The Detroit Lions announced their training camp schedule last week, and, as expected, it featured a set of joint practices with the New England Patriots before their preseason opener on August 8. It will be another chance for Lions head coach Matt Patricia to square off against his mentor, Bill Belichick.
The following week, Patricia will get a chance to compete with another former colleague. The Houston Texans released their training camp schedule over the weekend, and it includes two joint practices with the Lions on August 14 and 15.
