Dan Campbell’s plan to “douse” Jameson Williams with reps in the Detroit Lions‘ final two preseason games may have hit a snag.

Williams’ injury, which occurred while running a deep route in seven-on-seven drills, was
Allen Park — The Detroit Lions started Wednesday’s joint practice relatively healthy, with just three reserves sitting out the session.

With the Detroit Lions having a walkthrough on Tuesday, I thought it would be a good time to revitalize the written mailbag. I asked for questions on Twitter and you all delivered.

The Detroit Lions open their second set of joint practices Wednesday in Allen Park against the Jacksonville Jaguars, and Lions coach Dan Campbell said they will look similar to the first with one small adjustment. “There’s going to be more reps with ones,” Campbell said. “We’ll have more than we had with the Giants last
On Friday, the Detroit Lions and wide receiver/punt returner Kalif Raymond agreed on a new contract extension, adding two years and $10 million—including over $8 million in guarantees—onto his existing deal.
