Two Detroit Lions key players on offense will likely be absent for the team’s second preseason game. Prior to Thursday’s practice, coach Dan Campbell announced that both running back D’Andre Swift and tight end T.J. Hockenson are not expected to play against the Pittsburgh Steelers on Saturday.
Swift, who has been sidelined with a lingering groin injury for most of the past couple of weeks, appears he’s starting to ramp up participation levels and is expected get some team reps on Thursday.
“Swift’s going to do a little bit more today,” Campbell said.
