The Detroit Lions are gearing up for another NFL campaign after winning the NFC North title in 2024. Unfortunately, the team just got some unfortunate injury news before the start of the 2025 season.

The Lions offense is going through a transition period, as they lost their offensive coordinator Ben Johnson to the head coaching gig of the Chicago Bears this offseason. More than ever, training camp snaps, specifically in joint practices, are valuable for an offense that could see some growing pains under new OC John Morton.

Over his two seasons with the Detroit Lions to kick off his NFL career, Sam LaPorta has proven himself to be one of the elite tight ends in the league.
