DESCRIPTION
The Lions held their first padded practice of training camp, and it wasn't what anyone expected. Mike Payton breaks down why Detroit Lions practice was noticeably less physical than in previous Dan Campbell training camps, while highlighting the biggest winners, key position battles, and injury updates from Day 5. From Jacob Saylors making a strong push for a roster spot to DJ Reed looking fully healthy again, there's plenty to unpack from the first day in pads.
