With the Detroit Lions facing a Monday night game in Week 4, their schedule shifted, making everything a day later than usual.

Thursday marked the start of their practice week, with the injury report outlining who participated and at what levels.

In a typical week with a Sunday game, Thursday’s practice usually provides insight into the status of injured players and their likelihood of appearing on the final injury report.

This week, however, the second practice day fell on Friday, adding intrigue to how the numerous injured players from Week 3, excluding those on injured reserve, would be listed.

Here is the Lions’ practice report for Friday.

C Frank Ragnow (pectoral)-No practice

S Ifeatu Melifonwu (ankle)-No practice

CB Ennis Rakestraw (hamstring)-Limited participant

S Brian Branch (concussion)-Full participant

TE Sam LaPorta (ankle)-Full participant

DT Alim McNeill (shoulder)-Full participant

DT Levi Onwuzurike (knee)-Full participant

OT Dan Skipper (ribs)-Full participant

The second Lions’ injury report for Week 4 brings encouraging news.

Head coach Dan Campbell has already ruled out Frank Ragnow for Monday night, while Ifeatu Melifonwu is set to miss his fourth consecutive game this season—raising questions about why he wasn’t placed on injured reserve earlier.

Alex Anzalone has been removed from the practice report, indicating he has cleared concussion protocol after missing last week’s game.

Brian Branch improved from limited participation on Thursday to a full participant on Friday, suggesting he is making progress through the concussion protocol and has a better chance of playing on Monday night.

Sam LaPorta transitioned from sidelined work on Thursday to a full practice on Friday.

He has reportedly avoided a serious high ankle sprain, making him likely to play on Monday.

Alim McNeill confirmed to Colton Pouncy of The Athletic that he plans to play on Monday, and his full participation in practice on Friday supports this claim.

Levi Onwuzurike, who played through his injury last Sunday, also moved to a full participant on Friday, indicating that Thursday served as a ramp-up day.

Ennis Rakestraw has missed the last two games, but being limited in practice on consecutive days shows a small step forward in his recovery.
