Detroit Lions training camp has now progressed to the point where fan will be in the stands. The season ticket holders and VIPs are waiting to catch Saturday's practice, the first one open to anyone outside the immediate Lions den of media or family members.

Head coach Dan Campbell speaks to reporters about yesterday's 1st practice with pads, the development of wide receiver Jameson Williams, and the intensity of camp so far.

Williams said he was excited for the first day of pads but didn't appear on the practice field, leading some to wonder if he'd picked up an injury.

Detroit Lions HC Dan Campbell stopped practice after Brian Branch and Amon-Ra St. Brown went at it multiple times at training camp.

Campbell expects to have both Arnold (calf) and Barnes (finger) for Friday's padded practice. The pair exited early on Thursday.

The Detroit Lions are aware veteran linebacker Alex Anzalone is seeking a new contract extension.

Detroit Lions head coach Dan Campbell had to stop practice this week due to two star players getting into multiple fights.

But maybe one of the most important defenders for the Lions in 2025 will be MIKE linebacker Jack Campbell. The third-year linebacker out of Iowa has really taken ownership of Kelvin Sheppard's defense, and he and Alex Anzalone are kind of the glue in the middle that connects the front four to the back end and makes it work seamlessly.

Tate Ratledge, the Detroit Lions' second-round pick in April, played right guard in practice Thursday for the first time in training camp.
