Before the Detroit Lions took the field on Tuesday for the first day of mandatory minicamp, coach Dan Campbell warned that there would be a lot of players sitting out during practice.
“Oh probably 15-20 guys, maybe 30,” Campbell said through a wry smile. “We’ll find out when we get out there.”
Turns out Campbell was exaggerating quite a bit. The Lions were actually quite healthy with only 10 players completely sitting out of practice.
Here’s a full report from Tuesday’s practice.
