Major injury update:Jerry Jacobs is out of practice, and C.J. Gardner-Johnson Is … 

In order to get ready for their Week 16 game against the Minnesota Vikings, the

Detroit Lions went back to the practice field on Wednesday. Jerry Jacobs is

among those who did not take part in the media-accessible portion of practice. In the meantime, safety C.J. Gardner-

Johnson made his first practice appearance since sustaining a torn pectoral in Week 2.

The Lions will have 21 days from the start of the veteran safety’s window to decide whether or not to activate him. It just so happened that Gardner-Johnson turned 26 on Wednesday.

Jacobs, an Arkansas State product in his third year of cornerback play, has been a vital component of Detroit’s defense this

year. The former undrafted free agent has participated in 13 games, including 12 starts.

He did not start at cornerback last week for the first time this season as Khalil Dorsey replaced Cam Sutton in that role.

In the victory over Denver, Kindle Vildor and Dorsey shared reps.

Jacobs participated in special teams play prior to being sidelined due to a hamstring injury. Due to Jacobs’ injury,

the Lions saw visits from cornerbacks Thomas Graham and Jace Whittaker on Tuesday.

Although he has three interceptions to lead the team, the gifted defensive back has occasionally had trouble with

coverage this season. According to Pro Football Focus, he has given up 47

completions on 71 targets for 602 yards and seven touchdowns this season.

Dan Campbell and defensive coordinator Aaron Glenn have made some changes, one of which is to remove Jacobs from

the starting lineup. The past two games, Ifeatu Melifonwu has started at safety

while Vildor and Dorsey have received more playing time at cornerback.

We believed it improved us. After the game, Campbell stated, “Give them a chance to go, and now we get Jerry back on teams as well.” “Jerry can now play

both jammer and gunner on special teams. We simply keep working through it as a result. Allow these guys to

compete and give them a chance. We played well today, and those guys did a great job on the back end.

The Lions play Sunday, and the outcome would mean the organization would win its first division championship since 1993.
