DETROIT – The Detroit Lions listed eight players on their injury report Thursday, but that included a promising update on three starters.

Jonah Jackson, David Montgomery, and Frank Ragnow all practice in full Thursday, adding to the confidence that Dan Campbell expressed earlier in the week that all three might play Sunday against the Los Angeles Chargers.

Montgomery has missed the past two games with a rib injury, while Jackson battles an ankle issue and Ragnow nurses a bad toe.

If all three are active Sunday, it’ll be the first time in over a month that the Lions have their entire starting offensive line available with both top running backs.

Here’s the full injury report from Thursday’s practice:

  • Defensive lineman Levi Onwuzurike -- no practice due to a hip injury.
  • Offensive guard Halapoulivaati Vaitai -- no practice due to a back injury.
  • Wire receiver Donovan PeoplesJones -- limited practice due to a rib injury.
  • Offensive lineman Dan Skipper -- limited practice due to a rib injury.
  • Cornerback Khalil Dorsey -- full practice (knee)
  • Offensive guard Jonah Jackson -- full practice (ankle)
  • Running back David Montgomery -- full practice (ribs)
  • Center Frank Ragnow -- full practice (toe)
