Here are my overall thoughts on the Detroit Lions’ fifth day of training camp.
Participation report
The big news was that Devon Kennard was back in pads after starting training camp on the Non-Football Injury list. But Kennard participated in individual drills and walkthroughs only. Once the real hitting and team drills began, Kennard was on the sidelines. At one point, however, Kennard was working one-on-one with defensive coordinator Paul Pasqualoni on his handwork for about five minutes.
The Lions had quite a few new players on the sidelines for Wednesday’s practice.
