But cornerback Kris Boyd was back at practice after leaving Sunday's game at Green Bay because of a leg injury.
Dantzler was injured in a scary scene when his helmet collided with safety Anthony Harris' thigh on the final play of the first quarter.
Dantzler was motionless on the field before being put on a backboard, carted off the field and taken to a nearby hospital for further evaluation. He made the trip home with the team.
On Monday, coach Mike Zimmer said Dantzler was doing better and had a chance to play this Sunday against Detroit.
Hill (foot) did not play against the Packers. Fields suffered a punctured lung during the game and isn't expected to play this Sunday.
