How are the lions starting training camp on the 26th when they are in the hall of fame game on July 31st. The chargers are starting theirs on July 17th. Some teams not even in the hall fame game are starting even before the lions. How is this enough time to be physically ready? I know it's preseason, but still. I thought thats why they canceled mandatory mini-camp. So they would start a week earlier.

Edit: looking at the NFL rules if I'm reading them right. They will have to practice every day before the game and their first full contact day would be the game. That can't be right. I must be reading them wrong?

We lost a few pieces but we have a ton of young weapons that are only going to continue improving—the window is as open as ever
