Allen Park -- Lions running back Kevin Smith was back at practice Thursday after missing Wednesday's workout because of a shoulder injury he suffered in the third quarter of last week's loss to St. Louis.

Both Smith and Maurice Morris took reps with the first-team offense in the portion of practice open to the media.

Calvin Johnson continued to show no ill effects from that right knee injury that has sidelined him for the last two games. Johnson continued to work with the first-team offense and certainly looks like he'll be ready for Sunday's game in Seattle.

The Lions seem to be as healthy as they've been in a while. Every player on the roster practiced in some capacity Thursday.
