Craig Reynolds had quite the 48 hours.
It started with a missed flight, ended with his first NFL touchdown, and included some harried introductions in between.
“I introduced myself in the huddle at one point,” Reynolds, the newly signed Detroit Lions running back, said after a 16-15 preseason-opening loss to the Buffalo Bills at Ford Field. “They were like, ‘Yo, what’s your name?’ A couple coaches introduced themselves to me on the sideline during the game. It’s definitely crazy, but like I said, they just made it real easy.”
Reynolds made his only-in-the-preseason odyssey look easy Friday, rushing for a team-high 49 yards on six carries, endearing himself to coach Dan Campbell in the process.
