Friday’s practice session was moved indoors at the Detroit Lions training facility in Allen Park due to thunderstorms in the area. The move inside kept the media closed out from watching the session, as well as postponing the team’s live stream from camp for another day.
Several prominent Lions players sat out the practice with a varying range of injuries. Among the Detroit walking wounded who were held out of practice:
LT Taylor Decker – practiced Thursday but was “a little sore” according to head coach Matt Patricia.
DE Trey Flowers – the exact same status as Decker, soreness and more of a veteran day off than any real injury
RB D’Andre Swift – the unspecified lower-body injury that has kept Swift from practicing for most of the last 10 days continues to plague the rookie RB.
RB Bo Scarbrough
FB Nick Bawden
DE Da’Shawn Hand
TE Hunter Bryant
Coach Patricia said of the latter foursome, “a day of rest, (they’re all) on kind of the same program.” Scarbrough has been in and out for most of camp.
The Lions will be back outside (weather permitting) on Saturday morning.
