Lions injury update: “Goodluck.” James Houston resumes his work.

James Houston may return to the Detroit Lions in time for their postseason run.

On Tuesday morning, Detroit Lions coach Dan Campbell made his weekly radio visit on 97.1 The Ticket. During a pleasant conversation, Campbell shared his thoughts on winning the NFC North, heaped praise on owner Sheila Hamp, and provided some crucial injury information.

After returning to practice last week following his torn pectoral, many were unsure if C.J. Gardner-Johnson would be able to play this week. However, Campbell appeared to imply that it was most definitely feasible.

“The close of C.J. He’s near,” Campbell remarked. “We must choose our course of action there as well as the parameters of what constitutes “close.”

Of course, the Lions could wait to be secure. Right now, their main goal is to secure a playoff berth, with any slot between the top three seeds being up for grabs. Furthermore, Ifeatu Melifonwu, the Lions’ safety, is playing a great game right now.

“He plays a part. He is just becoming more and more skilled. “He’s innate,” Campbell remarked following the Vikings victory on Sunday. “You can tell how athletic she is. He engages in physical play. He is just becoming more and more skilled. He truly is, I promise. When “Ducey” returns, we’re going to have a great issue. It only adds another dramatist to the mix.

More importantly, though, Campbell provided a very positive news on edge rusher James Houston, who has been out with an ankle injury.

“There’s a good chance we start Houston’s clock,” Campbell said.

I think I mentioned it this morning, but I’m not sure. We could wait a week, or we could (set his clock). Let’s check how he is doing. He’s almost ready to set the timer.

Although Campbell’s statement was not quite clear, it appears like Houston will resume practice this week. The Lions play the Cowboys on Saturday, so practice on Tuesday is likely to be a walkthrough given their short week. Houston may then be seen on the pitch.

Getting him back in the starting lineup may help Detroit achieve some significant outcomes. Houston’s explosiveness may be the spark the Lions have been lacking all season as they have failed to find a reliable pass rusher to replace Aidan Hutchinson. Houston scored 8.0 last year.

Additionally, Campbell gave a general update on Alim McNeill, the Lions defensive lineman who has missed the last three games due to injury, stating that he “continues to get better.”
