The Detroit Lions are in another day of training camp and many observations have taken place for the Lions practice. Lions Jared Goff continues to build rapport with his wide receivers Amon-Ra St. Brown and Tyrell Williams. Lions TE T.J. Hockenson continues to get the majority of the balls thrown his way. Lions Jamaal Williams is showing flashes all over the field on what he can do as a running back. Mike Ford continues to impress at Lions training camp becoming the nickel corner. Alim McNeill continues to dominate and looks to be the steal of the draft.
Unable to practice
RB Jermar Jefferson (Injured ankle on Monday)
RB Michael Warren II (undisclosed)
OL Tyrell Crosby (Grade-1 hamstring)
DT Nick Williams (COVID-19 list) was added Saturday morning
DT Levi Onwuzurike (undisclosed)
DT John Penisini (undisclosed)
CB Quinton Dunbar (personal issue)
CB Corn Elder (Injured on Friday)
WR Quintez Cephus (head)
WR Damion Ratley (undisclosed)
Jefferson appeared to avoid the dreaded high ankle sprain: “He’s got an ankle (injury),” coach Dan Campbell updated Jefferson’s status ahead of today’s practice. “He kind of got his ankle yesterday. He’ll be out of practice today, but we do not think it’s serious. Does it look like a high ankle? It’s low. I think he’ll be good. He’ll be out today for sure.”
Limited during practice
RB D’Andre Swift (groin) — Participated in walkthrough and stretches. No positional or team drills.
DT Michael Brockers (vet rest) — Participated in walkthrough, stretches and positional drills. No team drills.
WR Breshad Perriman (hip) — Dressed, went through warmups. No team drills.
OG Tommy Kraemer — Dressed, went through warmups. Not sure on team drills. Probably not.
CB Nickell Robey-Coleman (first day, acclimation period) — No team drills.
All of these players are trending in the right direction, with Brockers particiapting more than I’ve seen him do since the pads have come on. Swift was fully dressed in pads, but disappeared after warmups. Perriman also got back on the field, which is a great sign. Though not repping during team drills is a sign he’ll probably sit out the team’s preseason opener on Friday.
Appeared to be injured at practice
TE T.J. Hockenson
WR Chad Hansen
DT D’Shawn Hand
DT Kevin Strong
It’s a potentially brutal setback for the oft-injured Hand, who just spent Monday talking to the media about how he has worked hard to stay healthy. Hand said he has hired a personal chef to help him stay on weight—he dropped to 270 pounds last season in an effort to trim down, but is back up to 293 with proper nutrition— and is taking steps to properly prepare his body before physical activities, including “warming up correctly, making sure my muscles stay loose. Stretching, stretching a lot more, yoga, and core (exercises)”.
This latest injury is likely to increase the chip on his shoulder, something that has been growing with each setback.
Increased participation levels at practice
Derrick Barnes (minor hamstring) — Looked to have his first full day in pads since last week
Jalen Reeves-Maybin — First practice in full pads of training camp
Tyrell Williams — Full practice
Alex Brown — Full practice
