Defensive tackles Nick Fairley and Corey Williams sat out practice today with quad and knee injuries, respectively, as the Detroit Lions get ready for Sunday's game against the Green Bay Packers.
Fairley was hurt late in last week's loss to the Indianapolis Colts and was limited in practice Wednesday. Williams has practiced sparingly the last two months because of a knee injury he had surgery on in September.
Safety Louis Delmas was dressed for practice but did not take part in any individual drills during the 30-minute portion open to the media.

Ndamukong Suh is one of the most physically talented players in the NFL. He’s gifted and has the physical skills — enormous size with speed and quickness to go along with it. Yet, Suh has by and large underachieved in his young NFL career, making headlines for just about everything other than finding success on the football field. In fairness, however, underachieving goes hand...

After intentionally lining up in the wrong spot in Detroit's loss to Green Bay last month, receiver Titus Young is no longer part of the Lions' equation. His childish antics wouldn't fly in Green Bay's carefully crafted locker room.
Close But No Cigar
The Detroit Lions entered this season with high hopes of supplanting the Green Bay Packers atop the NFC North and possibly making a run to the Super Bowl. Instead, they're left with the loser's lament of one play here and one play there en route to a crippling four-game losing streak.
