Stints on the physically unable-to-perform (PUP) and non-football injury (NFI) lists are often quite brief to start training camp. That proved true for four Detroit Lions who began camp on the lists.
The Lions activated the foursome on Wednesday, the first day of practice at the team’s training facility in Allen Park.
The biggest name is cornerback Carlton Davis, who is expected to start at one of the outside CB spots. Davis was one of three newcomers to the Lions who were initially placed on the active/NFI list in time for Thursday’s practice:
CB Carlton Davis
WR Donovan Peoples-Jones
CB Amik Robertson
WR Tre’Quan Smith
That leaves DT DJ Reader as the only Detroit player on the NFI list.
