The Detroit Lions held their first practice of Week 1 open to the media on Saturday, and all but one player on the 53-man roster was accounted for on the field. Defensive tackle Isaiah Buggs was the only player who was not out there participating during the first 15 minutes of practice—which is all the media is permitted to watch during the season.
Buggs appeared to suffer an injury in the Lions’ preseason finale against the Carolina Panthers. It’s unclear what injury he’s dealing with or if it’s considered serious. At this point, it’s not even entirely certain that his absence on Saturday is injury related.
