After a day off on Thursday, the Detroit Lions returned to the practice field in Allen Park for their fifth practice of training camp. The Lions welcomed in “friends and family” of team employees for this practice and donned pads for the first time this offseason.
Attendance/injury
Jameson Williams, Marvin Jones, and C.J. Gardner-Johnson all continued to work with trainers on Friday, with each looking much sharper than they did before the break. Halapoulivaati Vaitai and Brian Branch returned to practice after taking Wednesday off. Vaitai looked like he was being worked back in slowly but Branch was full go and making an impact.
