- With the regular season still months away, the Lions are taking a cautious approach by sitting out players with any lingering injury concerns during OTAs.
Dan Campbell gives injury update on David Montgomery and Malcolm Rodriguez
Prior to practice, Campbell told reporters that neither Montgomery nor Rodriguez suffered a serious injury last week, but both players will sit out of today's practice. Campbell also noted that there will be a total of 10-12 players who will not practice on Thursday.
Bottom Line: Good news on the injury front
The bottom line here, obviously, is that Montgomery and Rodriguez both avoided an injury that will keep them out for an extended period of time. Considering that we are only in June, it is wise for the Lions to be extremely cautious with any injuries so that the players are ready for training camp.
