ALLEN PARK - The Detroit Lions practiced inside during a rainy afternoon Thursday.

The Lions are coming off a bye week and will host the Miami Dolphins on Sunday.

Rookie linebacker Kyle Van Noy was activated to play against the Dolphins, but will likely have a limited role.

The team has been without Calvin Johnson, but quarterback Matthew Stafford has seen the benefits of being without their star receiver.

Kickoff Sunday is scheduled for 1 p.m.
