Lions get punishment after admitting to work rule violations

During their recent off-season activities, the Detroit Lions engaged in excessive on-field contact.

NFL teams are in the OTA season, and many of them are looking to develop players and unearth hidden stars. The Detroit Lions, who are preparing for a new season under head coach Dan Campbell, are one such team. It appears that the Lions’ desire for rough play backfired on them this Friday amidst their ongoing activities.

Adam Schefter, an ESPN insider, shared a photo of Campbell on Instagram along with the following caption:

Josh Reynolds, Jonah Jackson, and C.J. Gardner Johnson may have left the squad, but they were rewarded with a slew of new players. The defence will be strengthened by D.J. Reader (DT), Carlton Davis (CB), and Marcus Davenport (DE), while lineman Kevin Zeitler steps in to take Jackson’s spot at guard.

The holdovers show that most of the faces from the previous year are still there. Aside from Goff and St. Brown, the Lions’ offensive line will consist of Sam LaPorta, David Montgomery, Jameson Williams, and Kalif Raymond. Aidan Hutchinson, the defence attorney,
