Lions Second Padded Practice Updates, Highlights

The Detroit Lions are conducting their second practice in front of fans on Saturday, the day that marks their sixth training camp practice of the 2025 season.

Coach Dan Campbell has built one of the league's best teams, and as a result there's plenty of excitement generated for this year's Lions team. After the disappointing end to last season, the team has plenty of motivation for what it hopes is another run at a Super Bowl in 2025.

Additionally, Campbell and general manager Brad Holmes have found several foundational players who have become long-term members of the organization. As a result, the team has grown up together and many of the players who came to Detroit in younger stages of their careers now have families attending training camp practices.

“It’s just flown. It’s crazy, it really is. It’s awesome. It’s a good feeling to see that, to watch these guys just grow and mature and now here they go," Campbell said. "The young families and they’re just starting their life. Really, I mean they’re just starting their life. And to know where they’ve come from and then you realize how old you are and it just happens fast. It really does. But, I’m happy for all those guys. I love our dudes, man.”

The Lions will be fully padded once again Saturday before taking Sunday off. Detroit begins its preseason slate in less than a week, as they will take on the Los Angeles Chargers in the Hall of Fame Game on Thursday, July 31.
