Detroit Lions training camp has now progressed to the point where fan will be in the stands. The season ticket holders and VIPs are waiting to catch Saturday's practice, the first one open to anyone outside the immediate Lions den of media or family members.

Coach Dan Campbell has built one of the league's best teams, and as a result there's plenty of excitement generated for this year's Lions team. After the disappointing end to last season, the team has plenty of motivation for what it hopes is another run at a Super Bowl in 2025.

Lions head coach Dan Campbell on the growth and development he has seen from star wide receiver Jameson Williams.

Williams said he was excited for the first day of pads but didn't appear on the practice field, leading some to wonder if he'd picked up an injury.

Tate Ratledge, the Detroit Lions' second-round pick in April, played right guard in practice Thursday for the first time in training camp.

The Detroit Lions are ready to go this year. Maybe a little too ready in the early going, though. On Tuesday, the Lions were being a little too physical, and head coach Dan Campbell had to stop practice multiple times to reel everyone back in.
