This weekend was supposed to be the Detroit debut of Lions first-round pick Penei Sewell. Unfortunately, the team’s first-round pick will not be making his first appearance in a Lions uniform after all.
Sewell announced on his social media that he has tested positive for COVID-19 and will not be making the trip to Detroit for this week’s rookie minicamp. He is not cleared to travel or to have contact with his new Lions teammates or staffers.
All the other rookies are expected to be at the team’s training facility in Allen Park for the weekend minicamp. Sewell will get another chance to kick off his Lions OTAs in another two weeks for the first session of team OTAs.
