Although he was listed as a non-participant, Lions tight end Brandon Pettigrew did some running off to the side at Friday's practice, the Detroit News reports.
This marks the first time since Week 1 that the media has seen Pettigrew running. He still seems unlikely to play in Monday's game against the Seahawks, but the progress at least suggests he should be back for Week 5 or 6. Until that happens, Eric Ebron will continue to play the vast majority of offensive snaps, absorbing the in-line blocking role that's normally filled by Pettigrew, in addition to his own role as a pass-catcher.
