The Detroit Lions offered injury updates on three different players ahead of their joint practice with the Miami Dolphins on Wednesday.

According to head coach Dan Campbell, both running back Sione Vaki (undisclosed) and edge rusher Ahmed Hassanein (leg) are back to work for the joint session.

Meanwhile, cornerback Terrion Arnold (hamstring) remains sidelined and will not take part in either of the joint practices against the Dolphins. Campbell did note, however, that Arnold is making progress.

"I don't see (Terrion Arnold) in these (joint practices)," Campbell said. "He's getting better, he's doing more everyday, but I don't see him being able to go through these practices."

Arnold has been down for a few weeks since suffering a hamstring injury at practice on July 29. At the time, Campbell revealed Arnold was dealing with a "low-grade" hamstring issue.

The Lions will hold two joint practices with the Dolphins in total, one on Wednesday and another on Thursday. Then, the two teams will square off in preseason Week 2, with the contest taking place in Detroit on Saturday at 1 p.m. ET.
