Overview

  • Grant Stuard told Sports Illustrated he isn’t sure the Dolphins are ready for Detroit’s intense practice style, providing classic bulletin-board motivation.
  • Joint sessions against Miami are set for Wednesday and Thursday at the Meijer Performance Center in Allen Park ahead of Saturday’s preseason game.
  • The 26-year-old linebacker signed with the Lions this offseason after stints with the Buccaneers and Colts.
  • With starters Jack Campbell and Alex Anzalone locked in and Derrick Barnes back from injury, Stuard is expected to contribute mainly on special teams.
  • Stuard said he chose Detroit over more welcoming offers because he wanted to be held to the highest standard in a tougher environment.
