Detroit Lions training camp observation: 5 standouts from Monday’s unorthodox practice

On Monday, Dan Campbell and the Detroit Lions coaching staff took a unique approach to practice. With plenty of starters sitting in Saturday’s game against the Steelers, the Lions used Monday’s practice to give those players—-and those that only played a handful of snaps—a day of practice, while everyone else had the day off.

So the roster was cut in half on Monday, and the players out there only participated in a short, one-hour practice that was focused almost exclusively on one-on-ones.

“It’s really not a practice, it’s more of a one-on-one is what we’re going to do,” Campbell said Monday morning.
