Latest news from Lions
Tuesday, July 22
It's Day 3 of training camp and the Lions won't begin padded practices until Friday. However, head coach Dan Campbell stopped practice during a team period due to the physical nature and urged the team to tone it down. Safety Morice Norris was also removed from practice after a hard hit.
RB Sione Vaki (hamstring) and DL Roy Lopez were both held out of Tuesday's practice after Lopez had his foot stepped on with a cleat during Monday's session.
The Lions continue to manage injuries as five players are on the Active/PUP list, including veteran tackle Taylor Decker, who is projected to return after the Lions' Hall of Fame game versus the Los Angeles Chargers on July 31.
Rookie offensive lineman Miles Frazier is also dealing with a knee injury that'll keep him out until September or October, according to Campbell, while LB Malcolm Rodriguez (knee) is progressing but won't likely return until October. Second-year DL Mekhi Wingo (knee) could also return in September while veteran CB Khalil Dorsey (leg) could return by the end of training camp.
DL Brodric Martin left practice early and was being evaluated for a foot injury.
OL Jamarco Jones also left early due to cramping.
Campbell on the return of star edge Aidan Hutchinson: "Anytime you see one of your guys that you know what he brings to your team, you know what he brings on the field ... the production, the energy, the violence. It does give you a little boost, a little lift. For me, it's just good to see his confidence back in himself. That feels good to see."
