Detroit Lions TE Sam LaPorta (shoulder) fully participated in practice Friday, Nov. 22, and is not on the injury report for Week 12.
Huddle Up: LaPorta will be returning to the lineup after a one-game absence and should see a decent amount of targets in the passing game. He has posted at least 50 yards in only three games this season but can still be a starting option in fantasy leagues.

Detroit Lions TE Sam LaPorta (shoulder) fully participated in practice Wednesday, Nov. 20. The Lions did not hold a practice Wednesday, so this is an estimation.
Huddle Up: LaPorta did not play last week but seems to be on track to return to the lineup in Week 12. He will see a decent amount of targets if he is able to play and can be a starting option in fantasy leagues.

Detroit Lions TE Sam LaPorta (shoulder) is "questionable to above" and is trending in the right direction to play in Week 12, head coach Dan Campbell said on Wednesday, Nov. 20.
Huddle Up: After having his best game of the season in Week 10, LaPorta wasn't able to suit up in Week 11 because of his shoulder injury. Initially diagnosed as day-to-day, LaPorta clearly has a great chance to return this week. He'll be a TE1 if he does.

Detroit Lions TE Sam LaPorta (shoulder) did not practice for the third straight day on Friday, Nov. 15, and was ruled out for Week 11.
Huddle Up: Lions head coach Dan Campbell said LaPorta was day-to-day earlier in the week, so his injury isn't serious. With LaPorta sidelined, Brock Wright will be the biggest beneficiary, but he is not a viable lineup option.

Detroit Lions TE Sam LaPorta (shoulder) did not participate in practice Thursday, Nov. 14.
Huddle Up: LaPorta appears to be questionable at best for the Week 11 game, so fantasy players should continue to monitor the situation over the next few days. He can be a starting tight end in most leagues if he is cleared to play.

Detroit Lions TE Sam LaPorta (shoulder) did not practice on Thursday, Nov. 14. CB Carlton Davis (hand) and S Ifeatu Melifonwu (ankle, finger) were limited. OT Taylor Decker (shoulder), DL Brodric Martin (knee), CB Emmanuel Moseley (pectoral) and LB Malcolm Rodriguez (ankle) practiced in full.

Detroit Lions TE Sam LaPorta (shoulder) did not practice on Wednesday, Nov. 13.
Huddle Up: LaPorta was revealed to have a sprain of the AC joint that leaves him day-to-day, head coach Dan Campbell said on Monday. The lack of a practice on Wednesday means he is in danger of not playing in Week 11. Brock Wright would be LaPorta's replacement but isn't a suggested lineup option. Of course, LaPorta is a TE1 if he suits up.
