Dan Campbell updates injury status of Lions LB Jimmy Rolder

Summary

Detroit Lions head coach Dan Campbell provided a health update on linebacker Jimmy Rolder ahead of their matchup against the Washington Commanders at Ford Field on Saturday. Rolder has not practiced since suffering a hamstring injury in late July, and Campbell expressed doubts about Rolder's return before the regular season begins next month. Although Rolder has been present at practice working with trainers, full participation seems unlikely. He remains focused on staying engaged with the playbook while recovering.
