Pride of Detroit
Following their second preseason game of 2025, the Detroit Lions returned home from Atlanta and were back on the practice field on Monday morning. There’s been a lot of roster shuffling since the Lions last practiced in Allen Park, and we’ll update you on all the relevant injury movement.
At different points throughout camp, several players on the Lions’ injury lists have been spotted working out with trainers in front of the media. On Monday, Frazier, Wingo, and Rodriguez were all seen working out on the Lions’ training hill at the back of their facility. So far, the only player not seen working out in some fashion has been McNeill, who is not expected to return until October.
Vaki injured his hamstring on Day 2 of training camp, missed roughly a week, but was able to return after the Chargers game. Unfortunately, after two full practices, he missed Wednesday’s practice, Friday’s game against the Falcons, and remained out on Monday. He was seen working with trainers, which is a positive sign for his return.
Patrick left practice early last Wednesday with an undisclosed injury and was still not practicing on Monday. It’s still not entirely clear what is holding him out, and he was not among the players coach Dan Campbell mentioned as injured during his morning press conference, but he was spotted after practice working on his catching skills with the jugs machine.
It’s unclear what Kennedy is dealing with. He played 30 snaps during Detroit’s preseason game against the Falcons and did not appear to leave with an injury.
Lovett, O’Connor, and Arnold remain out as well, though only Arnold was seen working out with trainers on the training hill.
Colon, who injured his elbow against the Falcons, is going to be “out for a while,” according to Campbell, and was replaced by Kingsley Eguakun as the second-team center.
Norris, who suffered a concussion that required an emergency hospital evaluation in Atlanta, has returned to Allen Park with his teammates and is in the league’s protocol. Campbell noted that Norris will be reevaluated in 10-14 days, as the team exercises the utmost precautions with his recovery.
“Everybody was fired up to see him,” Campbell noted of Norris’ return to Allen Park. “It’s a breath of fresh air, man. That’s hard when something like that happens, and you don’t know.”
