Lions WR Titus Young is out for Thanksgiving Day. He was suspended by the team and is considered week to week. Rookie Ryan Broyles and recently acquired Mike Thomas will see more snaps and targets with Young out of the game. Neither are great plays against the Texans, but could be useful down the stretch against the Colts and Packers.

Fred Jackson returns, but C.J. Spiller will start

As expected Bills RB Fred Jackson will be back on the practice field Wednesday with his teammates as he’s been medically cleared after completing his concussion protocol Tuesday.

The only change however, is that the rotation between Jackson and C.J. Spiller sounds as if it will lean more heavily toward Spiller Sunday against the Colts.

“C.J. will start, but we’re still going to play Fred,” said HC Chan Gailey. “It takes two. It does. So Fred will get quite a few snaps, but C.J. will start and get the majority of the snaps.”

Bills running back Fred Jackson wasn't cleared to return from his concussion for today's practice but is expected to return Wednesday.

"Everything's on track for him to be ready to go Wednesday," coach Chan Gailey said. "He says he's feeling well."

Titus Young will not play Thursday for Lions
Monday, November 19, 2012, 6:49pm

Lions WR Titus Young was sent home from the Lions’ practice facility today and coach Jim Schwartz said he will not play in Thursday’s Thanksgiving game against the Houston Texans as punishment for repeated on-field issues that culminated in Sunday’s loss to the Green Bay Packers. Schwartz would not term the punishment a suspension, but he said Young probably won’t practice again Tuesday and will be re-evaluated on a week-to-week basis.

Young was benched for the Lions’ final possession Sunday after Fox TV cameras caught Lions receivers coach Shawn Jefferson yelling at offensive coordinator Scott Linehan to remove Young from the game. Young caught just one pass in six attempts, had penalties on back-to-back third-quarter plays and lined up in the wrong position on a key second-down play late in the fourth quarter when Gosder Cherilus was called for a false start.
