The Detroit Lions are relatively healthy entering their Week 13 contest against the New Orleans Saints.

The additional time off following the annual Thanksgiving Day Classic allowed Detroit's roster to recover from three physical games in a span of only 11 days.

Linebacker Alex Anzalone was the only member of the roster not spotted Wednesday at the team's Allen Park practice facility.

"Certainly a little recovery, that's big. Just a little bit of rest and recovery when you have two games in five days or four days. That goes a long ways. Just having three days to kind of shake some of that off," said Dan Campbell. "But, it also gives you a minute to step back and really, like I mentioned, you get a chance because of that fact, two games in five days, you can go back and watch Chicago. You can go back and watch Green Bay, and kind of gather your thoughts in a two-game sequence, where can we really help and get a little bit better. Those go a long way, on top of the fact that now you're getting ready for this opponent."

Left guard Jonah Jackson, who has battled multiple injuries this season, was spotted at practice.

Detroit's offensive line collectively had one of its worst performances against the Packers, which contributed to veteran signal-caller Jared Goff's struggles.

With Jackson potentially returning, Detroit's offense will have the ability to get into rhythm sooner, and look less out of sorts on the road against the Saints.
