Lions-Patriots Wednesday injury report: T.J. Lang, Ezekiel Ansah limited

The Detroit Lions may be getting their full starting offensive www.thelionsfootballauthentic.com line back together this week. Wednesday’s injury report indicated that starting guard T.J. Lang, who missed last week’s game with a back injury, was a limited participant on Wednesday. This is a good sign that Lang will be good to go for “Sunday Night Football” against the New England Patriots, because last week he missed every practice. However, nothing is for certain due to his limited designation. If he isn’t able to go, Kenny Wiggins is expected to take his place. Wiggins started last week against the 49ers and actually ended up as one of the highest rated players in a Lions uniform on Sunday, per Pro Football Focus:Ezekiel Ansah, who also missed last week’s game Detroit Lions T-Shirt , was also limited on Wednesday. Last week, Ansah had the same “limited” designation for all three practices, so his status for Sunday remains very much in the air. As expected, Darius Slay missed all of Wednesday’s practice as he makes his way through concussion protocol. But the Lions aren’t the only team banged up on defense. The Patriots were missing two starters at practice on Wednesday. Defensive end Trey Flowers and safety Patrick Chung sat out, as both suffered concussions in Sunday’s game against the Jacksonville Jaguars. Of course, all eyes at Patriots practice were on newly-added receiver Josh Gordon, who ESPN’s Adam Schefter said was healthy enough to play this week, if New England wants him out there immediately. However Detroit Lions Hats , he was on the injury report Wednesday as limited with a hamstring issue.

The defensive back looked like he could have been an early candidate to lock up a roster spot after he was getting starting reps early in training camp. Milligan was less than stellar in preseason, though, and played his way off of the rosterThe safety was brought in as an undrafted free agent out of Toledo earlier this year. He was set to compete with the likes of Miles Killebrew and serve as a box safety in the team’s nickel and dime packages. He often looked lost on the field and his tackling was terrible in what was a rough month of football. Milligan is eligible for the practice squad. The Lions coaching staff does see some potential in him—which is why they initially gave him first and second team snaps. He will most likely clear waivers and it is possible that the Lions keep him around for next year. However, Milligan suffered an injury in the last preseason game, so it’s unclear yet if he was given an injury designation with the transaction. If so, Milligan could spend the year on the Lions’ injured reserve list.
