- After practicing at Novi High School on Wednesday night, the Detroit Lions returned to Allen Park for an afternoon practice on Thursday.
-
DeAndre Levy was among the players absent from practice on Thursday. Considering he literally just signed his contract extension earlier in the day, I would assume that he was given the afternoon off or is simply nursing an extremely minor injury.
-
Jerel Worthy was able to practice after having an injury scare on Wednesday.
-
Joseph Fauria seemingly suffered an injury of some sort during Thursday's practice.

Alex Carter and LaAdrian Waddle remained out, but it sounds like they're both making some progress:
Alex Carter doing some very light jogging and back peddling off to the side today. He's been sidelined all week with a sprained ankle.

- Per Josh Katzenstein, Josh Wilson got a chance to return kicks on Thursday.
- The Lions mixed things up a bit by having their defensive position coaches work with players at other spots on the roster.
Lions defenders cross-training today. DBs, LBs and DL all working with coaches of other positions in drills.

- This is nice to see:
Kyle Van Noy with a nice rush off the edge to sack Stafford. Didn't fall for the play action.

- This is very nice to see:
Eric Ebron with a couple more nice catches today, including one over right coverage from Abdul-Quddus

Darius Slay certainly isn't afraid to let you know about it when someone on defense makes a play.
