Emmanwori is being evaluated for a concussion and is questionable to return to Thursday's Week 16 game against the Rams.

Emmanwori was hurt while defending a pass late in the fourth quarter. The contest has since gone to overtime, but the impressive rookie defensive back may not be able to return. Cornerback Riq Woolen is also questionable to return due to a knee issue, and safety Coby Bryant has been ruled out with a knee injury of his own, so Josh Jobe, Nehemiah Pritchett and Ty Okada are all getting more work than usual.

Bryant (knee) has been ruled out for the remainder of Thursday night's contest against the Rams, John Boyle of the Seahawks' official site reports.

Bryant had the back of his leg rolled up on in the second half, and he ultimately walked back to the locker room before being ruled out. In his absence, Ty Okada will likely step into a more significant role at safety versus Los Angeles.

The Lions have designated Manu (knee) to return from injured reserve.

Manu landed on IR in mid-October due to a knee injury. He's been able to log a pair of limited practices to begin this week, but it's unclear if he'll be activated in time for Detroit's matchup against Pittsburgh on Sunday. When (and if) Manu returns to action, he'll likely work in a rotational role along the offensive line.

Burford (ankle) did not practice Thursday, Cam Inman of The San Jose Mercury News reports.

Burford was forced out of San Francisco's win over the Titans in Week 15 late, and though he's reportedly avoided a serious injury, his status for Monday's matchup against the Colts remains uncertain. The starting left guard will have two more opportunities to take the practice field during Week 16 prep.

Dotson (ankle) is questionable to return to Thursday night's contest against the Seahawks, Tyler Dragon of USA Today reports.

Dotson sustained a left ankle injury in the first quarter, ultimately being carted to the locker room. The offensive lineman appears to be unlikely to return, and Justin Dedich has taken over at right guard in his absence.

Glasgow (knee) did not participate at practice Thursday.

Glasgow popped up on the injury report with a knee issue Thursday, and it's unclear if he suffered a new injury or if he's potentially resting his previous one. The Lions' final injury report of the week will arrive after Friday's practice and provide more clarity to towards the offensive lineman's status for Week 16.

Decker (shoulder) was a limited participant at practice Thursday.

Decker was considered a non-participant at the team's walkthrough practice Wednesday, but he was able to make his return to the practice field Thursday. The offensive tackle has been playing through a shoulder issue for the majority of the season, and he now appears to be on track to do so again Sunday versus the Steelers.

Johnson (ankle) does not carry an injury designation for Saturday's road matchup against the Commanders.

Johnson began Week 16 listed as a non-participant at practice, but he upgraded to a full session Thursday. Expect him to draw another start at right tackle Saturday with Lane Johnson (foot) ruled out again.

Dickerson (calf) does not carry an injury designation for Saturday's game against the Commanders.

Dickerson upgraded to a full practice session Thursday after having begun Week 16 as a non-participant. The standout left guard will continue to play through his lingering calf injury during Saturday's road divisional matchup.

Williams (back) has been ruled out for Saturday's contest against the Bears, Wes Hodkiewicz of the Packers' official website reports.

Williams returned to practice Wednesday after missing the entirety of the regular season to this point while nursing a back injury. The offensive lineman was able to log back-to-back limited sessions, but he'll now shift his focus to a potential return to action in Week 17.
