  • Lions scrap joint practices after 9-8 season

    Lions scrap joint practices after 9-8 season
    May 20 2026
    The Detroit Lions have officially released their 2026 preseason schedule, featuring matchups against the Cincinnati Bengals, Washington Commanders, and Indianapolis Colts. This upcoming summer session marks a significant tactical shift, as head coach Dan Campbell intends to eliminate joint practices with other teams. Campbell believes focusing exclusively on internal drills and situational work will be more productive for the roster than the inter-squad sessions used in previous years. Consequently, starting players may see increased playing time during the three exhibition games to compensate for the lack of external competition during camp. This strategic change follows a disappointing season where the team narrowly missed the playoffs, prompting a renewed emphasis on fundamentals and internal discipline. The announcement also highlights current roster activities, showcasing various players participating in ongoing offseason conditioning.
