Jameson Williams is dealing with a minor shoulder issue and Nick Whiteside has a mild hamstring strain. Neither injury is considered serious.

Dan Campbell on Tate Ratledge taking center snaps yesterday. "One way or another, he's gonna have to be able to help us there if it comes down to that." Says he probably won't get any center reps tonight. Juice Scruggs and Seth McLaughlin will split first-team reps

More flexibility in the secondary than the O-Line. Says it will just take time and reps for the O-Line.

Still an open competition for the starting nickel spot. Happy that they have multiple guys who can compete for that job and just needs to see who can do what.

Onwuzurike has been on a ramp up plan and will be out there for practice today.

Says Alim McNeill looks great after now being fully removed from injury recovery mode and being able to fully attack again.

Acknowledges that "this is a special place" and that he knows that they have amazing fans when asked about the fanbase and their support.

Significant amount of starters will play vs. Commanders but "not everybody". Wouldn't say who specifically "yet".

Today’s practice will be padded with a lot of non-scripted periods

Campbell says he frequently lets played know where they stand (ie: you’re not “in” now and here’s why)

Gill-Howard is quick, explosive and plays with leverage. But most impressively, he’s improved in eating double teams

Melvin Priestly has power and a lot of ability. He’s just adjusting mentally to guard.

Campbell will continue to be the one to throw the challenge flag even though a new rule allows him to delegate

Levi Onwuzurike is having a strong camp. He looks healthy and is one of the strongest players on the defense. But is playing a little high lately.

Campbell is not surprised by the interest in Terrion. Calls him a good kid and the whole situation here was just “unfortunate”.

Talked about situational drills, including a “let the offense score” drill. He hates it but it’s necessary sometimes. Says they would never let the offense score if they needed a touchdown.

Dan Campbell said he liked a number of things in the run game from the O-line in Thursday's game against the Bengals.

With Scruggs returning, the Lions plan to work him in at center. They will also experiment working Tate Ratledge into the mix as well, just to be prepared.

Dan Campbell asked if Christian Mahogany is close to locking up the starting LG job. “This is still an ongoing battle." "We've gotta find the five best."

Dan Campbell on Seth McLaughlin “His niche is playing low, he's quick, he's super sharp...and then pass game is the anchor. ... He's gotta do double what someone else does. ... I thought he did that the other night."I certainly was not disappointed in him."

Campbell says Derrick Moore, D.J. Reed, Sione Vaki should be working their way back today in practice.

Campbell says on the third-and-long the mistake wasn't on Ennis Rakestraw. There was supposed to be an underneath defender that had a missed assignment.

Dan Campbell gives a strong shoutout to Chris Smith. Said there was a play where they only had 10 players on the field and Smith instinctively moved from the 1 to the 0-tech to even it out and battled 3 players.

Dan Campbell says Kye Robichaux has a broken bone in his foot. Jacob Saylors has an ankle tweak but should miss just a day or two. Isiah Pacheco won't be back this week. Hence the RB signing of Trayveon Williams.
