Detroit Lions rookie LB Jimmy Rolder likely out for training camp
Summary

Detroit Lions head coach Dan Campbell stated that rookie linebacker Jimmy Rolder is unlikely to return during training camp due to a leg injury. Rolder, who was selected in the fourth round of the 2026 NFL Draft, has been sidelined throughout camp but indicated progress in his recovery. Campbell noted that even if Rolder is improving, it may still be challenging for him to join the team next week. His contributions would have bolstered a linebackers group that already includes award-winning players.
