Lions face critical right tackle battle in training camp
Summary

As training camp progresses, the Detroit Lions have a key position battle at right tackle. Rookie Blake Miller, selected No. 17 overall, competes against veteran Larry Borom, who has 38 starts in 63 career games. Head coach Dan Campbell highlighted the competition's significance, especially after moving All-Pro Penei Sewell to left tackle. Second-year player Miles Frazier is also making an impression by practicing at multiple offensive line positions. With the Lions' offensive line needing to regain consistency after a middling performance last season, this battle could dictate their success this year.
