Lions welcome back many injured players to practice

USA Today

The Detroit Lions held a walkthrough practice on Sunday, a day after the home preseason win over the Pittsburgh Steelers. It was a low-key session, but one that saw a lot of the walking wounded return to action for Detroit.

Head coach Dan Campbell revealed a very positive participation report for the Sunday session during his Monday morning meeting with the media. All of the following players were back in action for the walkthrough:

CB Terrion Arnold

CB Carlton Davis

RB Jahmyr Gibbs

TE Sam LaPorta

LB Malcolm Rodriguez

RG Kevin Zeitler

It also marked the practice debut for DT DJ Reader, who was activated off the PUP list after missing all offseason recovering from a torn quadriceps tendon.

All of the returnees except Rodriguez are frontline players for the Lions. Getting them back and having solid practice time ahead of the Week 1 opener against the Los Angeles Rams is very good news.
