As COVID-19 cases spike across the NFL, the Detroit Lions are returning to practice as normal.
The Lions held their second full-team practice in 12 days on Wednesday, the same day the NFL placed the organization in enhanced COVID protocols.
Lions coach Dan Campbell said having a normal practice schedule was essential for players, even as they face more restrictions around the team facility.
"We thought about every scenario, but I know that there’s a fine line," Campbell said. "I mean, we need the work. We got a lot of new faces that need looks and you’re going to fight that balance between do you have a roster to play a game, but also preparing them and making it fair for them to go in there and prepare properly to play a game.
