Kerryon Johnson went from zero eight snaps. T.J. Hockenson went from six to 15, and even C.J. Anderson went from three to eight.With the top three receivers still out, Andy Jones got the biggest piece of the pie on Saturday. However Matt Prater Jersey White , it’s more noteworthy that guys like Chris Lacy, Tommylee Lewis and even Tom Kennedy got in there earlier. The starting offensive line got a total of 14 plays in there together, but the “starting” guards—Joe Dahl and Graham Glasgow—got an extra series or two. If you’re holding out hope that UDFA Ryan Pope makes the team, he has now played just a single snap in two preseason games: a kneel down to end Week 1. Beau Benzschawel Trey Flowers Jersey White , on the other hand, got a good chunk of playing time—mostly in the second half.

As far as I saw, there were no reports on him suffering an injury this week.The Lions got a good, long look at their healthy starters. It was a bit surprising to see the likes of Darius Slay http://www.lionslockerroom.com/authentic-levine-toilolo-jersey , Quandre Diggs, A’Shawn Robinson and a few others all the way through the first half. Detroit also didn’t shy away from their rookie class. Will Harris saw more playing time than anyone on defense, while Amani Oruwariye, P.J. Johnson Womens Ricky Wagner Jersey , and Jahlani Tavai played well over a quarter of the game. Linebackers Malik Carney and Garret Dooley both got a pretty good chunk of playing time after missing the preseason opener.With no Mike Daniels, Darius Kilgo, Damon Harrison or John Atkins, Fred Jones played a ton on Saturday Womens Dwayne Washington Jersey , including time during the first and fourth quarters.Newby cornerbacks Jonathan Alston and Jamar Summers both got a great opportunity to highlight their skills against the Texans. Agent Drew Rosenhaus was in Atlanta on Wednesday and his visit ended with a contract extension for linebacker Deion Jones.Rosenhaus is now set to move on to Detroit for discussions about two other clients. Cornerback Darius Slay and defensive tackle Damon Harrison both skipped voluntary and mandatory work during the offseason program as they look for new deals with the team.Dave Birkett of the reports that Rosenhaus will meet with the Lions this week about both players. Slay said in June that “time will tell” if he will report to training camp without a new deal while Harrison has not sent any signals about his plans. Lions veterans are due to report to camp on July 24.Both players have two years left on their current contracts and that’s earlier than teams generally like to entertain thoughts of redoing deals. Slay and Harrison may be banking on their importance to the team’s defense leading to a different outcome and this week’s meeting should shed more light on how things will play out.
