First one defensive lineman went down, then another.

By the time the Detroit Lions finished their fourth practice of training camp Sunday, just four of the 14 defensive linemen on their roster were still on the field.

Second-year defensive tackle Da'Shawn Hand suffered a left arm injury on the first play of the first period of practice Sunday.

Hand, who finished last season on injured reserve with a sprained MCL in his right knee, was taking part in a four-on-three rush drill, where three interior offensive linemen block four defensive players, when he grabbed at his left elbow.
