The Detroit Lions kicked off their final week of preseason practices on Monday and there were a few notable returns and omissions from the attendance sheet.
First, let’s start on the offensive line. After missing an entire week of practice, T.J. Lang was suited up in full pads and went through all of the individual drills (the only part open to the media). Lang has been the one missing piece of the offensive line, having sat for all three preseason games thus far. The Lions used his absence as an opportunity to test their offensive line depth, mixing in Frank Ragnow, Kenny Wiggins, Joe Dahl and Leo Koloamatangi in with the first-stringers, though none appeared to rise to the occasion.
