Lions' Week 11 Wednesday Injury Report: Stafford Out, Golladay Practices
The Detroit Lions have started their preparations to take on a Carolina Panthers football team that is dealing with a significant injury.
It was reported on Wednesday that star running back Christian McCaffrey would likely miss Sunday's Week 11 matchup with Detroit.
According to a pool report, Lions wide receiver Kenny Golladay, who has missed the past two games with a hip injury, returned to practice on Wednesday.
Detroit's other top receivers in Marvin Jones Jr. and Danny Amendola were not at Wednesday’s practice.
Throughout this week in practice, Detroit's coaching staff is planning to take it easy with Matthew Stafford, as a result of an injury he suffered to the thumb on his throwing hand.
"We’re just trying to be smart with it,” Lions head coach Matt Patricia said during his media session on Wednesday. “Obviously, I think we all know how tough Matthew Stafford is, and he’s going to do everything possible. And for the most part, it’s probably me just trying to slow it down through the course of the week. Sometimes, he gets out there, and gets competitive and likes to do what he knows that he can do. From that standpoint, we’ll take it day-by-day.”
