DeShon Elliott Returns to Lions Practice, Frank Ragnow Not Spotted

The Lions are starting their preparations for the Green Bay Packers.

The Detroit Lions returned to the practice field for the first time Wednesday since defeating the Chicago Bears in the home finale. 

Those not spotted at the portion of practice open to the media included center Frank Ragnow, fullback Jason Cabinda and guard Kayode Awosika. 

DeShon Elliott, who has hinted on social media that he was planning on doing all he could to return this week, returned to practice. 

Rookie cornerback Chase Lucas, who has battled injuries all throughout his rookie season, returned to practice at the team's facility, opening his 21-day evaluation window. 

Detroit head coach Dan Campbell said before practice that the Packers are playing better than they were when the Lions met up with them earlier this season.

"I just think they're running the ball a lot better," said Campbell. "I think they're leaning on it a little bit more, which, in turn, is always going to help. And then, the receivers, there again, (Christian) Watson's a better player. He's gotten better. He's a young guy that's just continually gotten better every game. So, that helps. 13 (Allen Lazard) is healthy. When he came back our last game, that was his first game back. ... He's somebody that I know (Aaron) Rodgers really relies on, and he does a lot for him."
