Allen Park — Multiple Detroit Lions were either absent from Thursday's practice or left early to be evaluated for potential injuries.
Quarterback Teddy Bridgewater, running back Isiah Pacheco, offensive lineman Juice Scruggs and cornerback D.J. Reed — all of whom did not have any previously known injuries — were not spotted Thursday.
Running back Sione Vaki (nose, eye) and linebackers Malcolm Rodriguez (ankle) and Jimmy Rolder (hamstring), as well as defensive ends Derrick Moore (groin) and Payton Turner (back), also were not spotted, though we know each of the injuries they're dealing with.
Vaki will be "out for a little bit," Lions coach Dan Campbell said Tuesday; Rodriguez left early from Tuesday's practice; Rolder will be down for "a while;" Moore is expected to be back within the next week or so; and there's no been no update on Turner, who popped up with a stiff back after Detroit's first session of training camp July 29.
Defensive lineman Mekhi Wingo (groin) and cornerback De'Shawn Rucker (ankle) were early exits Thursday. It was an extremely humid day in Allen Park, and a number of players were either absent or limited due to cramping.
Tight end Tyler Conklin (calf) returned Thursday, but not did take part in team drills. Running back Jahmyr Gibbs, holding in for a contract extension, was on the field and in pads for the first in training camp, but he only went through walkthroughs and team stretching before working on the side with a trainer.
Of course, the six Lions who are on injured lists did not participate in practice: Wide receiver Kendrick Law (ACL), tight ends Anthony Firkser (fibula) and Miles Kitselman (leg), offensive lineman Giovanni Manu (undisclosed) and safeties Brian Branch (Achilles) and Kerby Joseph (knee).
