Joint practices with Raiders offer Lions welcome break from routine

Allen Park — Lions linebacker Jarrad Davis couldn’t help but crack a devilish grin when asked if he was excited to finally hit somebody in a different jersey this week.

"Oh, most definitely,” Davis said. “Can't really even describe it. It's going to be a special moment. It's going to be fun to go out and do it for the first time this year."

The Lions promptly packed their bags following Monday’s practice and flew out west, where they’ll spend some quality time with the Oakland Raiders.

The teams will hold joint practices Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday at the Raiders’ training facility in Napa, Calif.
