Joint practices between the Detroit Lions and Indianapolis Colts have been a big hit for both squads. Being able to work directly against different guys than the players normally see in practice also offers the coaching staff an unusual chance to evaluate their players in different conditions.
As a result of the intensity and alacrity of the joint sessions the last two days, many Lions starters won’t play in Saturday’s preseason contest at Lucas Oil Field. The Lions starters on both sides of the ball saw considerable action against the Colts in the last two days of practice, and that will likely suffice for those who are established based on what head coach Dan Campbell said.
