- Strangely, Haloti Ngata wasn't on the field much on Monday. Jim Caldwell wasn't asked about the situation, but it's probably safe to assume the Detroit Lions were just trying to limit his snaps at his age.
- However, Ngata was seen playing a different role on Monday: mentor to A'Shawn Robinson:
So this was evident today. Ngata has taken A'Shawn under his wing..... pic.twitter.com/4BAMM5r0Xz

The encounter was brief and everyone seemed to brush it off. Those sort of things always happen, so it'll likely be water under the bridge by next practice.Laken Tomlinson and Stefan Charles just got into it before being separated. Laken threw a punch.

For second straight day DL has dominated OL in one on one protection drills with the C position losing 8 of 9 rushes. #LionsCamp
— Jennifer Hammond (@HammerFox2) August 1, 2016 - As for an injury update, not much changed from Sunday's practice. Theo Riddick sat out for a second straight practice and was seen limping on the sidelines. However, Riddick doesn't seem worried:
Lions RB Theo Riddick appeared to have a limp when he came out to practice today. Asked about it, he said "Nah, I'm good." He DNP today

- If you had wristbands for the Lions' rained-out practice last Friday, good news:
For Lions fans with wristbands from 1st practice of camp that was cancelled...they can be redeemed for priority seating at Saturday practice
— Dave Birkett (@davebirkett) August 1, 2016Saturday's practice is Family Day at Ford Field. Fans with Ford wristbands can sit in section 127 near the 50-yard line
