Allen Park — Here are some notes and observations from Monday's Detroit Lions training camp practice.
u25ba The Lions conducted their first official practice of the offseason and the session, which was open to local media, didn't feel all that different from normal outside of some of the protocols required to enter the outdoor field. For myself and a small group of reporters that cover the team daily, that includes daily COVID testing, a separate, socially distant bleacher, and monitoring chips that alert us when when were too close to other reporters and/or Lions staffers.
u25ba The abbreviated practice ran approximately one hour and 15 minutes and included individual drills, head-to-head segments pitting position groups against each other, an Oklahoma drill variant the team has run in the past, special teams work, 7-on-7s and full-team scrimmage without tackling.
