As if that wasn’t enough, HBO’s latest episode of “Hard Knocks” dropped earlier in the week. This time, it was more about the players, focusing on running back D’Andre Swift and rookie linebacker Malcolm Rodriguez. There were some solid Duce Staley, Aaron Glenn and Campbell moments too, of course.

Former Michigan stars Aidan Hutchinson, Kwity Paye savor reunion at Lions-Colts practices
It was the first time the pair talked in a bit, thanks to Aidan Hutchinson accidentally blocking Kwity Paye’s number. Hutchinson said, “I thought he was ghosting me, but we figured out the source,” Paye responded with, “I was texting him back. I was texting him back paragraphs.”
Why Levi Onwuzurike was left home, while Jameson Williams made trip for Detroit Lions
“I know why you’re asking it,” Campbell told MLive before the second joint practice. “Look, every day that he’s (Onwuzurike) not in there, it certainly is not helping. It doesn’t help him and it doesn’t help us as a team. However, it is what it is and it’s not his fault. And so all we can ask him to do is just continue to treat it, and our guys are working with him and he is getting better. Certainly not at the pace he wants it to be, but he is getting better and he’s working through it. So that’s all we can ask, ‘Hey man, get healthy and then we’ll go from there.’”

“Shoot, I’m just getting ready for the season. Just letting people know, you know? There may be a thud, but I’m getting in the end zone,” Williams said. “I’m getting in the end zone. That’s it. They ain’t going to stop me. I’m sorry. I’m still turnt just a little bit.”
