Reed (hamstring) and defensive end Marcus Davenport (chest) had their 21-day practice windows opened Wednesday. The Lions now have three weeks to activate them to the active roster.<\/p>\n<p>Head coach Dan Campbell previously estimated Reed, who went down in a Week 4 win over the Cleveland Browns, could return to the field in early December, so this latest development tracks with that timeline.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI\u2019m a gamer, so I\u2019m ready,\u201d Reed said Wednesday. \u201cBut that\u2019s not my call. Obviously, they\u2019re gonna be smart about it. If you ask me, I\u2019m ready to play.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Campbell hasn\u2019t been as concrete with his updates about Davenport, but he did say he expected the veteran back before season\u2019s end. Davenport said Wednesday he\u2019s \u201cvery excited\u201d to be practicing again.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt\u2019s great to finally be back,\u201d said Davenport, who got hurt against the Chicago Bears in Week 2.<\/p>\n<p>Detroit\u2019s defense has held up well in the absences of Reed and Davenport, but their returns would would suddenly make the Lions even deeper. On the outside, it\u2019s been Amik Robertson filling Reed\u2019s place. At defensive end, Tyler Lacy has seen an uptick in snaps, especially on early downs.<\/p>\n<h4>Practice attendance<\/h4>\n<p>Seven Lions did not participate in Wednesday\u2019s practice: Offensive tackle Penei Sewell (ankle), running back Sione Vaki (ankle), tight ends Sam LaPorta (back) and Brock Wright (ankle), defensive end Aidan Hutchinson (elbow), cornerback Terrion Arnold (concussion) and safety Kerby Joseph (knee).<\/p>\n<p>Wright and Vaki were working off to the side.<\/p>\n<p>Hutchinson said he is \u201cnot at all\u201d worried about his availability for Sunday\u2019s game against the Philadelphia Eagles.<\/p>\n<p>Sewell got rolled up on during last week\u2019s game against the Washington Commanders, though he returned to the field and finished the outing. Arnold is in concussion protocol, and Joseph continues to be hampered by a knee injury that\u2019s sidelined him for three consecutive games.<\/p>\n<p>Those listed as limited participants at Wednesday\u2019s session include Davenport, Reed, running back Jacob Saylors (back), offensive linemen Taylor Decker (shoulder), Graham Glasgow (back), Miles Frazier (knee) and defensive linemen Josh Paschal (back) and Pat O\u2019Connor (knee).<\/p>\n<p>Linebacker Malcolm Rodriguez (knee) was a full participant, as he trends toward making his season debut versus the Eagles.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Detroit Lions may soon be getting back a couple of starting players on the defensive side.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":37562,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[5],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-37561","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-detroit-lions"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v23.7 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>Lions injury updates: D.J.
