Detroit Lions 2025 training camp Day 1 observations: Tate Ratledge opens at center

The Detroit Lions held their first training camp practice of the 2025 season on Sunday, and while most things played out as expected, there were several injury updates and a few surprises on the depth chart.

With this being the first practice of the acclimation period, the Lions were not in pads, and practice lasted only an hour and a half, which should be the shortest practice of training camp. Per NFL guidelines, the Lions can expand practices by 15 minutes over each of the next four practices, culminating in a Saturday practice—when season ticket holders arrive—that will likely be two and a half hours in length with the option of wearing shells under their jerseys.
