and the Detroit Lions are following that trend as Authentic Matt Prater Jersey they prepare for the Miami Dolphins. During Wednesday’s practice, the Lions saw two key players return to the field: tight end Michael Roberts and offensive guard T.J. Lang. Roberts has been out since Week 2 after suffering an knee injury during the following week of practice. The 2017 fourth-round pick was having a slow start to the season, but he picked up his first career touchdown against the 49ers and could provide some much-needed help at the tight end position.Lang would be a huge boost for the Lions offensive line, if he can give it a go. Against the Cowboys, Lang suffered a concussion that kept him out of the rest of the game and the following week of practice. Lang has suffered at least five concussions in his career, so the Lions may decide to take it slow with his recovery, but practicing is a big step in the league’s concussion protocol.In addition to these returns, a couple of notable players also participated in practice, despite suffering injuries in the last game. Teez Tabor Youth Nevin Lawson Jersey , who left Week 5’s game with a groin injury, was out there on Wednesday, as was Kerryon Johnson, who looked to suffer an ankle injury late against the Packers. Safety Tavon Wilson practiced despite missing last game, and Ezekiel Ansah continues to practice despite not playing since Week 1.The only notable player out—besides Jamal Agnew, who was placed on IR earlier in the week—was running back Theo Riddick. Riddick was at practice—so it wasn’t an excused absence scenario—but he did not participate in any drills during the portion of practice open to the media. Update: Riddick has a knee injury per the Lions’ official Wednesday injury report.Lions-Patriots Wednesday injury report: T.J. Lang, Ezekiel Ansah limited The Detroit Lions may be getting their full starting offensive line back together this week. Wednesday’s injury report indicated that starting guard T.J. Lang, who missed last week’s game with a back injury, was a limited participant on Wednesday. This is a good sign that Lang will be good to go for “Sunday Night Football” against the New England Patriots http://www.lionsauthorizedshops.com/authentic-taylor-decker-jersey , because last week he missed every practice. However, nothing is for certain due to his limited designation. If he isn’t able to go, Kenny Wiggins is expected to take his place. Wiggins started last week against the 49ers and actually ended up as one of the highest rated players in a Lions uniform on Sunday, per Pro Football Focus:Ezekiel Ansah, who also missed last week’s game, was also limited on Wednesday. Last week, Ansah had the same “limited” designation for all three practices, so his status for Sunday remains very much in the air. As expected, Darius Slay missed all of Wednesday’s practice as he makes his way through concussion protocol. But the Lions aren’t the only team banged up on defense. The Patriots were missing two starters at practice on Wednesday. Defensive end Trey Flowers and safety Patrick Chung sat out Authentic Sylvester Williams Jersey , as both suffered concussions in Sunday’s game against the Jacksonville Jaguars. Of course, all eyes at Patriots practice were on newly-added receiver Josh Gordon, who ESPN’s Adam Schefter said was healthy enough to play this week, if New England wants him out there immediately. However, he was on the injury report Wednesday as limited with a hamstring issue.
