Pat O'Connor, a 7th-round pick by Detroit Lions in 2017 out of Eastern Michigan, said he wants to finish his career with the team that drafted him.

The Detroit Lions have finished their second day of padded practices for their 2025 training camp. There's been plenty of physicality shown throughout the team's first six days of camp, with this physicality being taken up a notch when the pads officially came on Friday.

Fans filled the sets of grandstands around the Lions’ practice fields, cheering on the likes of rookie running back Kye Robichaux after he trucked through a defender during a drill and chanted for linebacker Alex Anzalone, who was practicing for the first time during camp.

Detroit Lions head coach Dan Campbell has had to pause practice multiple times in training camp because of things getting too heated between players. Here's what he said about the topic on Friday.

The Lions are counting on Aidan Hutchinson immediately returning to form following last year’s season-ending leg fracture. So far, so good, according to quarterback Jared Goff.

Derrick Barnes, who left practice Thursday with a finger injury, will not miss any practice time, Lions coach Dan Campbell said

Hendon Hooker is putting together a strong case to be No.2 quarterback behind Jared Goff for the Detroit Lions. It sounds like the third-year signal-caller out of Tennessee had a fantastic practice on Saturday. According to Jeremy Reisman of Pride of Detroit, Hooker made the best throw of the day to Tom Kennedy for a touchdown.

Cornerback Terrion Arnold left Detroit Lions practice on Thursday with a leg problem. But on Friday, the former Alabama defensive back returned to the field for the Lions’ first day in pads at training camp as he prepares for his second NFL season.
