This is my 13th training camp covering the Detroit Lions for the Free Press and I can’t remember a single one where the background noise wasn’t filled with pleas of, “Stay off the ground,” by coaches. There’s some of that this year, too, certainly. Pile ups lead to more player injuries, and that’s the last thing

Allen Park — Over the weekend, the Lions released a hype video featuring practice highlights and a voiceover from running back Jamaal Williams, who was giving a speech to teammates with a tagline of “Lock the gates.” Williams, a fan favorite for his goofy personality off the football field, said that he’s “just trying to

Allen Park — Detroit Lions wide receiver Quintez Cephus suffered an injury early during Tuesday morning’s training camp practice, requiring assistance from multiple trainers to return to the practice facility for further evaluation.

Malcolm Rodriguez has made a good impression from the start, and he seems set to actually win a starting job in the Lions’ linebacking corps during training camp.

As a football player, Aidan Hutchinson has done nothing but impress his teammates through the first five practices of training camp. As a singer, Hutchinson is apparently pretty good, too. Detroit Lions coach Dan Campbell said Hutchinson delivered a memorable rendition of the Michael Jackson song “Billie Jean” as part of the team’s rookie initiation on
Allen Park — There was a theme at Lions training camp on Monday. With pads going on for the first time this year, Detroit’s offensive and defensive linemen couldn’t help but use that old cliché: “Iron sharpens iron.” But, to be fair, it’s a cliché because it’s true. And the supposed strength of Detroit’s team, its offensive

Allen Park — It was hardly a fair fight. But that’s how you win on a football field: By creating mismatches … and then exploiting them. So there was poor Jeff Okudah — the Lions’ hard-luck cornerback in the midst of an early-career comeback this summer — in a team drill Monday at training camp,

Allen Park — The Detroit Lions forced Aidan Hutchinson out of his self-imposed shell this week. In his first couple months with the franchise, Hutchinson has been all business, largely keeping his head down and his mouth shut. That’s exactly what he said he would do the night he was drafted by the franchise No. 2 overall.
