5 things to watch for from Detroit Lions - Houston Texans joint practices

The Detroit Lions are in Houston for their second set of joint practices. Again, the Lions will face another coaching staff Matt Patricia is well familiar with as Texans head coach Bill O’Brien sprouted from the same Bill Belichick tree as he did.

Last week, the Lions went head-to-head against the Patriots in three practices, but were outclassed in the preseason game. Detroit is hoping to be a little more competitive this week, both in their set of two practices and their exhibition game against the Texans on Saturday.

Practices kick off on Wednesday morning, so here’s what to look for.
