Detroit Lions - Team Notes

WHAT TO DO WITH RILEY REIFF?
The former first-round pick has been decent but not great as Matthew Stafford's blind side protector. How will Detroit handle his expiring contract next spring? Upcoming decisions (espn insider).
 
The Lions waived TE Tim Wright with an injury designation on Thursday. Detroit is hurting at tight end. Brandon Pettigrew is recovering from an ACL injury. Eric Ebron didn't practice Thursday and even rookie TE Adam Fuehne didn't practice. The Lions traded for Wright during last year's training camp and re-signed him in the offseason.

PrideOfDetroit PODcast #36: Will Jim Caldwell be the Lions coach in 2017? 70 plus minutes.

This week on the PODcast:

Understanding the Pro Football Focus/Lions believers social media beef that's been going on the past few weeks while Jeremy was cavorting in Hawaii. We also talk about that too.

The main course: many presume Lions head coach Jim Caldwell to be a lame duck coach, destined to be replaced by a chosen right hand man of new general manager Bob Quinn. Would that be a good course of action? What is gained and what is lost by replacing head coaches so quickly these days in the NFL? Who would Quinn be likely to tap to replace Caldwell if this happens?

The NFL continues to act shady and weird about the money it's supposedly granting to research CTE, and this week congressional investigations turned up more problems with the league.

Mailbag! Jeremy adds his own opinion to last week's breakfast discussion, we plumb the depths of his hatred for Pokemon, plus Memorial Day questions and how we feel about yet another debate about analytics in sports talk television and the role of advanced numbers in talking about sports.
 
Eric Ebron - TE - Lions
Eric Ebron is sitting out OTAs with an undisclosed injury.
Coach Jim Caldwell did not reveal the details of the injury, but it does not sound like a long-term concern. "He’s healing," Caldwell said. "He’s coming along, so we’ve got a few guys with some bumps and bruises and some issues, but he should be back." Ebron should be 100 percent well before training camp.

Ameer Abdullah - RB - Lions
Lions coach Jim Caldwell said Ameer Abdullah is "recovery nicely" from January shoulder surgery.
Despite the positivity, Caldwell declined to give a timetable for Abdullah's return and said, "We'll see," when asked about his availability for training camp. Abdullah's Week 1 status is not in any doubt, but he is losing valuable practice reps as he attempts to cement himself as the No. 1 option in the backfield.

T.J. Jones - WR - Lions
MLive's Kyle Meinke said Lions WR T.J. Jones was "one of the obvious stars" of Thursday's OTA practice.
With Golden Tate sidelined, Jones reportedly "made several terrific catches" while working with the first-team offense. Jones is competing with free-agent signee Jeremy Kerley for the No. 3 receiver job. With Kerley relegated to slot duties, a position normally occupied by Tate in three-wide looks, Jones could have the upper hand.

Stephen Tulloch - LB - Lions
MLB Stephen Tulloch is still on the Lions' roster.
Detroit told Tulloch in February he was not part of their plans, but he is still on the roster at the end of May. Tulloch is not participating in the offseason program, and the expectation is he will be released at some point. The problem is no one seems to know when that will happen. This has been one of the odder sagas of the offseason.
