Lions' Sam LaPorta: Estimated as full participant
LaPorta (shoulder) was a full participant in Wednesday's walk-through practice.
LaPorta sustained an AC joint sprain in his shoulder during a Week 10 win at Houston and wasn't able to practice in any capacity prior to being ruled out ahead of this past Sunday's win over the Jaguars. With a full listing on the Lions' first practice report of Week 12, he's upholding head coach Dan Campbell's comment from earlier Wednesday, when he told Justin Rogers of DetroitFootball.net that LaPorta was trending toward returning to action Sunday in Indianapolis. Still, Campbell also called LaPorta "questionable to above," so the tight end may need to log a full practice Thursday or Friday in order to be truly in the clear for Week 12 action.

Lions' Sam LaPorta: Trending toward playing
Lions head coach Dan Campbell said Wednesday that LaPorta (shoulder) is trending toward a return for Sunday's game at Indianapolis, Justin Rogers of DetroitFootball.net reports.
Campbell used the term "questionable to above" as an estimation of the tight end's Week 12 status. LaPorta missed the Lions' Week 11 blowout win over Jacksonville due to an AC joint sprain, leaving Brock Wright as Detroit's top tight end.

Lions' Sam LaPorta: Ruled out
LaPorta (shoulder) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against Jacksonville.
LaPorta didn't practice at all this week after making an early exit from Sunday's 26-23 win at Houston. Coach Dan Campbell said Monday that the tight end is day-to-day, which suggests there's some shot he'll return Week 12 at Indianapolis (Nov. 24) or Week 13 against Chicago (Nov. 28). As for this week's game, Brock Wright figures to get most of the snaps in single-TE formations, with Shane Zylstra joining him in two-TE sets. LaPorta's absence could also free up a few extra snaps for depth WRs Tim Patrick and Kalif Raymond.

Lions' Sam LaPorta: Not practicing
LaPorta (shoulder) isn't practicing Friday, Nolan Bianchi of The Detroit News reports.
LaPorta hasn't practiced at all this week and thus seems unlikely to play Sunday against the Jaguars. He suffered an AC joint sprain in his shoulder during last week's win over the Texans, leaving Brock Wright as Detroit's top tight end for the fourth quarter.

Lions' Sam LaPorta: Sidelined for practice again
LaPorta (shoulder) isn't practicing Thursday, Nolan Bianchi of The Detroit News reports.
LaPorta also sat out Wednesday while recovering from an AC joint sprain in his shoulder, and a second straight absence from practice creates more concern about his availability for Sunday's game against the Jaguars. Before deciding whether LaPorta carries a designation into the Week 11 contest, the Lions will see what, if anything, the tight end is able to do at Friday's practice. If LaPorta is forced to miss his first game of the season Sunday, Brock Wright would likely step in as the Lions' top tight end, though he would be unlikely to match the target volume LaPorta typically sees when available.

Lions' Sam LaPorta: Sits out practice Wednesday
Lions head coach Dan Campbell said LaPorta (shoulder) didn't practice Wednesday, Eric Woodyard of ESPN.com reports.
LaPorta exited this past Sunday's 26-23 win at Houston due a shoulder injury that eventually was termed an AC joint sprain. On Monday, Campbell called LaPorta day-to-day, and the coach used the same term to describe the tight end Wednesday. LaPorta will have two more chances this week to put himself in a position to be available Sunday against the Jaguars.

Lions' Sam LaPorta: Day-to-day, per coach
Head coach Dan Campbell relayed Monday that LaPorta is viewed as day-to day-with the shoulder injury he sustained during Week 10 action, Tim Twentyman of the Lions' official site reports.
With that in mind, Campbell indicated that he's "hopeful" LaPorta can play Sunday against the Jaguars. The tight end's status thus is worth monitoring carefully in the coming days, but if LaPorta is limited or out this weekend, Brock Wright and Shane Zylstra would be in line to see added opportunities Week 11.

Lions' Sam LaPorta: Dealing with sprained AC joint
LaPorta (shoulder) suffered a sprained AC joint in Sunday night's 26-23 win over the Texans, Nolan Bianchi of The Detroit News reports.
LaPorta sustained the injury in the second half, bringing his night to a premature end. The tight end had three catches for 66 yards and a score prior to leaving the game, notching his third touchdown over the last five games. Head coach Dan Campbell said following the contest that LaPorta's injury is "not something he's super worried about," but he also added that the tight end "might miss this week." The Lions will host the Jaguars on Nov. 17, and LaPorta's status at practice will be worth monitoring ahead of the contest.
