Lions camp notebook, Day 6: Standouts and injuries

Tuesday, July 30th marked the sixth practice session of Detroit Lions training camp and the second day in full pads. On a cloudy, dank morning in Allen Park, a near-capacity crowd didn’t get as much action to get raucous about with a more subdued set of offense vs. defense drills. A considerable portion of the middle of practice revolved around special teams action, which is not as fan-friendly to watch.

After going several days without needing more than low-grade attention from the training staff, Tuesday saw a couple of unpleasant injuries befall the Lions. Several defensive players upped their games even on a field that was a little slick from overnight precipitation.

Here’s some of what I saw and heard at Tuesday’s practice.
