Levy (knee) is listed as active for Sunday's game against the Bears.
EDGE Analysis
Levy will make his first appearance since Week 1 after a knee injury kept him sidelined for a majority of the season thus far. If his snap count is limited in any capacity, Antwione Williams could see additional reps at outside linebacker, but Levy expects to get the start.

Levy (knee) "is looking like he could play [Sunday] against the Bears", MLive.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Levy hasn't seen game action since the season opener but ramped up his level of activity in practice every consecutive day this week. His potential availability would send Antwione Williams back to a reserve role.

Levy (knee) is inactive for Thursday's game against the Vikings.
EDGE Analysis
Levy was likely a bit farther from active status than his questionable availability may have indicated at first glance. Alas, he seems to be drawing closer to his first action since the regular season opener, which could occur as early as Sunday Dec. 4 at New Orleans.

Levy (knee) is questionable for Thursday's matchup against the Vikings.
EDGE Analysis
Levy hasn't seen the field since Week 1, but given that he has recorded two consecutive weeks of limited practice participation, his prospects are trending upward for Thursday's game. If he can play, he will provide an immediate boost to the Lions' defense. Check back on Levy's status as kickoff approaches.

Levy (knee) is inactive Sunday against the Jaguars, the team's official site reports.
EDGE Analysis
It's more of the same for the veteran linebacker, who hasn't taken the field since Week 1 due to a knee injury. However, Levy did participate in practice this week for the first time in over two months, leaving an optimistic outlook for his availability Week 12 against the Vikings.

Levy (knee) is doubtful to play Sunday against the Jaguars.
EDGE Analysis
Levy made his highly-anticipated return to the practice field this week, but apparently needs more time to get back into game shape. Barring a setback, he should be available in Week 12 against the Vikings.

Levy (knee) was limited in practice Thursday but isn't expected to play Sunday against the Jaguars, Kyle Meinke of MLive.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Head coach Jim Caldwell said, "He did OK," in reference to Levy's first time on the practice field in over two months. The linebacker hasn't played since Week 1 and has missed 23 of the Lions' past 25 games, but he could be ready for the Thanksgiving showdown with the Vikings next Thursday. For now it seems as if any return date given by the team is just speculation, so expect Antwione Williams to continue as the team's starter until more concrete information is released.
