Lions have full practice participation, but five players limited

Detroit News

Allen Park — The Detroit Lions are in relatively good health heading into the team’s first game of the 2021 season. During Wednesday’s practice, the team had full participation, although five players, including four projected starters, were limited by injury.

Defensive linemen Michael Brockers (shoulder), Nick Williams (elbow) and Levi Onwuzurike (hip), offensive tackle Taylor Decker (finger) and nickel corner A.J. Parker (shoulder) were the limited players.

Of that group, only Brockers has been significantly hampered in recent weeks, although both he and coach Dan Campbell have recently said he’s expected to play this Sunday against the San Francisco 49ers.

On a more positive note, both tight end T.J. Hockenson (shoulder) and running back D’Andre Swift (groin) were full participants.
