Tue Dec 31 01:50:00 UTC 2024: ## Lions Guard Glasgow Expected Back Against 49ers; Other Injured Players’ Returns Uncertain
**DETROIT, MI** – The Detroit Lions are looking forward to the return of several injured players, though the timeline for their return remains uncertain. Following a game against the Chicago Bears with no new injuries, focus has shifted to the potential comeback of key players against the San Francisco 49ers this week.
While three players – Graham Glasgow, Kalif Raymond, and Jalen Reeves-Maybin – could potentially return, only Glasgow is expected to feature in Sunday’s game. Head Coach Dan Campbell confirmed Glasgow’s imminent return after a knee injury kept him sidelined last week. Despite Christian Mahogany’s strong performance filling in at left guard, Campbell anticipates Glasgow will immediately reclaim his starting position.
Raymond’s return from a foot injury is less certain. While eligible to return from injured reserve (IR) this week, the opening of his 21-day practice window will determine his availability against the 49ers. If the window opens this week, he could play; otherwise, his return is likely three or more weeks away.
Reeves-Maybin, currently in his 21-day practice window following a period on IR, is not expected to play this week, with a potential return date targeted for either the final regular season game or the playoffs.
Other Lions players facing longer recovery periods include Alex Anzalone (forearm fracture), who is expected to return in three weeks; D’Andre Swift (MCL sprain), who aims for a return in the divisional round of the playoffs; Will Harris (hamstring), at least three weeks away; Derrick Barnes (jaw fracture) potentially returning for the NFC Championship Game; and Romeo Okwara (left tib/fib fracture), who could return by the Super Bowl.
