Lions training camp observations: Jack Campbell dominates, OL struggles

Key Points:

• The Detroit Lions concluded their training camp week with a light, unpadded practice focusing on walkthroughs, individual drills, and short offensive drives, following several intense days including a long scrimmage on Sunday.
• Linebacker Jack Campbell made a significant impact in just nine plays, showcasing his skills in pass rush, coverage, and run defense by recording a sack, knocking down a pass, and making key tackles.
• The Lions appear to have settled on a starting offensive line, but the unit struggled with chemistry and missed assignments during practice, including a false start and a sack allowed due to a missed blitz pick-up.
• Second-team offense also showed issues with false starts and ineffective running plays, highlighting the need for the offensive line to improve cohesion before the regular season.
• Quarterback Josh Dobbs played one team rep, throwing a 20-yard touchdown to Jackson Meeks before an injury to another player ended third-team drills; Dobbs is expected to start in Saturday’s preseason game.
