Here's what Detroit Lions OT Penei Sewell is working on ahead of Steelers preseason game

Penei Sewell played mostly well in his preseason debut last week, but the Detroit Lions' first-round pick said he has a lot to improve on before Saturday's exhibition game against the Pittsburgh Steelers.

"I’ve got to get my hands right," Sewell said after practice Monday. "Right now they’re way too wide, especially going against the people in the league now. So I just got to lock in on that, fine-tune on my pad level, too, getting my knee bend back. Just those two things I think will separate myself."

Sewell played 22 snaps — the entire first quarter — during the Lions' 16-15 loss to the Buffalo Bills in their first preseason game.
