Allen Park — The Detroit Lions will welcome a familiar face to practice this week with retired linebacker Stephen Tulloch coming in to work with some of the team’s young talent.
“Anybody who played as long as he played, as well as he played, there’s always something to offer,” Lions coach Jim Caldwell said. “I think more so than anything else, the young guys could certainly learn something from the way in which he handled himself, on and off the field, and also how he took care of his body.”
Under Caldwell, a number of former players have helped on the practice field, including kicker Jason Hanson and offensive tackle Jeff Backus.
