Lions, Packers injury news: Terrion Arnold returns to practice

The Detroit Lions (7-4) and Green Bay Packers (7-3-1) have declared their initial Week 13 injury reports as they prepare to square off in an NFC North showdown on Thanksgiving Day.

With the short week ahead, the Lions are planning on running walkthroughs (the Packers are expected to do the same) as they position themselves to allow their bodies to recover from their overtime win over the Giants last Sunday. That means this week’s practice participation levels will be estimated by the coaching staff, projecting each injured player’s involvement had there been a regular practice on that day.

Let’s take a look at the latest injury report and get you up to date with what we know. Note: Any changes from the last injury report will be bolded.

Injured list updates

• TE Sam LaPorta (back, IR) — Likely out for the season after surgery
• TE Shane Zylstra (ankle, IR)
• LT Giovanni Manu (knee, IR)
• LG Christian Mahogany (knee, IR) — eligible to return in Week 14
• G Miles Frazier (knee, PUP) — injury evaluation clock has started
• EDGE Marcus Davenport (shoulder, IR) — injury evaluation window has started
• EDGE Josh Paschal (back, NFI) — injury evaluation window has started
• LB Zach Cunningham (hamstring, IR) — eligible to return at any time

The bad news:

It looks like Sam LaPorta is done for the year. Last Friday, Lions coach Dan Campbell revealed that the All-Pro tight end’s back required surgery and his recovery time will likely end his season.

“Sam did have a procedure, and he’s going to be out for a while, a while,” Campbell said. “I think we would be fortunate to have a chance to get him back for the rest of the season at some point. I think that (chance) is very, very slim.”

The good news:

The Lions were able to remove linebacker Malcolm Rodriguez (PUP), corner D.J. Reed (IR), and corner Khalil Dorsey (IR) from their injury reports over the weekend, while edge rusher Josh Paschal and rookie guard Miles Frazier are in the final days of their injury windows. Edge rusher Marcus Davenport still has over a week remaining in his evaluation window, but it’s possible we see him before that expiration date.

No practice

• WR Kalif Raymond (ankle) — Injured in Week 12
• TE Brock Wright (neck) — Injured in Week 12
• C Graham Glasgow (knee) — Downgrade
• S Kerby Joseph (knee)

Raymond was injured in Week 12 and was forced from the game. He was spotted in the locker room walking with a limp and exited with a walking boot, likely for precautionary reasons. It’s not surprising that he would not be available to practice on Monday, and there is likely some concern surrounding his ability to recover ahead of Thursday’s game.

Wright was briefly looked at by trainers after taking a big hit on the sidelines, but finished the game. It’s hard to know at this point...
