The Detroit Lions emerged from their Week 1 victory against the Los Angeles Rams with some injuries.

Heading into Week 2’s game against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, several key players have shown up on the injury report. Offensive tackle Penei Sewell, defensive end Marcus Davenport, wide receiver Jameson Williams, and safety Kerby Joseph are among those affected. Sewell, Davenport, and safety Ifeatu Melifonwu missed their second consecutive practice on Thursday, while Joseph, who had missed Wednesday’s session, was back on the field. Sewell’s injury is an ankle issue from the opener, though he played the entire game. Davenport is dealing with a groin injury, Melifonwu has an ankle problem, and Joseph has a hamstring injury.

Williams was listed as limited on Wednesday but participated in practice again. He is also struggling with an ankle issue. Wide receiver Isaiah Williams joined the injury report on Thursday.

Cornerback Carlton Davis, defensive tackle DJ Reader, and Loren Strickland were full participants in practice. Reader is expected to make his Lions debut on Sunday. Strickland missed last week’s game with a thumb injury, and Melifonwu’s status remains uncertain after missing the opener.
