The Detroit Lions officially close training camp on Wednesday, and they’re going out with a bang. Tuesday’s practice was quite possibly the most intense and physical of any of the past month. Not only was the entire practice just a huge scrimmage—even with a 10-minute halftime break inside the building—but they went live tackling for the entire day, as well.
Clearly, coach Dan Campbell was trying to come as close to simulating preseason action while maintaining control of the situation and setting up scenarios that he wants to work on.
“We’re going to try to put a load on our guys,” Campbell said before practice.
