Austin Bryant - Full participant Thursday Bryant (shoulder) was a full participant at Thursday's practice.

Impact Bryant was unavailable in Week 10 and had his reps capped Wednesday, but he increased his workload as a full participant Thursday. Following his absence, the 25-year-old will likely be available Sunday against Cleveland.

Jamaal Williams - Remains limited in practice Williams (thigh) was a limited participant in Thursday's practice.

Impact Williams hasn't completely moved past the thigh issue that has kept him out of action for the Lions' past two games, but the fact that he's opened Week 11 prep with consecutive limited practices is a positive sign with regard to his chances of playing Sunday in Cleveland. Before missing action with the injury, Williams had seen a solid amount of work as the Lions' No. 2 back behind D'Andre Swift (shoulder) averaging 12.4 touches per game through seven outings. Assuming both backs are able to shake off their respective injuries and suit up against the Browns, Williams may not immediately step back into as sizable of a role as he held previously, but he should at least see more work behind Swift than depth options Jermar Jefferson (ankle) and Godwin Igwebuike did in the previous two contests.

D'Andre Swift - Remains limited in practice Swift (shoulder) was a limited participant in Thursday's practice.

Impact Though Swift's shoulder injury has now capped his reps in consecutive practices, the Lions haven't hinted that the issue will prevent the running back from suiting up Sunday in Cleveland. Swift took advantage of No. 2 back Jamaal Williams' (thigh) absence in last week's 16-16 tie with the Steelers to handle a season-high 36 touches (33 carries, three receptions) on a season-high 93 percent snap share, but look for Swift to take a step back in both areas Week 11 in Cleveland. Like Swift, Williams practiced on a limited basis for the second day in a row Thursday and appears to be on a path to play against the Browns.

Corey Ballentine - Back on active roster Ballentine (hamstring) was activated from IR on Thursday.

Impact Ballentine was cleared to return to practice last week, and he has now been added to the active roster. He'll provide depth in the secondary against the Browns on Sunday.

Jermar Jefferson - Still not spotted at practice Jefferson (ankle) didn't take part in Thursday's practice, Tim Twentyman of the Lions' official site reports.

Impact Jefferson remains bothered by the ankle injury he suffered while scoring his bittersweet first NFL touchdown last week against the Steelers. At this point, it would be surprising if Jefferson's able to heal up in time to dress against the Browns on Sunday, though his designation on Friday's injury report will provide a clearer picture of his health.

Jared Goff - Set to miss another practice Goff (oblique) didn't take part in the open portion of Thursday's practice and is set to be listed as a non-participant for the second day in a row, Tim Twentyman of the Lions' off...

Impact The consecutive absences from practice as the Lions prepare for Sunday's game in Cleveland isn't a great early sign for Goff's availability, but the coaching and training staff will wait and see if the signal-caller is able to get back on the field Friday before updating his status. For his part, Goff believes that as long as the oblique injury doesn't affect his "functionality" as a quarterback, he thinks he'll be able to play through the pain in Cleveland, according to Chris Burke of The Athletic. If Goff ultimately can't go Sunday, Tim Boyle (thumb) -- who remains on injured reserve but is taking reps in practice this week -- would likely be activated for his first career NFL start.
