On Thanksgiving Day, the Detroit Lions (6-4) will host the Minnesota Vikings (8-2) at Ford Field in what is being advertised as one of the biggest Turkey Day games in Lions history.
With a win, the Lions would move to within one game of the Vikings for first place in the NFC North, while Detroit loss would give Minnesota a commanding 3-game lead with just five games to go.
On Monday, neither the Lions nor the Vikings practiced, but the initial injury report for the week was released. As noted, the designations on the report are based on estimations.

After looking at that report, it is interesting to note that defensive end Ziggy Ansah is listed as limited practice, which could be a sign for those hoping to see him return to the field.
