The Detroit Lions close out training camp this week with a pair of practices before their preseason finale against the Pittsburgh Steelers. Before practice, coach Dan Campbell explained that there are two main goals for Tuesday’s and Wednesday’s practices.
“The trick here is to continue to get, really the core of this team prepared for game one (vs. the Rams), but also continue to develop the back end of the roster yet knowing they’re going to take a majority of these reps against Pittsburgh,” Campbell said.
The first, second, and third teams all got a good amount of work on Tuesday, although the intensity was a little down, given that the team was in shells (not fully padded).
