LB Sims misses practice; RB K. Smith injured

A couple injury updates from a spirited practice -- the last official practice of training camp -- in Allen Park ...

Linebacker Ernie Sims missed a second straight practice with what Jim Schwartz described as an oblique muscle pull.

A collision during a 7-on-7 drill between linebacker Jordon Dizon and Kevin Smith knocked the running back out of practice. Dizon got Smith with a knee in the hip as he vaulted over him to avoid a more serious hit.

Anthony Henry (bruised shoulder) sat out again and is questionable for Saturday's game.

Brandon Pettigrew was closer to a full participant in practice Wednesday and Schwartz said it's "looking more and more optimistic" he'll play against the Colts.

Among the receivers, it appears Calvin Johnson and Bryant Johnson both will be ready to play, while Dennis Northcutt won't.
