As the Detroit Lions (6-4) prepare to take on the Minnesota Vikings (8-2) on Thanksgiving Day, they got a familiar face back at practice. Star defensive end Ezekial Ansah was back at practice this week, and although he was a limited participant, its a good sign for the Lions. If Ansah is able to play on Thursday it would be huge for the Detroit defense as he would help in stopping the run on the outside and provide a solid pass rush.

Another key player that the Lions got back to practice this week is linebacker Jalen Reeves-Maybin. Although only a depth player, getting Reeves-Maybin back as a full participant in practice is huge for the Lions defense because it provides them with more flexibility at that position.
