The mysterious absence of Detroit Lions cornerback Chris Houston from Thursday's practice was answered earlier in the afternoon when Houston posted a message on the social network site Instagram acknowledging he was battling flu-like symptoms.
Houston (illness) was one of 12 players listed on Thursday's injury report.
Defensive end Cliff Avril (back), safety Louis Delmas (knee), wide receiver Calvin Johnson (knee), safety Amari Spievey (concussion), defensive tackle Corey Williams (knee) and wide receiver Titus Young (knee) did not practice.
Safety Erik Coleman (toe) and offensive tackle Corey Hilliard were limited, while running back Mikel Lehsoure (ankle) and linebackers DeAndre Levy (hamstring) and Stephen Tulloch (knee) were full participants.
It was the first time in three weeks that Levy was able to fully participate, a positive sign regarding his availability for this Sunday's game against Minnesota. Source: MLive.com Attached Thumbnails

ALLEN PARK, Mich. -- In many ways, the first half of this Detroit Lions season has gone the complete opposite of how most would have expected.
