Lions scrimmage observations: Rookie tight ends make themselves at home

Detroit — The Lions took training camp on the road, in a manner of speaking, moving Friday's practice from their training facility in Allen Park to the friendly confines of Ford Field.

Nearly 20,000 fans were in attendance for "Family Fest," with the centerpiece of the event being a full-team scrimmage. The unique scoring system pitted the offense against the defense, with the latter being able to score points via third- and fourth-down stops and turnovers.

It ended up being a tight matchup, with the short-handed defense prevailing in the end thanks to a pair of second-half interceptions.
