ALLEN PARK -- Suddenly, Kenny Golladay's return doesn't look so imminent.

The Detroit Lions receiver has missed three straight games with a nagging hamstring injury. He's practiced off and on for a couple weeks now, and it seemed like he was primed for a return after the bye.

But after practicing on Wednesday, Golladay was sidelined again on Thursday, clouding his availability for Sunday's prime-time game against the Pittsburgh Steelers.

The good news is Golden Tate practiced for a second straight day, and appears to be trending toward playing against Pittsburgh. He suffered a shoulder injury before the bye against New Orleans, and NFL Network reported he was expected to miss multiple weeks.

Offensive linemen Greg Robinson and Emmett Cleary also missed practice, although both were running on the side with a trainer during the 20 minutes that were open to reporters. That usually indicates a player is close to a return.

If Robinson can't go, as is expected, Brian Mihalik will get his first start at left tackle.
