On Thursday, the Detroit Lions concluded their required minicamp with a quick practice.
Coach Dan Campbell said that the veterans’ spring practice would be their last one, with all of the attention going towards the younger players during next week’s OTAs. Nearly all of the injury updates that Campbell gave during his last spring press conference were encouraging.
Pride of Detroit’s Jeremy Reisman reports that Emmanuel Moseley, Craig James, Brian Branch, Taylor Decker, Kevin Zeitler, DJ Reader, Kyle Peko, and Khalil Dorsey were among the important players that skipped practice.
Khalil Dorsey update
The good news began with Khalil Dorsey, who suffered a lower leg injury on Wednesday and had to be taken off the pitch. According to Campbell, Dorsey’s injury was not serious: “We have good news about him, so he should be fine.” It appears to be a small ankle, so he should be fine.
DJ Reader’s Uncertainty
Emmanuel Moseley and Marcus Davenport should be prepared for training camp, according to Campbell, but DJ Reader may not start right away.
Reader would be the one to decide when he is ready to begin training, Campbell stressed, adding that the delay was planned and not a setback. However, that is not something that surprises us. We anticipated that this would require a moment.
After a day off, Jahmyr Gibbs and Marcus Davenport returned to the trainers. As the team gets closer to their break, Campbell noted that this was the greatest mobility from Davenport he had seen during camp.
Frank Ragnow and Awosika are still not allowed to engage in team drills, but Joseph is still allowed to walkthrough and work with trainers. Joseph has been the most active player during his recovery out of all the injured players.
In summary, Hope Springs Eternal
Positive injury updates provide hope for the Detroit Lions, both as a team and as fans, as they wind up their minicamp.
The Lions are positioned themselves for success early in the season with key players anticipated back for training camp.
Dan Campbell’s dedication to assembling a strong and ready squad is demonstrated by his pro-active communication and handling of player injuries.
The Lions are concentrating on preparation and recuperation during this offseason to set themselves up for a successful season.
