T.J. Hockenson back at Detroit Lions practice; Damon Harrison absent

T.J. Hockenson remains in concussion protocol, but the rookie tight end could return to action for Monday night's NFC North showdown with the Green Bay Packers.

Hockenson, who briefly lost consciousness and was carted to the locker room with a concussion Sept. 29 in the Detroit Lions' loss to the Kansas City Chiefs, was back at practice Wednesday.

Hockenson was a full participant in the individual portion of practice, where he ran routes and took part in a ball-security drill.

The Lions, who practiced in full pads Wednesday, won't release their first injury report of the week until Thursday.

Safety Quandre Diggs was much more limited during the individual portion of practice after leaving the Chiefs game with a pulled hamstring. Darius Slay (hamstring) and Danny Amendola (chest) returned to practice after sitting out the loss.

Mike Daniels remains out with a foot injury, and Damon Harrison did not practice for undisclosed reasons.

The Packers (4-1) lead the NFC North, while the Lions (2-1-1) are in second place coming off their bye week.
