Detroit Lions tight end Sam LaPorta did not participate in Thursday's practice due to an ankle injury sustained during the previous game against Arizona. Despite being diagnosed with a low-ankle sprain, LaPorta managed to finish the game and has additional time to recover before the Lions' Monday night matchup against the Seahawks. His participation in practice over the next few days will be crucial in determining his availability for Week 4.
