'Real confidence' helps Adams succeed as Rodgers' top target
Green Bay Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers says he could sense early in Davante Adams' career that the wide receiver was capable of big thingsSEPTEMBER 17, 2020 • ASSOCIATED PRESS
Unable to practice Wednesday Trufant (hamstring) didn't participate in Wednesday's practice, Tim Twentyman of the Lions' official site reports.
Impact Trufant suffered a hamstring injury in Week 1's loss to the Bears, but it was revealed that he may be able to play this Sunday against the Packers. He's trending in the wrong direction to start the week, however, as he'll need to at least log a limited session by Friday to have a chance at playing. If he can't go, rookie Jeff Okudah likely will be locked into a three-down workload.

Could play in Week 2 Trufant avoided a serious hamstring injury and may play in Sunday's game versus the Packers, Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reports.
Impact Soft-tissue injuries have run through the Lions' secondary, as Jeff Okudah (hamstring) was inactive for the season opener and Justin Coleman sustained a hamstring injury in Week 1 that landed him on IR. However, Trufant's prognosis is more encouraging with the possibility of missing no game time. The Lions will release an injury report Wednesday that should reveal more about his odds of playing Sunday.

Trubisky throws 3 TDs in 4th to help Bears beat Lions 27-23
Mitchell Trubisky lofted a 27-yard, go-ahead touchdown pass to Anthony Miller with 1:54 remaining and the Chicago Bears held on to beat the Detroit Lions 27-23SEPTEMBER 13, 2020 • ASSOCIATED PRESS
Exits with hamstring injury Trufant suffered a hamstring injury and is questionable to return for the team's Week 1 contest against the Bears, Michael Rothstein of ESPN.com reports.
Impact Trufant was making his debut with the Lions and logged two tackles prior to his exit. If Trufant is unable to return, the team will be dangerously thin at cornerback as Justin Coleman (hamstring) also suffered an injury during the game while Jeff Okudah (hamstring) was unable to suit up.
