Here's the list of players on Wednesday's injury report for the Detroit Lions:
Did Not Practice
RB Kevin Smith (Ankle), DE Lawrence Jackson (Thigh), DE Kyle Vanden Bosch (Not Injury Related), DT Nick Fairley (Foot), S Louis Delmas (Knee), CB Chris Houston (Knee)
Limited In Practice
OG Rob Sims (Shoulder), DE Willie Young (Ankle), LB Justin Durant (Hamstring), CB Brandon McDonald (Thigh)
The list of players who missed practice is pretty disheartening considering they are all contributors. Vanden Bosch just got a day off, and this early in the week may not be a good indicator of their status for Sunday, but it looks like the defense is going to be pretty thin depth-wise yet again.
Unlike most weeks, the Lions are actually dealing with fewer injuries than their opponent, the Vikings. You can check out Minnesota's injury report for Wednesday after the jump.
