JOSH WOODS NEWS

Not practicing due to neck Woods (neck) missed a second consecutive practice Thursday.

Impact Woods exited in the first half of last week's win over the Cardinals with what was deemed a shoulder injury at the time, but it's now being called a neck injury and has kept him from practicing Wednesday nor Thursday. If Woods is unable to suit up Sunday against the Falcons, that would be a major blow to Detroit's already poor run defense, as the linebacker totaled 13 tackles in his last full game, Week 14 against the Broncos.

Monster tackling day Woods tallied 13 tackles (10 solo) in Sunday's 38-10 loss to the Broncos.

Impact Woods led the Lions in tackles Sunday as he posted his best game so far this season. As the Broncos handed off the ball to both Melvin Gordon and Javonte Williams a combined 39 times, the 25-year-old had a very busy afternoon. Do not expect the linebacker to put up these kinds of numbers week in and week out, but he has recorded eight-plus tackles in each of his last two games.
