T.J. Hockenson - Sits out practice Hockenson (knee) didn't participate in Wednesday's practice.
Impact The Lions haven't suggested that Hockenson suffered any sort of setback with his lingering knee injury coming out of the team's Week 6 loss to the Bengals, so his absence from Wednesday's session may have been for maintenance purposes more than anything. Though he failed to find the end zone for the fourth straight game last week, Hockenson tied his season high with 11 targets and caught eight balls for 74 yards.

D'Andre Swift - Limited by groin again Swift (groin) was listed as a limited participant at Wednesday's practice.
Impact The groin injury that first cropped up in training camp has continued to affect Swift's practice reps, but the issue hasn't prevented him from playing in games and seemingly hasn't impacted his usage either. He's played more than 70 percent of the Lions' offensive snaps in each of the last three weeks, averaging 15.7 touches per game over that stretch.

Taylor Decker - Could miss season Decker (finger) could be shut down for the rest of season, according to Chris Burke of The Athletic.
Impact Decker was placed on injured reserve Sept. 11. He then returned to practice on Oct. 13. Now, though, head coach Dan Campbell is saying there's a chance Decker will be shut down for the season at the end of his three-week IR return window. Decker still has two weeks to be ready, so it's certainly too soon to say anything definitive. Decker has started every game he has played for the Lions since being drafted in the first round in 2016. The Lions 2021 first-rounder Penei Sewell has been filling Decker's role, while Matt Nelson has been playing right tackle.

Geronimo Allison - Inked to active roster The Lions signed Allison to the active roster from the practice squad Wednesday.
Impact Allison handled 12 offensive snaps (20 percent) and 15 special-teams snaps (60 percent) during Week 6's loss to the Bengals, though he wasn't targeted in the contest. With Quintez Cephus (collarbone) out for the season and Tyrell Williams (concussion) still not back from IR, Allison now looks set to play a similar depth role versus the Rams in Week 7.
