ALLEN PARK, Mich. – Eli Apple felt like the Lions were picking on him a bit on Wednesday’s joint practice. It may have been just coincidence that many of their passes were thrown in his direction, but the third-year cornerback still felt it. That he was having trouble stopping many of them only exacerbated the matter.
There was a leaping catch in the end zone by Chris Lacy who essentially posterized Apple in seven-on-seven drills, and a pass interference penalty against Apple in the two-minute drill that brought the Lions across midfield and close to the range of what would have been a game-winning field goal.
