Swift, Decker, Ragnow, Kraemer Absent from Wednesday Practice

The Detroit Lions returned to the practice field Wednesday to begin their preparation for the Washington Commanders.

Detroit was without several significant members of its offense at its mid-week practice.

The list included D'Andre Swift, Tommy Kraemer, Taylor Decker, Michael Brockers and Frank Ragnow, all of whom failed to participate in the portion of practice that was open to media in attendance.

Detroit's coaching staff has made a concerted effort to attempt to keep the roster healthy, by limiting the practice reps of veteran members of the roster.

Ragnow is being limited this week at practice, and is considered day-to-day after his performance in Week 1 against the Philadelphia Eagles.

Levi Onwurike injury update

The second-year defensive lineman has not suffered any setbacks in his rehabilitation process, but his recovery has not been progressing at the rate the coaching staff would have hoped for.

“Yeah, just, it’s still the same issue, and it’s just – there again, it’s just slow-going right now," said Dan Campbell earlier this week. "So, we don’t feel like there’s a setback, but yet, it’s just not progressing the way that we would hope.”
