The Detroit Lions held one final training camp practice in Allen Park before heading to the Indianapolis area for joint practices with the Colts. One area of concern from Monday's practice was the sudden disappearance of Halapoulivaati Vaitai from the practice field.
“At some point during Monday’s practice, starting right guard Halapoulivaati Vaitai left practice,” Jeremy Reisman wrote in his observations. “No reporters saw what happened, so we cannot speculate what is going on, but he was replaced by Tommy Kraemer in the starting lineup.”
After watching the offensive line dominate the Lions' first preseason game, several fans expressed concern over Vaitai’s potential injury, surely reflecting on last season when the offensive line was unable to share a single snap together as a full unit due to injury.
