Lions Injury Report: Key Players Sidelined for Week 15
12 Dec
Summary
- Safety Kerby Joseph downgraded to non-participant due to knee injury.
- Offensive tackle Taylor Decker misses second practice with shoulder issue.
- Alex Anzalone returns to practice Thursday; Joseph's status uncertain.
The Detroit Lions are navigating several player availability concerns as they approach their Week 15 matchup. Linebacker Alex Anzalone has rejoined practice as a full participant, alleviating worries about his recent illness. This positive development contrasts with the status of safety Kerby Joseph, who has been downgraded to a non-participant after experiencing knee issues.
Joseph's limited participation this week follows a similar pattern to the lead-up to the Cowboys game, where he practiced only once. The team also noted that offensive tackle Taylor Decker missed his second consecutive practice, an unusual occurrence for the player who typically receives a rest day for his shoulder injury.
Other players like Brian Branch continue to appear on the injury report without an official designation for injured reserve. Several other key players, including Kayode Awosika, Thomas Harper, Christian Mahogany, Kalif Raymond, Sione Vaki, and Shane Zylstra, were all limited in practice for the second day, indicating ongoing health challenges across the roster.
