Ahmed Hassanein holding court after practice. Always gregarious and candid.

Caught up with Nate Lynn after Lions practice. He's excited to be back and healthy and showing he can be violent on the field. Smile on his face for our whole 7 minute conversation
As @Billy_Riccette wrote here, Terrion earned a lot of love from Sheppard. And he's had a GREAT camp so far. The holding and grabbing have been largely replaced by better anticipation and trust in his feet and his eyes

The internet has absolutely no idea what Lions rookie DL Keith Cooper Jr. looks like. He remains an enigmatic mystery. Three different pictures, three different guys, none of them are actually Coop.

This is completely inaccurate. Practice was paused today after a couple small scuffles. Resumed within minutes. Tuesday's practice was also paused for a bit but then continued with one player being removed.
For the second straight practice, Lions coach Dan Campbell pulled the plug early. This time, it was because of fighting. nbcsports.com/nfl/profootbal…
This is the absolute correct prism to view Manu at this point. The issue will be if it continues to remain so bloody raw
A guy who came to football later in his life is struggling with instincts at the pro level…am I wrong to just expect that and just show patience?

Kelvin Sheppard is a national treasure. Lions are very fortunate to have kept him. Whole lot of veteran coaching savvy already. Will have considerable notes from his presser later at @thelionswire

Back for a few days of Lions practices. Stay hydrated y'all, it's gonna be a scorcher...

John did a great job! We could have talked a lot longer. Check it out...
