D’Andre Swift is nearing a return to practice. Detroit Lions coach Dan Campbell said Swift will not practice Monday, but should be back on the field for the team’s final public practice of training camp Tuesday.

Bobby Price has quite the challenge — and quite the opportunity. Price, the Detroit Lions’ second-year defensive back, is a few days into a position change that head coach Dan Campbell said could unlock his massive potential.

Detroit — Detroit Lions quarterback Jared Goff wasn’t sure he had even met Craig Reynolds, the running back the team had signed a day before Friday’s preseason game against the Buffalo Bills.
