Dan Campbell was toying with playing his starters in every game this preseason. Now that he has seen them in action, the first-year Detroit Lions coach is starting to reconsider those plans.
Campbell said Thursday he will hold several key veterans, including possibly quarterback Jared Goff, out of Saturday's second preseason game against the Pittsburgh Steelers.
The Lions also play the Steelers in Week 10 of the regular season.
"I think whatever we do this week will be pretty much the same as next week (for the preseason finale)," Campbell said. "So whatever this ends up being, I think it will probably play out very similar next week.
