D'Andre Swift - Not expected to play Sunday Coach Dan Campbell said Swift (shoulder) is "unlikely" to play Sunday against the Broncos, Eric Woodyard of ESPN.com reports.
Impact Swift was unable to practice Wednesday and Thursday as he continues to manage a sprained AC joint in his shoulder, and it appears he'll be sidelined for his second straight game Sunday. If the 2020 second-round pick is unavailable, Jamaal Williams is poised for another start in the backfield, with Godwin Igwebuike and Jermar Jefferson (illness) set to serve as the secondary options.

Bobby Price - Added to COVID-19 list Price was placed on the reserve/COVID-19 list Thursday.
Impact The loss of Price hurts the depth at the cornerback position, but it's worth noting he's played fewer than 15 percent of the defensive snaps in each of Detroit's last seven contests. His loss will open the door for names such as Ifeatu Melifonwu and Mark Gilbert to see more snaps.

Jermar Jefferson - Sitting with illness Jefferson didn't practice Thursday due to an illness.
Impact Jefferson wasn't listed on Wednesday's injury report, so the ailment is a new development. The 21-year-old may need to return to practice in some capacity Friday to have a chance of suiting up this weekend at Denver.

T.J. Hockenson - Sits out Thursday's practice Hockenson (hand) didn't practice Thursday.
Impact During the portion of Thursday's session open to the media, Hockenson was spotted with a heavy tape job on his left hand, according to Justin Rogers of The Detroit News. Hockenson's downgrade from limited Wednesday to no activity one day later may merely be maintenance-related, but Friday's injury report will relay whether the tight end is in possible danger of sitting out this weekend.

Jared Goff - Returns to full practice Goff (illness) practiced fully Thursday.
Impact The Lions listed 10 players with illness next their names on their second injury report of Week 14, but Goff was the only one to log every practice rep. With his health cleared up ahead of Sunday's game in Denver, he may again be without D'Andre Swift (shoulder) this weekend, while T.J. Hockenson's (hand) status is also in question.

D'Andre Swift - Doesn't practice Thursday Swift (shoulder) didn't practice Thursday.
Impact With no practice reps to speak of so far this week due to an AC joint sprain, Swift seems destined for a second consecutive absence as the Lions prepare for Sunday's contest at Denver. Jermar Jefferson (illness) joined Swift on the sideline Thursday, leaving Jamaal Williams and Godwin Igwebuike as Detroit's healthy running backs on the active roster. Friday's injury report may clear up the state of his backfield heading into the weekend.
