Lions safety Kerby Joseph missed some of last Sunday's win over the Browns with a knee injury and it has impacted his availability at practice this week as well.

Joseph was out of practice on Thursday and has now missed both of the team's workouts this week. Joseph had three tackles and an interceptions while playing three-quarters of the defensive snaps last weekend.

Left tackle Taylor Decker was listed as questionable last week because of a shoulder injury, but wound up playing. He could be on track for the same designation for this week's matchup with the Bengals because he's missed both days of practice as well.

Linebacker Zach Cunningham (hamstring) and running back Sione Vaki (groin) were out of practice. Defensive tackle Alim McNeill (knee) was limited as he continues his first practice week of the season.

Cornerbacks Terrion Arnold (shoulder) and Khalil Dorsey (concussion) moved up to full practice participation.

The NFL will be returning to Mexico next year, and playing its first regular-season game in Asia soon.

NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell said today in London that the league has every intention of being a truly global sport, which means playing games in many more countries.

Estadio Azteca in Mexico City has hosted five regular-season games and will get a sixth next year.

“We’ll be back in Mexico City next year, which we’re thrilled about,” Goodell said, via the Associated Press.

Australia will also get its first regular-season game next year, and Asia won't be far behind.

“If you’re going to be global, you have to do it beyond Europe, beyond the Americas,” Goodell said. “You need to reach into other areas and territories, and next year we’re going to Australia. We have plans to go to Asia shortly thereafter.”

The NFL also plans to host games regularly in Brazil, Germany, Ireland, Spain and the UK.

The Giants remained without a major part of their defensive line at practice on Thursday.

Defensive tackle Dexter Lawrence missed practice for the second straight day with an illness. Lawrence's status for Sunday's game against the Saints will be updated on Friday and the Giants will be hoping to have him available whether he practices or not.

Safety Tyler Nubin (groin) returned to practice as a limited participant, but running back Tyrone Tracy (shoulder) remained off the field.

Left tackle Andrew Thomas (foot, rest), safety Dane Belton (shoulder), defensive lineman D.J. Davidson (foot), defensive lineman Chauncey Golson (shoulder), safety Jevon Holland (shoulder), center John Michael Schmitz (ankle), and defensive lineman Rakeem Nunez-Roches (foot) were limited participants. Quarterback Jaxson Dart (hamstring) was listed as a full participant for the second day in a row.
