Lions injury updates: Levy misses practice again

Several Lions were out for Wednesday's practice, including: DeAndre Levy, Alex Carter, Chris Owens, Larry Warford, Caraun Reid, Ezekiel Ansah, Kyle Van Noy, Haloti Ngata and Joique Bell. Levy was out for the second straight day but Lions are not giving a reason for his absence, and there have been no updates about his availability for Friday's game.

Caraun Reid was in a walking boot at Lions facility today.

The Michael Williams trade to New England is official, after passing physical. Lions will receive an undisclosed draft pick.

LB Kevin Snyder, who is on IR, has a couple of broken bones and is sporting a cast on his left hand.

WR Greg Salas discussed the competition for limited spots on the roster:
