Also out was defensive tackle Nick Fairley, who was "limping noticeably," according to The Detroit News' Chris McCosky.

That's what I'm hoping

So it looks like Fox returned to practice? Hopefully we start seeing him get some snaps. We need him sooner rather than later….

Yeah the detnews link he says resting

It’s just sore. He won’t miss the game. Stafford is obviously going to play, 4 more days to let it heal so he should be fine if he is already practicing and not limping. I’m looking for the offense to get back on track big time, just like Nate is saying. We need a statement in the next couple weeks. They should be able to establish the run against the small Denver defense.
