Amendola (hip) wasn't spotted at practice Wednesday, Michael Rothstein of ESPN.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Neither was Marvin Jones (undisclosed), though on the plus side, Kenny Golladay (hip) returned to the practice field Wednesday. Amendola injured his hip during this past Sunday's win over Washington, finishing the day with three receptions for 10 yards on three targets.

Amendola injured his hip during Sunday's contest versus Washington.
EDGE Analysis
Amendola was escorted to the locker room in the second half and eventually termed questionable to return by the Lions. If he's unable to reenter the game, he'll conclude Week 10 with three catches (on three targets) for 10 yards and no touchdowns.

Amendola logged seven receptions on 10 targets for 77 yards in Week 9 against the Vikings.
EDGE Analysis
Amendola took advantage of Kenny Golladay's (hip) absence to reach double-digit targets for the first time since Week 15 of the 2019 season. While the majority of his receptions went for short gains, Amendola did manage catches of 28 and 13 yards to account for over half of his production. Assuming Golladay is unable to return in Week 10 against Washington, Amendola should be expected to soak up plenty of targets once again.

Amendola caught three of four targets for 54 yards during Sunday's 41-21 loss to the Colts.
EDGE Analysis
Amendola made a couple of nice grabs, but it was Marvin Hall (seven targets, four catches, 113 yards) who seemed to benefit more from the injury to Kenny Golladay (hip). However, the veteran did see seven targets in both of the games Golladay missed to begin the year, so it's possible that Hall's usage was fluky to some extent. In any case, Amendola should at least benefit from a Week 9 matchup against a Minnesota defense that has allowed the third-most yards per pass attempt (8.5) in 2020.

Amendola caught three of four targets for 62 yards during Sunday's 23-22 victory over the Falcons.
EDGE Analysis
Most of Amendola's production came on a 36-yard catch in the second quarter where the veteran got open and made a short gain much longer. Considering Amendola still hasn't topped four targets in a game since Kenny Golladay returned from injury, he won't be an advisable fantasy option when Detroit takes on a tough Colts secondary Week 8.

Amendola (foot) doesn't have an injury designation for Sunday's game in Atlanta, Tim Twentyman of the Lions' official site reports.
EDGE Analysis
Amendola will fill his usual role as the Lions' No. 3 receiver, though it hasn't been especially fruitful with the team making multi-TE formations a huge part of the offense this season. Amendola has played only 49 percent of the offensive snaps, and he hasn't seen more than four targets in a game since Week 2.

Amendola (foot) was a limited participant in Thursday's practice.
EDGE Analysis
Amendola was able to match his activity level from Wednesday's practice, putting himself in good shape as Sunday's game against the Falcons. In order to avoid carrying a questionable designation into the contest, however, Amendola may need to upgrade from limited to full participation Friday in the Lions' final practice session of Week 7.

Amendola (foot) was a limited participant in Wednesday's practice.
EDGE Analysis
Amendola's ability to practice in at least a limited capacity seems to hint that he's still on track to suit up for Sunday's contest against the Falcons. However, he could need to successfully go through a full practice before being cleared. Fellow starting wideout Marvin Jones (knee) missed Wednesday's practice entirely.

Amendola secured two of two targets for 31 yards during Sunday's 34-16 victory over Jacksonville.
EDGE Analysis
Amendola saw a season-low in targets on a day Kenny Golladay and D'Andre Swift stole the show for Detroit. After the veteran commanded seven targets in Golladay's absence in each of the first two weeks of the season, Amendola has only seen nine combined targets in three games since Golladay returned. It will be hard to trust Amendola in Week 7 despite an appetizing matchup with a Falcons defense that ranks last in yards allowed per pass attempt (8.6) in 2020.

Amendola caught two of three targets for 57 yards during Sunday's 35-29 loss to New Orleans.
EDGE Analysis
Amendola carved up the Saints for a 50-yard catch-and-run in the first quarter, but he later followed it up with a disappointing unsportsmanlike conduct penalty in the second quarter. With Kenny Golladay, Marvin Jones and T.J. Hockenson healthy, Amendola will remain on the fringes of the fantasy radar when the Lions come back from their Week 5 bye.
