Week 8: Lions–Vikings Thursday Injury Report
The second practice report of the week brought most of the guys back onto the field fully for both teams, as game prep is now in full swing. Lions only had two that were limited, while the Packers had 1 still limited and a backup that missed.
Vikings
Thursday: Both Aaron Jones (LP) and Jon Huber (LP) returned to the field, and they were joined by starting RT Brian O'Neil (FP). However, backup TE Gavin Batholomew missed practice with an ankle injury, casting doubt on his availability this weekend.
Wednesday: Three starters with Knee injuries in Jones, O'Neil and Huber, and that is it. None appear serious to hold them out this weekend, but the one to watch is Huber, as he is already filling in for the injured Donovan Jackson, so that would be their 4th string OG if he cannot go.
Lions
Thursday: Every Lion except Ennis Rakestraw and Kerby Jospeh was full participant today. Those two were both limited. Joseph won't be activated, but Rakestraw could have a shot to play if he is limited or full tomorrow.
Wednesday: Lions have some injury issues with Gibbs and St Brown both missing practice due to injuries, but likely just precautionary. Tyliek Williams was also out due to an illness and should be back by game day. Rakestraw, Saylors and Joseph all were limited, but all (except Kerby) should be good to go by Sunday. Hutch, McNeil, Sewell and Wonnum all had a rest day, no concerns there.
