After being down their top three tight ends in their last game, the Lions finally have one healthy enough to practice.

Joseph Fauria, who has missed five straight games after hurting his ankle during a dog urination incident, was back at practice today.

The Lions’ other injured tight ends, Brandon Pettigrew and Eric Ebron, are both still out of practice. The Lions added veteran tight end Kellen Davis to the roster for some depth while the other tight ends are down.

Three other offensive starters are back at practice as well: Wide receiver Calvin Johnson (ankle), running back Reggie Bush (ankle) and right tackle LaAdrian Waddle (concussion) are all healthy enough to practice again.
