Jalen Elliott - Gets activated off COVID-19 list The Lions activated Elliott off of their reserve/COVID-19 list Wednesday, Dan Salomone of the Giants' official site reports.
Impact Elliott has cleared the league's health and safety protocols, and will be eligible to return to the team. The safety will return to his strong safety reserve role behind Will Harris.

Will Holden - Ready to return Holden (undisclosed) is not on the injury report ahead of the Lions' game with the Falcons Sunday.
Impact Holden missed the Lions' win over the Cardinals on Sunday due to the undisclosed reason. He should now be ready to return to face the Falcons on Sunday. With reserve offensive tackle Matt Nelson on the reserve/COVID-19 list, Holden could be looking at extra snaps if Taylor Decker or Penei Sewell need a breather.

Amani Oruwariye - Unable to practice Wednesday Oruwariye (thumb) didn't participate in Wednesday's practice session.
Impact Oruwariye recorded his sixth interception of the season during Sunday's win over the Cardinals but is managing a thumb injury ahead of Week 16. He'll likely need to practice in some form if he hopes to play Sunday against Atlanta.
DECEMBER 22, 2021 • ROTOWIRE
Tracy Walker III - Not on injury report Walker (illness) wasn't listed on the injury report for Wednesday's practice session.
Impact Walker missed the last two games after he tested positive for COVID-19, but it appears as though he'll be back in action for Sunday's matchup against Atlanta. He should serve as the Lions' starting free safety in Week 16.
DECEMBER 22, 2021 • ROTOWIRE
Kalif Raymond - Limited Wednesday Raymond was a limited participant in Wednesday's practice due to a shoulder injury.
Impact Raymond secured two of three targets for 20 yards in Sunday's win over the Cardinals, but he apparently sustained the shoulder injury at some point during the matchup. The severity of the issue isn't yet clear, but Tom Kennedy and KhaDarel Hodge could be called upon to play more snaps at receiver if Raymond is sidelined this weekend against Atlanta.
DECEMBER 22, 2021 • ROTOWIRE
Josh Reynolds - Still limited at practice Reynolds was limited by a thigh injury at Wednesday's practice.
Impact Reynolds capped last week with back-to-back limited sessions and was handed a questionable designation for this past Sunday's game against Arizona. He proceeded to up and handle a slightly reduced workload (63 percent of offensive snaps) on his way to hauling in all six targets for 68 yards and one touchdown in the 30-12 win. Reynolds will have two more chances this week to bump up to full, or else potentially risk entering another weekend with a game-day designation.
