There was some good news and bad news from the Detroit Lions injury report after Thursday’s practice ahead of Week 11.
First, the good news. Left tackle Taylor Decker was a full participant in Thursday’s session with his shoulder. Decker missed the Week 10 win in Houston and was listed as a limited participant in Wednesday’s practice. That puts Decker in good position to play in Sunday’s game at Ford Field against the Jacksonville Jaguars.
Linebacker Malcolm Rodriguez also upgraded to a full participant. Rodriguez has missed the last two games with a knee injury.
Now, the bad news…
Starting CB Carlton Davis was downgraded with a hand injury. Davis was not listed on Wednesday’s report, indicating he suffered some form of malady during the session.
Safety Ifeatu Melifonwu also downgraded in status. Still on injured reserve but designated to return from a lingering ankle injury, Melifonwu dropped to a limited participant with a new finger listing.
Tight end Sam LaPorta sat out for the second consecutive day with a shoulder injury. LaPorta is not expected to play against Jacksonville.
