The Detroit Lions took the field on Tuesday afternoon for their sixth offseason practice, but their first mandatory minicamp session. Minicamp is a little different, and not just because it’s mandatory. Practice sessions are a little longer—30 minutes, according to head coach Matt Patricia. Additionally, players have a full slate of activities for the day, upwards of 10 hours of on and off-the-field activities.
With practice taking on a little more intensity, here’s what I noted from Tuesday’s session.
As expected, Damon Harrison Sr. and Darius Slay were both absent from Allen Park.
