Detroit’s two biggest offensive weapons trended in the right direction Thursday, and three new names joined the Week 8 injury report.

• Jahmyr Gibbs (DET RB) returned to practice Thursday after sitting out Wednesday with a shoulder injury he picked up late in last week’s win over Green Bay. It’s a good early sign ahead of Sunday’s home game against unbeaten Minnesota, though the Lions haven’t released an official participation level yet.
• Amon-Ra St. Brown (DET WR) also returned to practice Thursday after a planned rest day Wednesday for his ankle. Coach Dan Campbell said this week St. Brown should be good once he was back on the field.
• Carnell Tate (TEN WR) was added to the injury report Thursday with a new shoulder issue after carrying no designation all week. Treat him as a game-time call on the road at Cincinnati until Friday’s report clarifies things.
• Jakobi Meyers (JAX WR) and Kenny Gainwell (TB RB) also joined the report Thursday, with hamstring and hip issues respectively. Neither has a team practice report out yet.

Full board, player notes and the long-term IR list: the injury report.
