NOTEBOOK: Abdullah, Hunt make most of first plays
Mike O’Hara covers all the news from Monday’s practice including how Ameer Abdullah and Phillip Hunt made the most of their first plays as Lions, Matthew Stafford’s take on his injury and more.
First touches couldn’t have produced much better results for two Lions who came from vastly different backgrounds to make their presence felt in the Lions’ season-opening loss at San Diego.
Rookie running back Ameer Abdullah turned his first regular-season carry into a 24-yard touchdown run on the Lions’ first possession. It was the kind of play the Lions envisioned Abdullah making when they drafted him in the second round.
