Lions Week Three Monday Practice Updates, Highlights

The Detroit Lions are changing things up for their Monday practice as training camp rolls on.

After exclusively hosting practice in the morning, Dan Campbell's team will take the field in front of fans in the evening Monday.

Ahead of Friday's preseason showdown with the Atlanta Falcons, the Lions are adjusting their camp schedule to give players a different look and replicate the ebbs and flows of game times during the season.

With so many primetime games on the schedule this year and last, the Lions have become accustomed to playing in the night hours. In doing this evening practice, Campbell is hoping to get the players adjusted to the change in routine that comes with playing later in the day.

"We do this once a year, we do this night practice. I just know, I always liked it as a player, it was a good changeup. It just kind of breaks the monotony of camp a little bit," Campbell said. "And then it’s, as to what our schedule has been over the last two to three years, you don’t know when you’re playing. You’re playing in the afternoon, you’re playing at night, you’re playing five days away, four days away, six days, seven across. So, it’s just how do we mix up things a little bit and get them used to a little bit of the chaos in a good way.”
