Preseason football isn’t something to take too seriously, but it is important. The Detroit Lions have much to work on, but lots to look forward to.
A huge priority to get the running game going was emphasized in the first exhibition matchup of 2018. An interesting absence for the Lions against the Oakland Raiders was running back Theo Riddick.
Not only has he been quiet in training camp, he missed the game with an unknown injury. Most of his running mates were impressive. All but one running back had at least four yards per carry.
