Detroit Lions

DJ Wonnum

LB

Wonnum posted back-to-back full practices Wednesday and Thursday while working through a concussion. It's unclear whether he can play in Sunday's matchup against New England, but he appears to be moving in the right direction. The 29-year-old has 14 tackles (eight solo), including 5.0 sacks, and one pass deflection across seven regular-season games.

Brian Branch

S

Branch upgraded his practice status to full participation after beginning the week limited. The 25-year-old has 14 tackles (seven solo) and one interception in three regular-season games.

D.J. Reed

CB

Reed did not participate in practice Wednesday or Thursday due to a hip injury suffered late in Week 8. Rock Ya-Sin and Ennis Rakestraw could see extended playing time for the second straight week in Reed's stead. Reed has 42 tackles (29 solo) and seven pass deflections, including one interception, in seven regular-season games.

Kerby Joseph

S

Joseph was a full participant in practice Thursday, but it appears the Lions are taking a cautious approach to his return. The 25-year-old has one more chance to return from the reserve/PUP list in Week 11 before he becomes ineligible for the remainder of the season.

Cade Mays

C

Mays will sit out a second straight contest as he continues to recover from the high ankle sprain he suffered in Week 8 versus the Vikings. In his absence, Juice Scruggs figures to make another start at center in Week 10.
