ALLEN PARK -- The Detroit Lions were missing two players from Thursday’s practice. But they saw the return of pass rusher Al-Quadin Muhammad (hamstring) back on the field in the good news department.

The availability of Detroit Lions safety Kerby Joseph against the Minnesota Vikings is now up in the air. Dan Campbell's squad returned to the practice field on Thursday afternoon, after the players had a scheduled day of off on Wednesday.

Lions: CBs Kerby Joseph (knee), Terrion Arnold (shoulder) and Avonte Maddox (hamstring) missed the previous game. Arnold and Maddox may return to play this week. OT Taylor Decker (shoulder) returned against the Bucs after missing two games, but is dealing with a nagging injury.

Arnold's mood has been brightened by being back at practice. He's staying patient and trusting the staff with his shoulder as he inches closer to returning.
