Jennings (Achilles) practiced partially Thursday, Keith Langlois of Pistons.com reports.

Analysis:

Jennings participated in parts of some contact drills and played 4-on-4. According to Langlois, Jennings was knocked to the floor at one point by teammate Aron Baynes, and Jennings responded by saying "it was good," implying that he's comfortable taking full contact. An exact return date is yet to be revealed, but the hope is that Jennings will be back at full strength sometime in December.
