ALLEN PARK — Chris Houston, who missed two of the last three games, was back on the practice field today (Wednesday) and participating in individual drills. He missed Monday night’s game with a turf toe injury.

Because the Lions played on Monday night, it wasn’t a practice today it was a walk-through.

Six were missing from the walk-through including Calvin Johnson, who was on the field with the wide receivers but not working; Brandon Pettigrew who injured his ankle on Monday night; DeAndre Levy, who was on the field watching; Darius Slay (knee) who stretched and was running along the sidelines with a trainer; John Wendling who was wearing an orthopedic boot on his left foot; and Louis Delmas (knee) who doesn’t practice on Wednesdays.

The Lions are preparing to play the Giants on Sunday at Ford Field. Kickoff is 4:05 p.m.
