  "account": "Detroit Lions starting defensive end DJ Wonnum returned to full practice on Thursday after missing Wednesday due to a back injury. Wonnum, a 6-foot-5, 262-pound veteran, recorded two sacks in the Lions' 31-24 victory over the New York Jets the previous week. Guard Ben Bartch, who is dealing with a foot issue, did not practice again on Thursday. Cornerback D.J. Reed, who has been battling a rib injury, also participated at a limited level for the second consecutive day. The Lions reported that cornerback D.J. Reed was limited in practice Thursday as he continues to recover from a rib injury. In addition, the Lions' practice report noted that left tackle Monroe Freeling (concussion) and wide receiver Jalen Coker (quad) were limited in their participation. On the opposing side, Panthers wide receiver Xavier Legette did not practice on Thursday, and left guard Damien Lewis is expected to be sidelined with a UCL injury.",
