Lions address D.J. Reed's groin injury ahead of training camp
Summary

The Detroit Lions are not worried about cornerback D.J. Reed's groin injury, which kept him from practice for two days. Head coach Dan Campbell stated that the injury is minor and expressed confidence in Reed's readiness to return when he's able. Reed, who missed significant time last season due to another injury, is a key player in a cornerback corps that has faced challenges after the release of Terrion Arnold. Campbell provided updates on other injuries, including Ben Bartch’s foot issue and Payton Turner’s back injury. The Lions also made roster moves, placing Teddy Bridgewater on the reserve/retired list and waiving tight end Nick Muse.
