It appears there's a decent chance the Detroit Lions will be without running back Kevin Smith for Sunday's game against the Minnesota Vikings.
Smith is officially listed as <a href="http://www.onlinefootballjerseys.com">nfl jerseys wholesale</a> questionable with an ankle injury after limited participation in Friday's practice, although the Detroit Free Press reported that Smith pulled up during his first pass route out of the backfield in a skeleton offense drill. He walked off the field<a href="http://www.onlinefootballjerseys.com">nfl jerseys</a> and did not return.If Smith can't play, Maurice Morris would get the start, with Keiland Williams and Aaron Brown as his backups.Smith is trying to recover from an ankle injury he aggravated last week against the New Orleans Saints.
Also questionable for the the Lions is defensive tackle Nick Fairley, who is dealing with a foot injury. The team signed veteran defensive tackle Jovan Haye on Friday, who would assume <a href="http://www.onlinefootballjerseys.com">cheap nfl jerseys</a> Fairley's place in the D-line rotation.For a complete look at all injuries around the league, go to <a href="www.cheapgoodjerseys.com">cheap jerseys</a>NFL.com's injury page.

Cleveland Browns running back Peyton Hillis is expected to play <a href="http://www.niceworldjerseys.com/">nfl jerseys</a> in Thursday night's AFC North matchup against the Pittsburgh Steelers despite being listed as questionable with a hip injury, according to <a href="http://www.niceworldjerseys.com/">nfl jerseys wholesale</a> a league source.
Hillis missed one series in Sunday's loss to the Baltimore Ravens and was limited in practice this week.
As Browns coach Pat Shurmur alluded to <a href="http://www.niceworldjerseys.com/">cheap nfl jerseys</a> Tuesday, quarterback Colt McCoy also will play Thursday after suffering a sprained right knee against the Ravens. McCoy missed only one play <a href="http://www.niceworldjerseys.com/">custom nfl jerseys</a> Sunday and has done everything he normally would during practice this week.Despite reports McCoy has been limping during practices this week, the source indicated the quarterback is <a href="http://www.shopnflvip.com/">nfl jerseys wholesale</a> no more banged up than the rest of the team. He's listed as probable on the injury report.Right tackle Tony Pashos (ankle) and safety Mike Adams (shoulder), both of <a href="http://www.shopnflvip.com/">nfl jerseys</a> whom are questionable, will play despite their injuries.Linebacker Chris Gocong (hip), running back Montario Hardesty (calf) and defensive end Jayme Mitchell (ankle) were listed as <a href="http://www.shopnflvip.com/">cheap nfl jerseys</a> probable.Defensive back T.J. Ward (foot) and linebacker Quinton Spears (hamstring) were ruled out Monday.
