MLive's Justin Rogers noted that the Detroit Lions' "efficiency" stood out during the team's first training camp practice of 2014.

ESPN's Michael Rothstein reports that Kris Durham and Kevin Ogletree both "had nice catches" on Monday.

Ziggy Ansah missed Monday's practice since he is still on the PUP list. Although he worked with a trainer away from the action, Ansah told Rothstein that he has no idea when he will actually practice. That doesn't exactly sound encouraging.

Darius Slay seemingly had a solid first day of practice.
