On the last true day of training camp, with the regular season lurking, Dan Campbell made sure to get his starters some much-needed work they wouldn’t otherwise receive in the preseason. It was scrimmage day.
“Today’s kind of the last big practice before we start to get ready for Pittsburgh this weekend,” Campbell said Wednesday. “We’ll have a lot of ones versus ones work, offense versus defense, and then we’ll have the twos kind of working in between. …We’re going to kind of scrimmage out the first offense, first defense, and then have special teams in the middle, so it’ll be good.”
Wildgoose has played primarily as a slot cornerback during his career. With the Commanders in 2022, he logged 16 tackles and three passes defensed. He earned a 50.7 Pro Football Focus overall defensive grade for his efforts.
He also has special teams experience, having played a total of 119 snaps in that aspect of the game over his 20 career appearances. Most recently, Wildgoose played for the Birmingham Stallions of the UFL in the spring.
Rakestraw returned to practice Tuesday, while Davis and Robertson were limited. Arnold remains out but may return as soon as some point next week. The Lions have their preseason finale against the Pittsburgh Steelers Saturday and then will shift their preparations to the regular season opener against the Los Angeles Rams.
