The list of Lions players at OTA with limited or no practice
The list of Lions players at OTA with limited or no practice The Lions held an OTA session open to the media. Here's who is coming off injuries that practiced, those that sat out, and more.
Dan Campbell had his first OTA (organized team activities) press conference today and offered player availability information. For the players that are limited or not practicing, Campbell was quick to state:
Some of them are so minor. The rookies have been training for the combine.... We're just trying to be smart. We got little dings here. This is the time of year to make sure that we're being more conservative.
The following is Campbell's list of players that are at OTA but with limited or no practice. Included are my possible reasons for the player's limited availability.
Players that were expected to be limited or out
Alim McNeill - ACL
Malcolm Rodriguez - ACL
Tyleik Williams - hamstring
Mekhi Wingo - knee meniscus surgery
Derrick Barnes - MCL/PCL surgery
Khalil Dorsey - tibia/fibula fracture
David Montgomery - MCL
Players that were unexpected to be limited or out
Amon-Ra St. Brown - No concerns coming out of last season.
Brodric Martin - Right knee hyperextension last preseason and missed half the year.
Levi Onwuzurike - L5-S1 spinal fusion in 2022 could require ongoing load management.
Josh Paschal - Missed 1 game with right knee in week 14.
DJ Reader - Missed 1 game with left shoulder in week 14.
Jack Campbell - Played all games last season. During OTA, he stated he had a minor hip operation this offseason that shouldn't be a concern going forward.
Terrion Arnold - Minor right foot injury in week 18.
Brian Branch - Multiple minor right leg issues in second half of last season.
Miles Frazier - Healthy coming out of college with no concerns.
Kenny Yeboah - Possible core muscle injury in 2024.
Myles Adams - Clean medical history.
Isaac TeSlaa - Healthy coming out of college with no concerns.
Sione Vaki - Missed 1 game with a right knee in week 9 last season.
Notable players with "full" participation at OTA
Aidan Hutchinson - The lack of a "limited" designation sends the clear signal that he will be ready to start the season following his tibia/fibula fracture 7.5 months ago.
Marcus Davenport - Still wearing a left elbow wrap at OTA from his reported triceps rupture 8 months ago, but will be ready for the season.
Amik Robertson - His left humerus fracture is fully healed.
Ahmed Hassanein - Confirmation that his right ankle injury from college is not an issue.
Ennis Rakestraw - Hamstring that caused him to miss that last two months of the season is healed up.
Graham Glasgow - Knee issue from last season is hopefully a thing of the past.
Pat O'Connor - Calf injury in week 18 is fine now.

Dan Campbell: I'm not worried about anything, Lions are where we want in my fifth year
Dan Campbell is heading into his fifth year as the head coach of the Lions, and he has revitalized a franchise that was in bad shape before he arrived. But there are also questions about his team, which lost its offensive and defensive coordinators, had a rash of injuries on defense, and has a difficult schedule with a preseason that starts early. Campbell was asked about any concerns he might have and dismissed the idea that he would be worried about anything at all. 'I'm not worried that we don't have pass rush, I'm not worried that we lost two coordinators, I'm not worried about injuries, I'm not worried about the Hall of Fame Game, I'm not worried about the schedule,' Campbell said. 'I think it's perfect. I think it lines up perfect. I think it's gonna be what's best for us with where we're at going into 2025, my fifth year, the corps of the team's fifth year. I really think it's exactly what we're going to need. The timing is perfect.' For most of last season, the Lions looked like the best team in the NFL, but they fell short in the postseason thanks in large part to a brutal slate of injuries on defense. Again, Campbell isn't worried about that. 'There's not a damn thing we could do about injuries. Nobody can,' Campbell said. 'I'm not worried, and the things you would worry about are the things every team would worry about, injuries. If we have another 20 injuries, yeah, that's an issue, but there's nothing I can do about it.'

Juan Soto knows there's ‘still a long way to go' to fixing slow Mets start after snapping homer drought
Access the Mets beat like never before Join Post Sports+ for exciting subscriber-only features, including real-time texting with Mike Puma about the inside buzz on the Mets. Try it free Juan Soto snapped his 17-game homerless streak with a fourth-inning blast in the Mets' 8-2 win over the Rockies on Saturday. He hadn't gone deep since May 9 and his slow start to his Mets tenure has been in the spotlight of what's otherwise been a good start to the season in Queens. Advertisement 'I knew it was gone,'' said Soto, who's reached base in four of his last seven plate appearances. A day earlier, he acknowledged he'd been struggling. Asked Saturday if it was a relief to break his homerless stretch, Soto said, 'There's still a long way to go. It feels good, but we've got to keep working.' Juan Soto reacts after hitting a home run in the fourth inning of the Mets' 8-2 win over the Rockies on May 31, 2025. Corey Sipkin for the NY Post Advertisement Brandon Nimmo also homered immediately before Soto and said Soto's ninth homer was 'a sign of good things to come.' 'When he goes the other way, that's when he's at his best,'' said Nimmo, whose performance at the plate has improved since his return from a stiff neck. Nimmo left the game in the eighth inning with a cramp in his right calf. Advertisement Juan Soto celebrates after homering during the Mets' win over the Rockies. Corey Sipkin for the NY Post 'I'm not worried about it,'' Nimmo said. He's 8-for-19 in five games since returning after breaking out of an 0-for-17 funk. Advertisement After president of baseball operations David Stearns said Friday the team is 'paying attention' to Ronny Mauricio's play at Triple-A Syracuse after coming back from a torn ACL, Carlos Mendoza added to the praise Saturday. 'We're watching,'' the manager said. 'The reports are really good. It's not so much the results, it's just how he's moving, running on the bases, moving in the infield, his first step going after balls.' Still, it's the results that have garnered plenty of attention. Entering Saturday, in seven games since being promoted to Syracuse from Double-A Binghamton, Mauricio was 14-for-25 with four extra-base hits, including three homers. 'He's impacting the ball from both sides of the plate,'' Mendoza said. 'He's a good player. We'll continue to watch him, but right now, we want him to continue to get everyday reps.' But if his current production continues, Mendoza knows they won't be able to keep Mauricio in the minors. CHECK OUT THE LATEST NBA STANDINGS AND KNICKS STATS Advertisement 'I'm pretty sure we'll get to a point where he's gonna force us [to bring him up],'' Mendoza said of Mauricio's future, 'But in the meantime, let him play.' Mark Vientos was out of the lineup again versus a right-hander, with Brett Baty at third base and another left-handed hitter, Jared Young, at DH. Prior to the game, Mendoza said Vientos was 'going through it' and while he'll continue to get significant playing time, the young third baseman would also have to adjust to occasionally sitting. Advertisement Sean Manaea is scheduled to throw another live batting practice Monday, this one two innings, according to Mendoza. Advertisement The lefty threw his first live batting practice Thursday and reported no issues as he comes back from a strained oblique. A rehab outing is possible after Monday. Mendoza added that Frankie Montas (lat) is slated to pitch his third minor league rehab start Tuesday, the location of which is still to be determined, depending on the weather.
