Isn't he still injured? He might be back. Not sure.
15 players, including eight starters on Detroit Lions' injury report
ALLEN PARK -- The Detroit Lions released their injury report Wednesday afternoon, and it's as long as it has been all season.
We already reported that nine players sat out of practice this morning. The reason for each players' absence has been announced.
Aaron Berry (groin), linebacker Justin Durant (concussion), safety Louis Delmas (abdomen), wide receivers Calvin Johnson (ankle) and Rashied Davis (foot), defensive tackle Nick Fairley (foot), offensive tackle Jason Fox (foot), safety Jason Wendling (knee) and defensive end Kyle Vanden Bosch (rest).
There were also several players who were limited in practice Wednesday, including starters Brandon Pettigrew (shoulder), DeAndre Levy (knee) and cornerback Eric Wright (groin).
Maurice Stovall, who just had a cast removed from his hand, and defensive end Lawrence Jackson (hamstring) were also limited.
Finally, quarterback Matthew Stafford made surprise appearance on the injury report with a right forearm injury. The good news is he was able to fully participate.
Notable injury notes for the Cowboys: Quarterback Tony Romo (ribs) and wide receiver Dez Bryant (thigh bruise) were limited. Receiver Miles Austin (hamstring) and defensive end Jason Hatcher (calf) sat out.
Fully participating for Dallas were running back Felix Jones (shoulder) and cornerback Terrance Newman (concussion).

Impressed watching Stafford work from the "gun" last nite, DET-TB-MIN. Ball out quick, wonder how Ryan gets rushers home. OL struggles...

Suh is not the only player on Lions defense, Williams, Avril, Vanden Bosch, Hill and others cause problems. Push the front, close the edges

Bad matchup at a bad time. The only optomism I can muster is I read that the Lions have won 9 straight games, preseason included. Its the Lions. There's no way in hell they win 10 in a row, right? With that in mind, I say we win the game in some flukey manner, like a blocked field goal returned for a touchdown as time expires. Cowboys 26-Lions 20.
Ugh. The Lions.
In 1991 I worked with a guy named Rick who was a Lions fan. We also lost to them that year in the regular season. I had to put a Lions bumper sticker on my car for a month. I got to take it off on Thanksgiving. Guess what I was thankful for that year.
Hold on one moment, one of my neighbors stopped by and I need to save a small child from a burning house. I'll finish this post once I get back.
Okay, I'm back. In the playoffs it was much worse. I had to get a haircut that cut the Lions logo into one side of my head and the score into the other side and I was not allowed to wear my cap at work so everyone saw my head. To this day I detest Erik Kramer.

Dez Bryant misses practice

IRVING, Texas -- Receiver Dez Bryant did not practice Thursday, but the Dallas Cowboys are optimistic that he will be able to play Sunday against the Detroit Lions.
Bryant is still dealing with the thigh contusion that he suffered during the first quarter of the season opener. He missed Dallas' Week 2 win and only practiced once before playing in Monday night's victory over the Washington Redskins, when he caught four passes for 63 yards. He was limited during Wednesday's light practice.
"When you stress it like you do during the course of a ballgame, sometimes it doesn't bounce back as quickly as you want to," coach Jason Garrett said. "He just has to continue to work his way through it. We're hopeful by the end of the week he can practice a little bit more and be ready to play in the ballgame. We'll take that one day to day."
No. 1 receiver Miles Austin is expected to miss his second consecutive game with a strained hamstring, making Bryant even more important to a Cowboys offense that failed to score a touchdown Monday night.
Quarterback Tony Romo (fractured rib) participated in practice Thursday, but said afterward that he'd likely need another pain-killing injection before Sunday's game against the Lions. Romo had two injections vs. the Redskins.
"It's a fracture," Romo said. "It is what it is. It either feels better or it doesn't. It's nothing really much more."
Fullback Tony Fiammetta (hamstring) didn't practice. Garrett said he hopes Fiammetta will be available Sunday.
Cornerback Orlando Scandrick (high ankle sprain) and kickoff specialist David Buehler (groin) hope to be ready to return after the Cowboys' bye next week. Defensive end Jason Hatcher (calf) could also be ready to play the New England Patriots in Week 6.

Tony Romo on lookout for groomsman
SEP 30 9:55 AM CT
By Todd Archer
http://espn.go.com/blog/dallas/cowboys/post/_/id/4684575/tony-romo-on-lookout-for-groomsmen
IRVING, Texas -- Last week Washington cornerback DeAngelo Hall promised to come after Tony Romo’s injured ribs. Now this week Romo has to worry about Bobby Carpenter targeting the injury.
Romo and Carpenter are best of friends from their four years together with the Cowboys.
“I suspect that he’ll put his friendship aside through the game and come after me when he gets the opportunity,” Romo smiled.
In May Carpenter was one of Romo’s groomsmen, along with tight end Jason Witten. Not getting hit should have been a prerequisite for being in the wedding party, no?
“That wasn’t part of the deal,” said Romo, who was also in Carpenter’s wedding. “I probably should’ve made the stipulation but I forgot at the time.”

Young receivers need to grow up faster
SEP 30 9:05 AM CT
By Calvin Watkins
IRVING -- One of the major story lines this week is the play of the Cowboys' young wide receivers.
It seems, Dez Bryant, Kevin Ogletree and when he's in there Jesse Holley don't know where to lineup or where to go when the ball is snapped.
After they break the huddle, you see quarterback Tony Romo telling one of the receivers he's not in the right spot. The Cowboys were forced to call a timeout vs. Washington last week on a fourth down because there was miscommunication between the receivers and the quarterback. The Cowboys were going to go for it, but decided to punt instead.
On an interception thrown by Romo, Ogletree stopped running in the middle of the route leading to the pass to be picked off. The issues just don't rely with the young players, against the Jets, Miles Austin ran to the corner of the end zone and Romo threw a backshoulder fade at the goalline leading to an incompletion.
"Sometimes they know, and sometimes they don't know," wide receivers coach Jimmy Robinson said. "It's a little bit of everything. I think sometimes we're trying to get guys in the right spots and we sometimes change guys a little bit in midstream to get the right guy we want running a particular route and sometimes it doesn't always get communicated. That's not necessarily the players fault. It sometimes, the coaches fault, sometimes it's my fault. It's a work in progress for all of us. We've all, including myself, have to do a better job, myself at the top of the list, believe me."
Austin has been fantastic this season. He's playing through a hamstring injury, that will keep him out until the Week 6 game at New England. Austin leads the Cowboys with four touchdown receptions, three coming in the Week 2 victory over San Francisco. Of Austin's 14 catches, 11 have been for a first down, which is second on the team to Jason Witten's 12.
It's clear the Cowboys miss Austin's ability to make plays and his knowledge of the offense.
"Anytime you don't have your best receiver out there playing you miss him because he's kinda of the guy that everybody looks to make the plays," Robinson said. "And he certainly is the guy that made the plays in the first two ball games when he was in there."
Robinson said you can't worry about not having Austin because you have to focus on Bryant, Ogletree, Holley, Robinson and rookie Dwayne Harris, who has yet to catch a pass in a NFL game. Bryant is battling through a thigh bruise that forced him to miss the 49ers game, but he played Monday vs. the Redskins.
Romo believes in the young receivers and stressed Ogletree's abilities after Thursday's practice. Yet, it's hard to ignore the confusion of the receivers when they break the huddle sometimes.
"In their defense, sometimes they switch positions," Romo said. "They're not playing the Z or the X. Then all of a sudden your top two guys are out and they have to shuffle them around a little. It's not always as cut and dry that you're at that position all week and boom, all of a sudden, someone else who has been playing has a hammy and you have to go there and now that formation you haven't heard in awhile, are you inside on the bunch or outside. It's not as simple as it sounds."
Robinson, in his first season, after coaching in Green Bay from 2006-to-2010, said the young receivers have to improve.
"We're a work in progress," Robinson said. "I will put it that way. We got a long way to go. We're doing some good things at times, we're not doing it consistently enough, so like I said, we got work to do. I think we are making improvement. It needs to come faster. They're young guys and they're trying and they're doing the best they can, they're working hard, they're into it. They care about it. it's important to them, but we're young and inexperience and we've got a ways to go yet, but we're getting there, but we got to grow up fast."

Bobby Carpenter wouldn't do that to his bestest buddy, would he? Say it aint so. He was one of Romo's groomsmen.
Durant ruled out against Dallas
By Tara Altman
Posted 1 hour ago
After suffering a concussion at Minnesota, linebacker Justin Durant did not participate in practice this week, and has been ruled out for Sunday’s game at Dallas.
Head Coach Jim Schwartz reiterated that concussions are not the type of injury you can work hard at to get back on the field faster, and only time will determine when he’s physically able to play.
“It’s not a situation that you can go tough it out and play,” said Schwartz. “It’s not like a shoulder, or an ankle, or a foot. It’s in a completely different category.”
With Durant being out of the starting line-up, Detroit will likely look to back-up linebacker Bobby Carpenter to fill in alongside Stephen Tulloch and DeAndre Levy.
Both Schwartz and defensive coordinator Gunther Cunningham are more than confident that he’s capable to step in and play well.
“I told Bobby that he is one of our three, actually, he is the fourth, but I treat him like that,” said Cunningham. “I think he is a really good player and I have a lot of confidence in him.
“I know he used to play for the Cowboys, so I am sure he will be ready to put in the best performance he can.”

I don't know much (okay, anything) about Durant, other than he's their leading tackler.
