The Detroit Lions open the 2021 season in 95 days, but the last thing on head coach Dan Campbell's mind for now is their Week 1 opponent, the San Francisco 49ers.
"We have to get our house in order before we can think about San Francisco, I know that," Campbell said Wednesday before the Lions' second practice of mandatory minicamp.
In an offseason truncated by COVID-19, the Lions have lost valuable classroom and on-field time installing their new offensive and defensive systems.
They did not have the voluntary early-spring minicamp that is customary for teams with new coaches, and they close the formal part of their offseason program Thursday, after two weeks of organized team activities and three minicamp practices.
