  "account": "The Detroit Lions scaled back training camp practice on Wednesday after coach Dan Campbell described Tuesday's practice as \"humming.\" On the injury report, several Lions players returned from injury, but a few new faces were absent. Running back Jabari Small, who was dealing with a concussion, made a step toward returning to action by taking part in positional drills during the team's short practice. However, when full team drills began, he was seen running sprints with a trainer for the remainder of the session. Small remains in contention for the Lions' RB4 job alongside Jacob Saylors, and if he recovers quickly enough to play in Saturday's preseason finale, he may still have a chance at the spot.\n\nOffensive lineman Miles Frazier and cornerback Nick Whiteside also missed team drills, but returned to practice after missing a prior session. Whiteside, in particular, was back at safety with the second-team defense due to the Lions' scarcity of cornerbacks. However, RB Isiah Pacheco, OT Giovanni Manu, C Cade Mays, G Michael Niese, EDGE Payton Turner, EDGE Derrick Moore, LB Jimmy Rolder, LB Trevor Nowaske, S Thomas Harper, S Christian Izien, and S Kerby Joseph were not practicing at all.\n\nCoach Dan Campbell provided encouraging updates on several injured players. He noted that running back Trevor Nowaske was likely dealing with a minor strain or sprain, expressing optimism about his recovery. Campbell sounded more concerned about safety Christian Izien, who could miss the team's opening game against the New Orleans Saints in just over two weeks due to a knee injury. Campbell expressed confidence that Izien would return to the team's lineup, though a specific timeline was not provided.",
