Lions change tackling drill approach in training camp under Dan Campbell

The Detroit Lions, under coach Dan Campbell, altered their approach to the one-on-one tackling drill during training camp for the first time. Players participated in a two-hand touch format instead of full live tackling, focusing on improving technique and allowing more players to take part. This decision aims to help players regain their skills before full-contact sessions begin. Campbell noted that this adjustment also accommodates players who might otherwise sit out due to injury risks. The Lions, already facing some injuries in camp, are seeking to balance physical preparation with player safety as they work toward the regular season.
