Second injury report for the Lions in Week 7 is very scary for their game against the Vikings

While the Detroit Lions initiated their preparations for a significant Week 7 matchup against the Minnesota Vikings on Wednesday, reporters on the scene expressed some concern regarding the open portion of practice. However, the injury report for the day was not as severe as it appeared to be.

Especially when notable names are included in a team’s initial injury report of a typical week, Wednesday injury reports can be simple to overreact to. However, they are also difficult to extract a significant amount of information from, as they frequently involve general leisure days or restricted participation as a result of a relatively minor injury.

However, the encounter on Thursday will be more significant in terms of the player’s inclusion in the final injury report of the week on Friday. In that regard, the Lions are facing a significant prospective concern with respect to Sunday’s game.

The Lions’ practice summary for Thursday is provided below.

The second Detroit Lions injury in Week 7 has raised significant concerns.

CB Carlton Davis (quad): Non-participant

OG Kevin Zeitler (groin): Limited participation

Database Brian Branch: Full participant (knee)

C Frank Ragnow (reserve): Active participant

Full participant: Dan Skipper, OT (ribs)

OG Christian Mahogany (illness)-Complete participant

Davis withdrew from the Cowboys’ Week 6 game; however, he successfully completed the concussion protocol and had the opportunity to return had the game not been a rout. He has now missed the first two days of the practice week due to the quad injury, which is a new (or previously undisclosed) issue.

On Wednesday, Ragnow and Zeitler were granted veteran rest days. On Thursday, Zeitler was added to the injury report as a limited player as a result of a groin issue.

After being restricted on Wednesday, Branch resumed a complete practice.

After failing to practice on Wednesday, Skipper was a full participant on Thursday.

Mahogany is recuperating from an ailment that prevented him from participating in training camp. He has 11 days remaining in the 21-day window to be added to the active roster, or he will be subject to season-ending injury.

Of course, the Lions will be confronted with Justin Jefferson this week, whom defensive coordinator Aaron Glenn referred to as the “best wide receiver in the NFL” during his Thursday press conference. Davis is expected to face Jefferson on Sunday, and if he is unable to do so, Kindle Vildor would be the likely replacement. Vildor is not a starting-caliber NFL cornerback, and the Vikings will have a target on his back if he is selected. I mean no disrespect to him. Ennis Rakestraw, a rookie, may also be eligible for a more significant role.
