ALLEN PARK -- Safety Louis Delmas has not put together back-to-back practices while coming back from a groin injury. He practiced Wednesday, but sat out Thursday morning’s session.

“It’s a groin injury and the more you beat it up the most it’s going to affect you in the long run. So I take one day off, two days off, one day off, two days off that would be the best treatment for it,’’ Delmas said.

The coaches and trainers leave the daily decision up to Delmas. He is not sure how long this will continue.

“The groin injury is never going to heal if you keep aggravating it,’’ Delmas said. “I guess it will be something I’ll have to deal with.’’

He did not play in the preseason opener and, while it has not been made official yet, it’s highly unlikely he will play Saturday in Denver.
