ALLEN PARK -- For lo, the winter is past, the rain is over and gone. The flowers appear on the earth. The time of the singing of birds is come, and the voice of the turtle is heard in our land.
Thanks, Ernie. And with that, let's play some ball.
The Lions kick off the Matt Patricia era today with the start of the offseason conditioning program. Workouts are optional, but most healthy players usually attend, and especially so when there's a new coaching staff in place.
Patricia won't be able to get Matthew Stafford and the rest of the squad on the field, per the CBA.
