The Detroit Lions hit the midway point in their Organized Team Activity practices on Thursday with their fifth of 10 practices. It was a blistering hot day, and a little shorter of a practice than we witnessed last week. So the notebook was a little lighter Thursday, with just one 11-on-11 session and one 7-on-7 session during the entire practice.
