ALLEN PARK — Detroit Lions center Graham Glasgow left Thursday’s practice in Allen Park to be evaluated for a lower leg injury, according to an announcement from the team.
Glasgow, who answered a major question mark by winning the starting center job after Frank Ragnow’s retirement, was injured during the final period of the day. It was unclear how, exactly, he suffered the injury, but he was slow to get up after a completion to wide receiver Kalif Raymond and was later helped off the field by a pair of trainers.
Should Glasgow have to miss extended time, it would be a major blow to the rhythm Detroit’s offense has established throughout camp. No other projected starter has any sort of meaningful center experience, which means the team would likely have to turn to a reserve — Kingsley Eguakun filled in after Glasgow was hurt — in the here and now, or throw rookie Tate Ratledge into the fire. Ratledge spent the first three days of camp at center but has not repped there since.
More injury updates
• S Kerby Joseph: Joseph returned to practice after missing the last three sessions with a minor knee injury that also caused him to miss time earlier in camp. He was spotted wearing a left leg sleeve on Thursday and was a full participant.
• RB Sione Vaki: Vaki, who has missed time over two separate stints in camp, also left practice with what was presumed to be an injury, but the team did not provide an update. It’s unclear why he left practice.
• DE Josh Paschal: Lions coach Dan Campbell said the return of Paschal (undisclosed) will be later than originally thought after he said earlier in camp that he expected Paschal to start practicing in early September.
Paschal began training camp on the Non-Football Injury (NFI) list and will not count against the roster limit if he remains on NFI through cutdown day.
“I think Paschal could be a little later than we had hoped,” Campbell said Thursday. “That could sting a little bit. It also cleans (the roster construction) up, too. At least you’re not hoping and waiting and whatever else.”
• DE Ahmed Hassanein: The Lions already are set to be without rookie defensive end Ahmed Hassanein, who suffered a pectoral injury that will require significant time missed. Hassanein posted on his Instagram that he didn’t need surgery, but Campbell was hesitant to update his long-term outlook.
“I’ve got nothing else on him, to be honest with you,” Campbell said.
• C Trystan Colon: Colon, who suffered an elbow injury in a preseason game against the Atlanta Falcons, was spotted running on the side with a large elbow brace on his arm.
• S Morice Norris: Norris, who suffered a severe concussion in the preseason game at Atlanta, was also doing some light work on the side in a practice jersey. Campbell said earlier this week that his timetable is to be determined.
