Lions defensive end Cliff Avril is one of several notable players who missed a second consecutive practice this week.
Avril missed another practice due to his back injury, along with receiver Calvin Johnson (knee), safety Louis Delmas (knee), safety Amari Spievey (concussion) and cornerback Bill Bentley (shoulder), who was placed on injured reserve today.
Lions linebacker Justin Durant (quad), cornerback Jacob Lacey (concussion), linebacker DeAndre Levy (hamstring), tight end Brandon Pettigrew (knee), linebacker Stephen Tulloch (knee), defensive tackle Corey Williams (knee) and receiver Titus Young (knee) were limited in practice.
Meanwhile, running back Mikel Leshoure (not injury related) returned after missing Wednesday's practice due to the birth of his child, while defensive end Kyle Vanden Bosch was on the field after his regularly scheduled day off. Source: MLive.com Attached Thumbnails
