Detroit Lions wide receiver Quintez Cephus has battled numerous injuries since he was drafted by the team in 2020.  

On Wednesday, he returned to practice at the team's Allen Park practice facility, opening his 21-day, return-to-play clock. 

The team will have three weeks to decide to activate him or end his 2022 season. 

The former fifth-round draft pick injured his foot against the Seattle Seahawks, and has missed the past eight games. 

In training camp in August, the young wideout got tangled up with cornerback Jeff Okudah, and fell to the ground awkwardly.

As a result, he missed a couple of weeks of practice, in preparation of his third NFL season. 

In his career, the 24-year-old wideout has secured 37 receptions for 568 yards and four touchdowns. 

Wednesday was the first occasion the team took to the practice field, ahead of its Week 14 matchup with the Minnesota Vikings.

Center Evan Brown also returned to practice, after missing the past couple of games dealing with an ankle injury
