The Lions will look to get off to a better start than they did a season ago when they were annihilated at Ford Field by the New York Jets.

On Tuesday, the Lions held their first practice of the week and a trio of players which included LB Jarrad Davis, CB Rashaan Melvin, and DL Da’Shawn Hand were unable to participate.

Davis and Hand are no surprise but it’s interesting to see Melvin, who is currently the Lions No. 2 CB, missing practice.

In some promising news, C Frank Ragnow, who suffered an injury in the third preseason game, took part in the open part of the Lions practice on Tuesday.
