Detroit Lions Week 2 injury report: CB Rashaan Melvin still limited, but improving

Thursday’s Detroit Lions injury report is no different than Wednesday’s, but that may be a little misleading.

Starting cornerback Rashaan Melvin was still officially limited with a knee injury that he’s been dealing with since the preseason, but unlike during Wednesday’s practice, Melvin was participating in individual drills on Thursday.

Last week, Melvin was limited in practice all week but ended up playing against the Arizona Cardinals. Not only did he play, but he thrived, breaking up three passes and allowing just four completions on 11 targets, per PFF.
