The Detroit Lions took part in their first post-cuts practice on Thursday morning, and because we are now in “regular season mode,” the media is only present during warmups and individual drills to essentially take attendance.
The most notable change was that edge defender Julian Okwara returned to practice. Okwara had not practiced since August 4, but now he appears on pace to potentially play in the season opener against the Philadelphia Eagles in less than two weeks.
Last week, coach Dan Campbell said of all the injured players, Okwara was the closest to being available for Week 1.
