8 Jul
Summary
- Free tickets for Lions' open practices go on sale July 21.
- Key position battles include cornerback, right tackle, and pass rusher.
- Rookies and veterans will compete for starting roles in camp.
Detroit Lions training camp is set to begin, with tickets for five open practices, scheduled from July 28 to August 19, becoming available on July 21 at 10 a.m. ET. These free tickets are expected to be in high demand.
Several position battles will be closely watched as veterans, rookies, and returning players compete for significant roles on the team's roster. A key contest is at cornerback, where the departure of a former first-round pick leaves the CB2 position open. Rock Ya-Sin is an early favorite, but third-year player Ennis Rakestraw and rookie Keith Abney will also contend for the role.
Another significant battle is at right tackle, with veteran Larry Borom and first-round rookie Blake Miller competing to replace a former All-Pro. The Lions are also seeking a consistent pass-rushing partner for Aidan Hutchinson, with veteran DJ Wonnum facing competition from second-round pick Derrick Moore.
These unsettled starting jobs are poised to significantly influence the Lions' roster composition as they head into the 2026 season, promising an exciting training camp for fans.
