The Detroit Lions injury report got a little longer on Thursday, but arguably a little better. While starters Kenny Golladay, Halapoulivaati Vaitai, and Desmond Trufant remained out of practice—putting all three in serious doubt of playing this week against the Green Bay Packers—backup cornerback Darryl Roberts returned to practice in a limited fashion.
That opens up the possibility of Roberts to start a nickel cornerback after the Lions lost Justin Coleman to IR after suffering a hamstring in Week 1.
