In a bid to keep their players fresh and prepared for the upcoming NFC Championship round, the Detroit Lions opted for a walkthrough practice on Wednesday. With all the participation levels in this report being estimates, let's take a look at the injury situation and where things stand for the Lions as they gear up for their game against the San Francisco 49ers on Sunday at 6:30 p.m. ET in Santa Clara, California.

Wide receiver Kalif Raymond, who sustained a knee injury in Week 18, has reportedly been making progress but was still unable to participate in Wednesday's practice. His availability for the game remains uncertain, although the team hopes for improvements in his condition before Sunday.

Left guard Jonah Jackson is a new addition to the injury report, with a knee injury. It is expected that he will miss the game against the 49ers, and his status for a potential Super Bowl appearance remains uncertain.

On a positive note, tight end LaPorta, who has been battling a knee injury for the past two games, showed signs of improvement in his performance against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers last Sunday. The Lions plan to take a cautious approach with him during practice this week to ensure his readiness for the upcoming clash.

Center Frank Ragnow, despite sustaining ankle and knee injuries in the Divisional round, expressed that he is feeling better than expected. He acknowledged stiffness but is optimistic about his recovery and determined to contribute to the team's success on Sunday.

Unfortunately, the news is not as favorable for Jonah Jackson, who underwent knee surgery following the game against the Buccaneers. It is unlikely that he will be available for the upcoming game, although there is a possibility he could return in time for the Super Bowl.

Wide receiver Josh Reynolds injured his ribs in the game against the Buccaneers but managed to return and make a valuable contribution in the final quarter. As per the usual protocol for players recovering from previous injuries, Reynolds will have light work during the early part of the week.

Linebacker Alex Anzalone displayed outstanding resilience by playing through fractured ribs and a shoulder injury last week. To ensure his full availability, the Lions plan to provide him with some early-week rest.

Cornerback Justin Houston, who made his return from injured reserve last week but did not play in the game, now has another week to acclimate. It is possible that Houston will return to the field in Santa Clara, which is a positive sign for the Lions.

In other news, San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Deebo Samuel won't be practicing today but is said to be feeling better. His status for Sunday's game against the Lions is yet to be determined.

As the Lions continue their preparations for the NFC Championship game, the team and fans remain hopeful that key players will recover in time to make significant contributions. The upcoming clash with the San Francisco 49ers promises to be an intense battle, with both teams vying for a spot in the Super Bowl.
