Thursday’s injury report brings mostly good news for the Titans and continued concern for some of Detroit’s key players. Let’s get into it…
Titans
| Player | Wednesday | Thursday | Friday | Status |
| T Dennis Kelly (Knee) | DNP | DNP | ||
| G Rodger Saffold (Toe) | DNP | DNP | ||
| DT Jeffery Simmons (Knee) | DNP | Full | ||
| TE Geoff Swaim (Ankle) | DNP | DNP | ||
| S Kenny Vaccaro (Illness) | DNP | Limited | ||
| WR A.J. Brown (Ankle) | Limited | DNP | ||
| CB Kristian Fulton (Knee) | Limited | Full | ||
| CB Adoree Jackson (Knee) | Limited | Limited | ||
| C Ben Jones (Knee) | Limited | Full | ||
| RB Derrick Henry (Not Injury Related) | — | Limited |
THOUGHTS
Simmons, Jones, and even Fulton all returned to full participation. Vaccaro was back in a limited fashion. The coaching staff appears to have given Henry some time off today, and I’d assume the same is true for A.J. Brown.
The players to keep an eye on are Kelly, Saffold, and Swaim. We’ll have to see what happens on Friday.
Jackson was on the field as part of the scout team again. His return will likely be delayed at least another week. I would expect we see him practice in full multiple days in a row before he makes his return.
Fulton’s full participation is the most promising development of the day. It’d be great to get him back against Detroit and give him as many live reps as possible, for his own development.
Lions
| Player | Wednesday | Thursday | Friday | Status |
| LB/FB Jason Cabinda (Illness) | DNP | Full | ||
| OL Tyrell Crosby (Ankle) | DNP | DNP | ||
| WR Kenny Golladay (Hip) | DNP | DNP | ||
| DL Da’Shawn Hand (Ankle) | DNP | DNP | ||
| C Frank Ragnow (Throat) | DNP | DNP | ||
| CB Darryl Roberts (Hip) | DNP | DNP | ||
| QB Matthew Stafford (Rib/Right Thumb) | DNP | DNP | ||
| DT John Penisini (Shoulder) | Limited | Limited | ||
| RB Adrian Peterson (Forearm) | Limited | Full | ||
| S Tracy Walker (Shoulder) | Limited | Full | ||
| DE Austin Bryant (Thigh) | Full | Full | ||
| S C.J. Moore (Ankle) | Full | Full |
THOUGHTS
The key players to watch for Detroit are QB Matthew Stafford, C Frank Ragnow, and WR Kenny Golladay. I touched on all three guys in yesterday’s report, but none of the three appear on track to play this weekend.
Much more tangible information to come tomorrow…
