Lions Designate Rookie Miles Frazier to Return, Opening Practice for First Time This Season

Detroit now has a limited evaluation period to decide on a 53-man activation or a season-ending injured reserve move.

Overview

  • The fifth-round pick from LSU injured his knee in May, spent months on the PUP list, and is practicing for the first time after missing training camp and the first nine games.
  • Under NFL rules, the club can evaluate him in practice before making a final roster decision at the end of the window.
  • Coach Dan Campbell highlighted Frazier’s versatility at guard and tackle and praised his power, tenacity, and finishing.
  • The Lions face a vacancy at left guard with Christian Mahogany out until at least late December and potentially headed to injured reserve.
  • Detroit added Jack Conley, Chris Hubbard, and Netane Muti to the practice squad, with Giovanni Manu a couple of weeks from practicing and internal options including Kayode Awosika, Trystan Colon, and a possible Graham Glasgow shift.
