The Detroit Lions coaching staff faced a defining moment during Tuesday’s practice.

Now that the pads are on at Detroit Lions training camp, we’re getting some truly valuable information about the team. Detroit’s line-heavy draft is starting to make their first impressions—and for a guy like Alim McNeill, it’s heavily positive. But we also are getting a better feel for Jared Goff under true pressure, the defense’s
As most of the focus of Detroit Lions training camp remains on the offense and defense, especially as the pads come on, there remains two training camp battles that could have a significant impact on the team in 2021. Long snapper Don Muhlbach remains the heavy favorite over Scott Daly to win that job, but
For Penei Sewell, the Detroit Lions’ first padded practice of training camp Tuesday was “like when you’re out in the desert and you take that first sip of water.” “To be out there again, to strap it on, to put the helmet back on again, it’s a feeling that I forgot about,” Sewell said. “It’s
I’m trying not to drink the kool-aid, I really am. With that being said, things are looking good out of Allen Park thus far in training camp. In particular, the defense has dominated and edge rushers are looking more productive than anticipated. Players who regressed in 2020, like Tracy Walker and Jeff Okudah, look to

Dan Campbell set the bar low for rookie defensive tackle Alim McNeill before the first padded practice of training camp Tuesday. And like everything McNeill has done in his short time as a Detroit Lion, he cleared it impressively. “If I’m being totally honest, I expect him to get maybe pushed around a little bit today,
With the Detroit Lions players putting pads on for the first time in training camp (Day 6), the competition got heated at times. In the very first contract drill, 3-on-3 offensive line versus defensive line, players were looking to establish themselves and set the tone for the day. Early in the drill, Romeo Okwara paired
Allen Park — Before the Detroit Lions’ first padded practice of training camp on Tuesday, coach Dan Campbell reminisced about his first time in pads, as a rookie with the New York Giants in 1999. As Campbell tells it, he was approached by Howard Cross, a veteran tight end in his 11th season with the franchise. “I’m
When Dan Campbell played for Bill Parcells with the Dallas Cowboys in the early 2000s, the Detroit Lions coach was Parcells’ designated antagonizer. When the Cowboys were dragging through the dog days of training camp, or if they needed a jumpstart on an otherwise dull day, Campbell was the player Parcells pulled aside and asked
Allen Park — Taylor Decker’s welcome-to-the-NFL moment came in the first quarter of his first preseason game. At that point, Pittsburgh Steelers edge rusher James Harrison was well past his prime. He was 38, entering his 14th season and was five years removed from his last of five Pro Bowl appearances. But that didn’t stop him
During one of his first competitive drills in pads, Detroit Lions offensive tackle Penei Sewell—who has gone nearly two full years without a live rep in pads—knocked Julian Okwara back, causing the defender to nearly lose his balance. After the quick three-on-three rep was over, Sewell let loose a victorious scream that could be heard
The NFL’s vaccination rate is near 90%. That’s good news. It’s better news that the most popular sports league in the country achieved this without a strict COVID-19 vaccine mandate. Not that mandates are wrong, they just hit too many the wrong way. Oh, the league made it more inconvenient for those who shunned the shot, requiring masking, social distancing, more
The Detroit Lions have been very fortunate when it comes to the injury bug through one week of training camp (**knocks on wood**). Unfortunately, a few former Lions players on new teams haven’t been as lucky. First and foremost, Rams quarterback Matthew Stafford injured his thumb—the same thumb that was surgically repaired just a few
Allen Park — Here are some notes and observations from the Detroit Lions’ training camp practice Tuesday. ► Finally, the pads came on for the Lions, which meant the incorporation of some one-on-one reps, as well as a more realistic assessment on the offensive and defensive fronts. ► For the first time since camp, the wide receivers matched
With pads on for the first time, there was a noticeable increase in intensity at Allen Park Tuesday morning. The Detroit Lions really opened practice up, getting in far more team drills, as well as full-speed positional reps. It’s not just exhilarating for the players, but for the writers that have had to deal with

Dan Campbell had 13 surgeries during his playing career, so the first-year Detroit Lions coach can relate to what pass rusher Austin Bryant is going through as he tries to return from another injury. “I know what enters the brain when” you’re coming back from injury, Campbell said. That’s why Campbell said it will be
