What did Dan Campbell Say?
On Saturday, Campbell spoke to the media and he started with a one-word answer.
“Maybe,” Campbell said.
He then continued. “Ask Brad.”
“There’ll be some things that could come up,” he said. “Now, Brad’s been grinding. I mean, he hasn’t stopped on that, so that’ll continue, that’ll go all the way up to game time, beyond, but that won’t affect me or us or anything we do. We’re business as usual.”

The pressure mounts as the Lions prepare for a Monday night game just hours before the trade deadline expires at 4 p.m. on Tuesday.
