Yesterday the Lions announced when they will hold their Rookie Mini Camp.
The only date left is training camp. Which typically isnt announced until after mandatory mini camp.
I expect the Lions to be very early in that window this year because they are playing in the HOF game this year. Typically NFL teams that play in that game report the Tuesday the week before the game.
Can we get this pinned?
God we’re so close I can smell James Houston’s accident
Training camp starts a month and a half before the first game?? Yikes…
That must be awful.
Only 10 days before the Hall of fame game!
Most teams start about 13-15 days before the first preseason game.
Draft is the start of a little more information on player performances.
Rookie camp next weekend
team OTA’s…remember voluntary 2-3weeks later
Training camp

I just want to know if we’ll be playing in the season opener Thursday night against Philly. I’m trying to make plans here. When do they announce the schedule? Gotta be soon.
Its in the list^^^ may 14th
And the leaks should start trickling in that monday. 5/12/25.
I’m interested to see what we come up with for the Lions schedule release.
We went from an A+ in '23 to an F last year.
Maybe Z signs after June 12
They will likely add another OTA . Or something in there. Cant imagine they are gonna leave practices on the table.
I’ve come to the realization that playing in the hall of fame game is really freaking stupid. Why should training camp ever need to start a month and a half before your first game?
Like, by week four, there’s no way you’re still getting good work in. The best of the best would be experiencing burnout by that point.
It’s gonna be a looooong season if we go as far as we’re planning to go. They better give us a back half of the season bye
Might be good for some of the roster battles… Like the rookies and fringe roster guys who need more reps.
But the veterans that are locks to make the team are gonna absolutely hate it. Guys like Reader, GG, and Decker for example… 6 weeks of training camp? Hopefully Coach gives them several days off in camp. If ZaDarius sees that… No way he’s signing until mid training camp.

It’s up to the staff to guide them through whatever obstacles are in their way. The early start to training camp and the extra preseason game are just 2 of them. Cutting mandatory minicamp was one step in their guidance.
