Lions' Week 11 Thursday Injury Report
The Detroit Lions returned to the practice field Thursday, ahead of a divisional showdown with the Chicago Bears.
Frank Ragnow was added Thursday as a non-participant, as he is dealing with a back and toe issue.
Punt returner Kalif Raymond is among the players on the injury report that returned to action.
In addition to his duties fielding punts, Raymond has been a key part of the passing game. Special teams coordinator Dave Fipp spoke Thursday about the potential backup plans on punt return, should Raymond be unavailable this week.
"Really, it's applicable to right now, because, provided, if Donovan Peoples-Jones were active, he would definitely be an option, and that's a need for us," said special teams coordinator Dave Fipp. "Obviously, he was doing that earlier this year with Cleveland, so that would be an option. St. Brown's always been a great option for us back there. Multiple games, he's kind of been an emergency plan, great ball fielder for us. So, those would be two of them. Khalil's got some experience. We've got a number of guys who could go back there, but those would kind of be kind of the tops of the list."
Peoples-Jones, in his second week as a Lion after being acquired at the trade deadline, has been a full participant in each of the last two practices. Dan Campbell has said he won't debut the newcomer until he is both healthy and comfortable in the offense.
Ifeatu Melifonwu and Levi Onwuzurike were also listed as full participants.
