The first few days of Detroit Lions training camp progressed without any significant injuries. But there were a couple of scares in the second padded practice on Tuesday morning.
Two players who were off to very strong starts to camp left the sunny morning session with assistance from the Lions training staff.
First up was wide receiver Quintez Cephus. He left after an apparent knee injury while battling against CB Jeff Okudah in a 1-on-1 drill early in practice. He did not return to participation as of press time.
Cephus down with what looks like a knee injury. Being helped to the locker room. Damn it.

Not long after Cephus left, the trainers were once again busy tending to starting defensive Alim McNeill,
Now Alim McNeill has left practice, favoring right leg. Tough start to the second day of padded practice

There was good news shortly thereafter, as McNeill returned to action.
McNeill back in on a special teams drill. Exhale. https://t.co/GnWSTxmv8E
