Lions limit Wednesday practice to one hour, highlight nine players' performances
Head coach Dan Campbell reduced the Day 18 training camp session to a brief, low-contact drill, and nine Lions players were noted for their contributions.
Detroit head coach Dan Campbell shortened Wednesday's practice to a one-hour, shell-based session after describing the previous day's work as "humming in a good way." The limited drill featured only three offensive drives per unit and no full contact, resulting in few standout plays.
Wide receiver Amon-Ra St. Brown caught a 32-yard touchdown on a fourth-down play-action pass and later added a 15-yard reception in an end-of-game scenario. Running back Jahmyr Gibbs recorded two outside-zone runs of 9 and 8 yards, including a cutback past defensive end Aidan Hutchinson, and added a 7-yard reception. Left guard Ben Bartch handled the full workload for both the second- and third-team offensive lines, positioning himself for a potential backup role with one preseason game remaining.
Wide receiver Tay Martin, who is competing for a roster spot, secured two catches—a 6-yard drag route and a 17-yard middle route—after a drop in the previous preseason game. On defense, the report noted additional standouts, but details were not included in the excerpt.
