Detroit Lions' Devon Kennard misses practice, Christian Jones leaves with injury

Lions LB Devon Kennard joins Free Press' Dave Birkett to chat about improvement of the defense, Matt Patricia, more at Super Bowl LIII, Feb. 1, 2019.

It's two days into training camp and the Detroit Lions already are dealing with injuries at the linebacker position.

Christian Jones left Friday's practice with an undisclosed injury, and Devon Kennard sat out practice entirely.

Jones, who started all 16 games last season at outside linebacker, walked off the field midway through practice with a trainer and did not return. Kennard, who finished second on the Lions with seven sacks in 2018, spent most of practice inside the Lions' indoor facility and out of sight of reporters.
