After holding an intense practice on Thursday, and with the Family Fest scrimmage on the docket for Saturday, the Detroit Lions went back to shells on Friday for their ninth practice of training camp. For the most part, they kept things a bit toned down and gave more meaningful reps to a few reserve players, looking to see if any would seize the opportunity.
Attendance/Injury updates
Several veterans got the day off, while others saw light work. Amongst those not participating included Taylor Decker, D’Andre Swift, Jeff Okudah, and Julian Okwara. Okudah had his helmet during practice and may have participated in individual drills, but those were on the opposite side of the field from me and I may have missed them.
