaPorta has returned to the practice field after resting\/recovering from an undisclosed injury that lasted around five days. Campbell did note that his injury was \u201cnothing major\u201d, and his return on Tuesday suggests LaPorta is indeed progressing as expected. The Lions haven\u2019t used LaPorta during the preseason, so it wouldn\u2019t be surprising if he got little to no work against the Texans and continued to rest for Saturday\u2019s game, as he should be focused is surely on being healthy for the regular season.<\/p>\n
Dorsey continues to get work during individual drills but has not returned to full team participation at this time. His status for any Texans-related practices\/games remains in flux.<\/p>\n
Norris was back on the field Tuesday with pads and a helmet, but was exclusively working with a trainer. While he remains in concussion protocol, this is a significant step towards making it back on the field just over a week after being taken off the field in an ambulance.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe\u2019re being very thorough with this, and he\u2019s doing well,\u201d coach Dan Campbell said Monday. \u201cHe\u2019s doing good, right now, but I don\u2019t even want to go that far (projecting his regular season status). I just know he\u2019s down today. and we\u2019ll keep going.\u201d<\/p>\n
