ALLEN PARK, Mich. -- Some thoughts, observations and analysis after the second open practice of Detroit Lions training camp Monday.
1. Darren Fells had a good day: With Eric Ebron sitting out due to a hamstring injury, the Lions looked a lot to the offseason free-agent signing from Arizona to play with the No. 1 unit as both a blocker and a receiver. Already one of the better blocking tight ends in the league, Fells showed he has some hands Monday. His best catch came over the middle from Matthew Stafford, where he grabbed the ball in front of safety Tavon Wilson and progressed down the field.
