Special teams
By my count, the Lions did two punting sessions, each with nine punts split evenly between their punters and long snappers.
The Jack Fox-Don Muhlbach combo continues to get the first set of reps and overall Fox has been a bot more consistent. He has a nice leg, angles kicks on the regular, but does have the occasional oops kick.
Arryn Siposs looks like he is still acclimating to the NFL, but when he connects solidly on a punt it’s a thing of beauty. He may not be getting the regular distance Fox gets, but his flush hits are bombs.
With 16 spots on the practice squad, it’s not out of the question that the Lions end up stashing one of these guys there in case the other struggles early.
Quick notes on the returners (in order): Jamal Agnew, Danny Amendola, Marvin Hall, Victor Bolden, and Jason Huntley.
At gunner, Tony McRae, Dee Virgin, and Jayron Kearse tend to lead the way every practice and each got multiple shots in the order, but a lot of other players got looks today, including Amani Oruwariye, Darryl Roberts, Mike Ford, Bolden, Hall, Quintez Cephus, and Bobby Price.
Last year Virgin made the team strickly because of his special teams’ ability and while I’m not ruling him out, I’m having a hard time finding a spot for him on the roster.
