The Detroit Lions and Jacksonville Jaguars kicked off a pair of joint practices on Wednesday for a spirited—and fairly evenly-matched—practice. Today, I came in with a bigger focus on the Lions offense, but I’ll try to give some observations on the other side of the field to present a full picture of the opening practice.
Marvin Jones spent a good 10 minutes after the Detroit Lions‘ joint practice Wednesday with the Jacksonville Jaguars catching up with old teammates, and for Jones, the reunion wasn’t confined to after the final horn.

Allen Park — The Detroit Lions started Wednesday’s joint practice relatively healthy, with just three reserves sitting out the session. But by the end of the day, the team was down four receivers after Jameson Williams pulled up on a deep route clutching his right hamstring and Amon-Ra St. Brown exited after getting his right
Dan Campbell’s plan to “douse” Jameson Williams with reps in the Detroit Lions‘ final two preseason games may have hit a snag. Williams pulled up lame grabbing his right hamstring early in the Lions’ joint practice with the Jacksonville Jaguars on Wednesday.
