Each training camp, the Detroit Lions typically hold an inter-squad scrimmage near the end of the second week of training camp. Typically the Lions hold this practice at Ford Field as part of their “Family Day” events, but with the stadium booked for WWE Summerslam, the Lions opted to hold keep this practice in Allen Park.
This practice is designed to help the team prepare for game-like activity, and with Week 1 of the preseason just over a week away, Thursday provided the Lions with the ideal opportunity.
Attendance/Injury updates
In addition to Emmanuel Moseley (PUP) and Hendon Hooker (NFI) remaining on their respective injury lists, Ifeatu Melifonwu (reported knee injury) and Frank Ragnow also missed their second practice in a row.
