Corey Ballentine - Misses practice Wednesday Ballentine (hamstring) missed the Lions' practice Wednesday, Tim Twentyman of the Lions' official site reports.
Impact Ballentine injured his hamstring during Sunday's Week 5 loss to the Vikings and was forced to exit the game early. The cornerback was unable to practice Wednesday, which could mean Julian Okwara and Charles Harris are both in line for increased snaps Sunday against the Bengals.

Trey Flowers - DNP on Wednesday Flowers didn't participate at Wednesday's practice due to a knee injury, Tim Twentyman of the Lions' official site reports.
Impact Flowers missed the past two games with a shoulder injury before putting up five tackles and a sack against the Vikings on Sunday, but he's now dealing with a knee issue. It remains to be seen if the new injury affects his availability for Week 6.

Amani Oruwariye - Sitting out Wednesday Oruwariye (hip) was a non-participant at Wednesday's practice, Tim Twentyman of the Lions' official site reports.
Impact Oruwariye recorded a season-high nine tackles during Sunday's loss to the Vikings while playing every defensive snap, but he apparently tweaked his hip at some point during the contest. The 25-year-old will likely need to practice in some form Thursday or Friday to have a chance of suiting up this weekend.

Jamaal Williams - Limited with shoulder injury Williams (shoulder) was a limited practice participant Wednesday, Tim Twentyman of the Lions' official site reports.
Impact It's the same issue Williams played through last week when he took 15 touches for 65 yards in a 19-17 loss to Minnesota. His pass-catching involvement has been a disappointment since Week 1, but Williams does have seven or more carries in every game this year, including a dozen or more in three straight. He and D'Andre Swift will face an improved-but-still-beatable Cincinnati defense this Sunday.
OCTOBER 13, 2021 • ROTOWIRE
D'Andre Swift - Limited at practice Swift (groin) was a limited practice participant Wednesday, Tim Twentyman of the Lions' official site reports.
Impact Swift's limited participation due to a groin injury has become a recurring theme most weeks, but he's nonetheless seen eight or more carries and five or more targets while playing at least 56 percent of snaps in every game this season. He should be fine for Sunday's game against the Bengals, who rank 13th in yards per carry allowed (4.1) and 10th in rushing yards allowed (101.4 per game), though they've also yielded the second most receptions to running backs (41).
OCTOBER 13, 2021 • ROTOWIRE
T.J. Hockenson - Bothered by knee again Hockenson (knee) didn't practice Wednesday, Tim Twentyman of the Lions' official site reports.
Impact Hockenson was listed as questionable with the same injury Week 5, ultimately playing 81 percent of the Lions' offensive snaps but catching just two passes for 22 yards on three targets in a 19-17 loss to Minnesota. A return to practice Thursday or Friday would put him on track to play again this Sunday against the Bengals.

Alex Anzalone - Picks off first pass of season Anzalone totaled four tackles (one solo), one pass deflection and one interception in Sunday's loss to the Vikings.
Impact Anzalone has been a consistent producer for Detroit's defense this season, posting 30 tackles, one sack and one interception through five games. If the 27-year-old linebacker can maintain this production, he could garner some looks in deep IDP leagues.
