The Detroit Lions had a bit of good news on Friday’s injury front, and one notable absence.
According to Colton Pouncy of The Athletic, linebacker Jack Campbell and left tackle Taylor Decker both returned to practice after missing time earlier this week. That’s a positive sign as Detroit prepares for its Monday night clash against the Baltimore Ravens.
But the bad news? Marcus Davenport was once again missing. The veteran defensive end has been dealing with a shoulder injury, and his chances of suiting up against Lamar Jackson and the league’s top-scoring offense appear slimmer by the day.
Campbell and Decker’s returns are big for Detroit. The Lions need Campbell’s physicality in the middle of the defense against Baltimore’s rushing attack, while Decker’s presence at left tackle is critical to protecting quarterback Jared Goff.
Still, the spotlight remains on Davenport. Without him, Aidan Hutchinson and Al-Quadin Muhammad will be counted on to generate pressure off the edge.
The Lions have shown resilience early in 2025, but going into Monday night shorthanded against a Ravens team averaging 40+ points per game is a tall order.
