“Whatever happened, happened,” Ansah said, via ESPN. “I’m just glad I’m back on the field and being able to practice.”

There were reports that it was a concussion holding Ansah out, he confirmed that.

“We know I had a concussion,” Ansah said. “I just put that behind me, and I’m happy I’m back.”

“I missed the game,” Ansah told Lions beat reporter Tim Twentyman. “I missed what I love to do.”

Lions said that safety Louis Delmas and defensive end Jason Jones also are probable for the game against the Vikings Sunday.
