Lions' Dan Campbell Ahead of Rams Game: Nice Not to Have to Worry About Aaron Donald

Dan Campbell is not going to miss game planning against Aaron Donald.

The Detroit Lions head coach spoke with Tim Twentyman of DetroitLions.com prior to the team's season opener against the Los Angeles Rams. He noted how the absence of Donald as something that will make his job a little easier.

"You needed to know where he was at all times, really on all downs," Campbell said, per Twentyman. "It was constantly – you were shifting and motioning just for him, and you're damn near doing it every play."

That doesn't mean he is taking the Rams defense lightly, as he acknowledged the strong young talent in Jared Verse, Braden Fiske and Kobie Turner and how they will give his team some trouble.
