The Detroit Lions held their Organized Team Activities (OTAs) and minicamp this month, where several players' performances were critiqued. Among those whose stock is considered to be declining are wide receiver Dominic Lovett, who struggles with drops, and running back Sione Vaki, whose injury history raises concerns about his competitiveness. The Lions coaching staff is considering positional changes, particularly for edge rusher Ahmed Hassanein, who is moving to a different role on the defensive line. Media attention has also overshadowed linebacker Damone Clark, putting him at risk of being overlooked for roster spots. Though spring practices carry low stakes, performance here significantly influences training camp battles.
