Detroit Lions Rule Three Players Out Against Cowboys
In preparation for their game against the Dallas Cowboys on Saturday, the Detroit Lions announced their injury list. As he continues his recuperation from a torn pec sustained earlier in the season, safety C.J. Gardner-Johnson has been ruled out.
The team hadn’t made a decision regarding his status, according to coach Dan Campbell on Thursday. James Houston was also ruled out, despite the fact that tight end Brock Wright made his first practice return since Week 2. Houston sustained an ankle fracture and is still listed as injured. Wright’s hip issue kept him out of last week’s match against Minnesota.
Cornerback Cam Sutton is questionable and was a late add to the injury report with a toe injury. He did not participate in the portion of practice open to the media Thursday.
Jason Cabinda, the fullback, was brought off injured reserve and is anticipated to play on Saturday. Taylor Decker, an offensive tackle, is also anticipated to participate despite having a groin issue noted on the injury report. As a precaution, the veteran did not participate in practice on Wednesday.
Campbell assured them, “He’s good, he’ll be good.” “Yeah, he’ll be out there, we’re just being smart with him.” In other news, linebacker Derrick Barnes, who was sidelined by a shoulder injury sustained last week against Minnesota, may return to action for the Lions.
Jerry Jacobs and Barnes have both participated fully every day this week. Brock Wright is the Lions’ Week 17 injury report for Wednesday.
