- After taking a day off, the Detroit Lions resumed training camp on Monday with a morning practice in Allen Park.
- Rookie fullback Michael Burton made some positive impressions on Monday:
Burton is the real deal when it comes to blocking. Stonewalling every LB they throw at him.
— Alex Reno (@alex_reno) August 10, 2015Burton stops both Levy and Tulloch in blitz pickup drill. That's very impressive. Levy got the rook on a second snap.
— Justin Rogers (@Justin_Rogers) August 10, 2015Burton with a beautiful diving grab. Stop hating the pick.

- This could be something to keep an eye on when the Lions open the preseason later this week:
Orlovsky and TJ Jones have built some chemistry. Almost every pass going his way.

- The Lions continued mixing things up on the offensive line by going with a look that featured rookie Laken Tomlinson at left guard and Manny Ramirez at center.
- Former Lions defensive tackle Doug English was in the house on Monday, and he spoke with the D-line.
