The Detroit Lions were a little more shorthanded during Week 2 of Organized Team Activities (OTAs) than they were the previous week. Some of the injuries we already knew about, some are new, and some could simply be excused absences.
Coach Dan Campbell explained that the purpose of these OTAs is to improve mentally, so they aren’t going to take any physical risks.
“We do have a number of guys that we are going to sit, just to be smart with today,” Campbell said. “So, I know you guys are going to want to know—we’re going to probably have 10, 12 guys out, and it’s just preventative.
