Tim Patrick is the man who refuses to stop Had been working on a feature about Patrick’s story back to the NFL for a couple weeks, then he scored his first two TDs in 1,000-plus days. Tim Patrick and the Lions’ shared story of resilience and redemption mlive.com/lions/2024/12/…

Sounds like the Lions rookies will play in the HOF game and potentially more past that in the preseason, per Dan Campbell. "Not written in stone ... " but that's where they are leaning.

Rookie Lions DL Tyleik Williams was not spotted at practice yesterday, Dan Campbell said that was for personal reasons.

INTERVIEW: Talking Lions training camp with MLive's @BenjaminSRaven. His observations: Aidan Hutchinson is "an animal," and looks 100 percent -- and Marcus Davenport stands out. Oh! You've read his Lions work, but did you know Ben trained in Canada to be a professional wrestler?

I asked #Lions DE Ahmed Hassanein which veteran he’s leaning on so far in camp and what’s one of the early lessons he’s learned during his transition to the NFL. Measured, thoughtful response from Hassanein, who consistently expressed gratitude for being with the Lions.

#Lions DL Tyleik Williams was not present at today’s practice, one day after noting how excited he was to put pads on. S Ian Kennelly not present either. We’ll hopefully get more clarity on that soon. WR Tim Patrick was working off to side with trainers, taking it easy.

get you a beat partner like @KoryEWoods. Threw down a extra poncho just in case.

Dan Campbell said this is the first real day of evaluation, "and now we go." Pads are on today.

This is not accurate. Campbell stopped practice for like 2 minutes to stop the scuffles. But practice resumed for like another hour. It was not cut short.

Sources: #Lions CB Terrion Arnold left practice today with a strained calf. I’m told the team plans to be cautious before putting him back on the field. LB Derrick Barnes, who also left practice, should be fine.

Work smarter not harder

Me to Goff:

Lions QB Jared Goff said Tim Patrick pulled a Benjamin Button and aged in reverse over the offseason. Patrick has looked good from OTAs through first four days. A lot of weapons on that offense.
