Coming off a mercifully timed extended rest following the Week 14 beatdown of the Green Bay Packers, the Detroit Lions are getting a lot healthier heading into Sunday’s matchup with the visiting Buffalo Bills.
Lions head coach Dan Campbell offered some updates on the walking wounded ahead of Friday’s practice session. He started with defensive lineman Josh Paschal,
“So, looks like Paschal’s gotten through the week pretty good thus far.”
Campbell then continued, hitting on a few other players who have missed time with injuries lately. He noted “as well” in conjunction with Paschal for all the following, indicating they are getting through the week well:
DT DJ Reader
LT Taylor Decker
DT Levi Onwuzurike
In addition, Campbell revealed that DT Alim McNeill has cleared the NFL’s concussion protocol and will be available to play in Sunday’s big game.
Campbell capped off the injury update by noting,
“We’re trending the right way with all those guys.”
The official injury status report comes out later on Friday.
