Overview

  • Detroit dominated both sides in Wednesday’s session at Allen Park, with beat writers calling it the most lopsided joint practice they’ve ever seen.
  • A late altercation between Lions receiver Jameson Williams and Dolphins defensive back Ifeatu Melifonwu prompted benches to clear before coaches intervened.
  • Dolphins rookie edge rusher Chop Robinson was carted off but reassured fans on social media that he was fine and no serious damage was expected.
  • Lions coach Dan Campbell confirmed that rookie edge Ahmed Hassanein and running back Sione Vaki will practice Thursday while cornerback Terrion Arnold remains sidelined with a hamstring issue.
  • Dolphins coach Mike McDaniel dismissed Grant Stuard’s pre-practice taunt about Miami’s readiness as noise and said his focus is on getting effective work between the whistles.
