The Detroit Lions are taking on the Carolina Panthers in Week 16, and after holding a walkthrough on Tuesday, they were back on the practice field on Wednesday.
21-day evaluation clock
The Lions continue to be healthy at wide receiver, so there is no rush to bring Cephus back, and it’s possible they use the entire 21 days to evaluate him. If he is activated for this weekend’s game, that would likely come on Friday.
No practice on Wednesday
- FB Jason Cabinda (illness)
- C Frank Ragnow (foot)
- G Kayode Awosika (ankle)
- OT Matt Nelson (not injury related)
- S DeShon Elliott (shoulder)
Like most players dealing with an illness, the team is taking it slow with Cabinda, hoping things will run their course ahead of the game on Saturday.
