Pride Of Detroit • • sports
Key Points:
- The Detroit Lions announced their three-game preseason schedule, featuring matchups against the Cincinnati Bengals, Washington Commanders, and Indianapolis Colts, though specific dates and times are yet to be released.
- Coach Dan Campbell indicated the team will not hold joint practices with opponents this preseason, meaning interactions will be limited to game days only.
- Due to the lack of joint practices, Campbell suggested he might play starters more during the preseason games than in previous years to give them more game experience.
- The preseason schedule includes two away games (at Bengals and Colts) and one home game (against the Commanders), with all games expected to be televised on the Detroit Lions TV Network.
- Further details on game dates and local broadcast channels will be announced soon, likely within a week of the initial schedule release.
