Detroit Lions practice report: Quandre Diggs practices with cast, Ezekiel Ansah returns

The Detroit Lions Ricky Wagner Jersey returned to practice on Wednesday, and they were actually a little more healthy than expected.Most notably, Quandre Diggs, who reportedly broke his hand during Week 4’s game against the Dallas Cowboys, was at practice and appeared to go through all of the individual drills. He did have a cast on his left hand, all but confirming Ian Rapoport’s report that he broke his hand. At this point, the Lions are at least testing out whether Diggs will be able to play with that cast on his hand. Elsewhere along the secondary, Tavon Wilson was present during individual drills. Wilson suffered a back injury against the Cowboys and only played four snaps. His attendance at practice is a good sign he may be ready in time for Aaron Rodgers and the Packers this Sunday.Additionally, Wednesday saw the return Ezekiel Ansah. The Lions’ Pro Bowl defensive end has missed three straight games because of a shoulder injury. Puzzlingly, Ansah had been practicing every day http://www.lionscheapshop.com/cheap-authentic-christian-jones-jersey , looking like he was on his way to recovery, but he regressed and missed every practice last week. His return on Wednesday is certainly a step in the right direction, but he still has a long way to go to prove he’ll be ready on game day. That being said, there were some curious absences. Running back LeGarrette Blount was not present, nor was linebacker Eli Harold. Neither appeared to leave Sunday’s game with an injury. For Harold, though, there could be a different possibility. His wife was eight months pregnant when the Lions traded for him last month... so... math would mean his wife is now nine months pregnant... As expected, T.J. Lang was also not at practice. He suffered a concussion on Sunday, and even if he was on track to play this week—which seems highly unlikely—Wednesday would be a pretty early return to the practice field. Full injury reports will be released later on Wednesday.FanPulse: Lions fans’ confidence in team direction cut in half after Week 1 blowout loss Welcome to SB Nation FanPulse — a survey of fans across the NFL, powered by SurveyMonkey. Each week http://www.lionscheapshop.com/cheap-authentic-legarrette-blount-jersey , we send 32 polls to 100+ plugged in fans from each team. Lions fans, sign up HERE to join FanPulse.Last week, our FanPulse surveys debuted and Detroit Lions fans seemed cautiously optimistic about the 2018 season. 68 percent of polled fans were confident in the direction of the team. While some had been shaken by the poor preseason performance from Matt Patricia’s crew, the majority of fans still believed the Lions’ trajectory was headed upwards.Then Monday night happened:How confident are you in the direction of the team? Last week: 68 percent confidenceLions fans have quickly jumped ship with many already wondering if firing Jim Caldwell was the right thing to do. Rumors are floating that some veteran players are unhappy with Patricia’s methods, and general manager Bob Quinn is also facing a ton of criticism.As a result, fan confidence has dropped more than half in just one week. Last week, 68 percent of fans were confident in the direction of the team. That number is now just 32 percent. Additionally, only 11 percent were “not very confident” or “not confident prior to Monday. That number has nearly tripled to 31 percent. He may or may not have lost some players in the locker room, but it’s abundantly clear Matt Patricia has lost some fans in just one week.Will the Lions win or lose in Week 2?Odds: 49ers are 7-point favoritesNiners Nation FanPulse: 49ers by 7Pride Of Detroit FanPulse: Lions by 1Interestingly enough, despite the clear lack in confidence Cheap Marvin Jones Jr Jersey , Lions fans are still, on average, picking them to pull off a pretty significant upset on the road this week against the San Francisco 49ers. Vegas’ odds have skyrocketed to favor the 49ers by a touchdown, and while our friends at Niners Nation think that’s about right, Lions fans still think Detroit will move to 1-1.Other than QB, what is most valuable to an NFL offense? Our national poll this week deals with the most important non-quarterback position on offense. Considering how much we’ve seen Matthew Stafford get beat up over his entire career, I’m guessing most Lions fans are with the majority here. Left tackle beat the field by a large margin, and NFL general managers seem to agree. In general, teams are willing to pay left tackles and wide receivers more than any other offensive position outside of quarterback.
