If his ankle is healthy we only need him for the nascar squad. 10 to 15 snaps per game so cardio shouldn’t be much of a factor. Plus there are 50 commercial breaks per game.
It’s all about that ankle mobility. Does it impact his pass rushing and dipping ability? Hopefully he’s ready to rock.
He’s not on the practice report today so maybe they start him next week. Would love to see him play in at least one game before the season ends
Thank goodness he didn’t have to get his leg amputated! That would really be a problem for Houston.
He could still play against Minnesota, but it could be that they want to save him for the post-season.
I believe I read in one of the Detroit papers reasoning behind the delay is a shorten week of practice this week. Activating him next is a full week of practice, if that makes sense.
activate Houston for the Dallas game !
Let’s hope that’s the case.
Houston relies upon his ability to plant and bend around the corner. That ankle injury must’ve been pretty serious.
Houston is back today!!! LFG.
I so hope you’re right! Get him some practice time this week and next, maybe a series or two against the Vikes and have him ready for some Detroit Lion Playoff Football!
No, he really did return today. Beat writers just announced it.
The Lions have opened James Houston’s 21-day practice window
What was Houston’s injury again?
Snapped his twig
What the hell. Hes not coming back, and he is coming back all in the span of an hour or two?
I guess I shouldn’t have taken a nap.
Can someone explain the 21 day practice window to me?
Pretty simple really.
Team opens up window. Player can practice doesn’t count towards 53 man roster. After 3 weeks player is activated or returned to injured reserve for the rest of season.
I should add the player can be activated any time during the 3 week window. But he’s then on the 53 man roster and someone needs to be released
Thank you sir!
