The final Detroit Lions injury status report for the Week 17 matchup with the Dallas Cowboys is, mercifully, a brief list. Only two players on the active roster carry any injury status at all into Saturday night’s game in Dallas.
Tight end Brock Wright will miss his second straight game with a hip injury. He is the only active player ruled out.
Starting cornerback Cam Sutton is questionable with a toe injury. Sutton was a full participant in the first two practices of the week but was limited by the new injury on Thursday.
Two players still on injured reserve but designated to return will not be activated this week, either. The Lions ruled out both DB C.J. Gardner-Johnson and EDGE James Houston. Thursday was Houston’s first practice since he suffered a serious ankle injury in Week 2.
Cornerback Jerry Jacobs and LB Derrick Barnes are both without injury designation a week after missing the Week 16 game with injuries. Left tackle Taylor Decker was also a full participant on Thursday and carries no injury status into Dallas.
One last note: Fullback Jason Cabinda was not given an injury designation, a good sign that he’s going to be activated from I.R. for the game.
