The Detroit Lions entered training camp with most of their starting positions already assumed. There was some shifting here and there—like rookie Brian Branch working his way into the starting lineup—but for the most part, the Lions didn’t mess with their first teamers much of any in training camp.
There are three exceptions, though. The Lions had three clear positional battles happening at camp, and despite being just a few days from the season opener against the Kansas City Chiefs, it’s unclear who has won those battles.
The first is at right guard.
