The Detroit Lions have been relatively fortunate on the injury front through the first two days of training camp. Where other teams have seen starters go down, the Lions have suffered just a couple of maladies to players who aren’t key performers.
Lions head coach Dan Campbell offered an update on the two players who left Thursday’s practice with injuries.
Tight end Devin Funchess “tweaked” a groin late in practice, per Campbell. The veteran will not participate in Friday’s practice. Campbell did not seem too concerned about any lengthy absence for Funchess, who has started camp playing well.
The tone was different with Greg Bell. The undrafted rookie running back dropped to the ground in major distress during a passing drill. Campbell described it as a hip/groin issue and that Bell will be more thoroughly examined today by the Lions’ medical staff.
