Wake up, Detroit Lions fans! It’s time for Day 3 of training camp, and it’s the first open to the general public. Gates open at 8:15 a.m. ET, and practice will kick off about an hour after that.
But it’s not just the first day of practice open to everyone, it’s also the first day of padded practice. This means no more drills taken at a walk-through pace. No more trying to analyze the play of offensive and defensive linemen without any true contract. This is real football practice ready to be played, and we’re more than excited to be there to witness the action.
