Notes: Patricia: Daniels, Snacks ‘true professionals’ who will be ready Week 1

Despite missing a solid chunk of practice time this offseason, Matt Patricia isn’t concerned that two of his top players will be ready to go in a few weeks.

Mike Daniels and Damon “Snacks” Harrison are both 30 years old, both eight-year league veterans, and both expected to lead the Lions defensive line this season. But both will agree that they’ve got a ways to go to get to where they need to be, according to Matt Patricia.

“There’s a lot of reps missed there that both of them are trying to do the best they can,” he told reporters Monday afternoon.
