Detroit Lions for @TheAthletic. Mizzou grad. @WelcomeToDetPod. It's just Twitter. It's not that deep.
Frank Ragnow once said offensive linemen don’t get much of the glory. That you have to love football to play the position. Ragnow loved this game, even when it didn’t love him back. Now more than ever, he deserves all the glory. Column: nytimes.com/athletic/63988…
Lions LB Alex Anzalone ‘disappointed’ over contract situation: nytimes.com/athletic/65092…
Lions LB and team captain Alex Anzalone says he believes he's underpaid relative to other LBs in the league. Wants the opportunity to retire a Lion. Shared this with the front office long ago and is disappointed with how things have unfolded, entering the final year of his deal.
Lions DT Brodric Martin left practice early on Tuesday and is being evaluated for a foot injury, per the team.
Physical practice today. Dan Campbell went out of his way on multiple occasions to tone down things down, warning the team to ease up. First time I’ve seen him kick a player out (DB Morice Norris) for being too physical. Lions are still in shorts. Pads go on this Friday.
Alex Anzalone just spoke. Said he wants to retire a Lion. Deferred contract questions to Dan Campbell and Brad Holmes. Said he expressed his desire for an extension long ago. Clearly frustrated it’s dragged out this long but wants to be around the team in the meantime.
Hamstring injury for Vaki
Dan Campbell says RB Sione Vaki and DT Roy Lopez won't practice today. Will need a few days, but Campbell doesn't think their injuries are major.
“It’s not like we're going from Ben & AG to some coaches that don't know anything,” Amon-Ra St. Brown told me. “Don’t act like we’re bringing in a scrub. These coaches know ball.” My latest from Lions HQ, featuring the plan for replacing the 3 they lost👇🏽 sports.yahoo.com/nfl/article/do…
Jets training camp is going to look, sound and feel different under Aaron Glenn. Expect a higher level of intensity than we’ve seen the last few years — Glenn will accept no less. The style: “We get hit in the mouth, we’re going to get back up.” On how things will look…
Quiet
Keep in mind Colton had one (1) person vote on this
Lions RB Sione Vaki left practice early and is being evaluated for a leg injury, per the team.
Dan Campbell says Alex Anzalone is dealing with a hamstring injury. Doesn't have a timetable for his return.
Dan Campbell said Levi Onwuzurike's ACL injury "crept up" after the season. He dealt with soreness, as most players do. His knee bothered him about a month after he re-signed with the Lions. Kept monitoring it and determined surgery was needed. Had to get it taken care of.
