On Monday, the Detroit Lions held their last open-to-the-media OTA (offseason training activity) of the 2023 spring.
As is commonplace under coach Dan Campbell, the Lions veterans/established players were allowed to get an early jump on their summer break following last week’s minicamp, only asking first and second-year players to stay in Allen Park for their final OTA practices. A few veterans hung around, but Monday’s practice only consisted of 36 players—14 offensive players, 13 on defense, four special teamers, and five injured players that were doing light work and rehabbing.
Beyond the expected players, the notable players who returned for practice included, Kalif Raymond (full participant), Chase Lucas (who returned from injury), James Houston (who is expanding his role), and Emmanuel Moseley (light work and rehab).
