Detroit Lions - Team Notes

Just popped in the new Detroit Lions team store at Ford Field.
No Calvin Johnson jerseys to be found.
Matthew Stafford, Ameer Abdullah, Golden Tate, Ziggy Ansah and DeAndre Levy jerseys on sale.
In the old store you would always find discount jerseys of guys who were gone -- including Nate Burleson and Ndamukong Suh last year.

New Lions end zone...it is blue now with Lions in white lettering.

For the second straight day, Josh Bynes was getting some reps as a first-team linebacker instead of Jon Bostic. Both Bynes and Bostic are getting No. 1 reps in walkthrough with DeAndre Levy still out. Bostic was at MLB with Kyle Van Noy in some first-team nickel reps.

Lions GM Bob Quinn addressed the crowd at Ford Field for family day, saying is looking forward to opening day against Tennessee next month.

So far it appears OT Cornelius Lucas and DL Deonte Gibson won't be participating in the mock game for the Lions.
WR Andre Caldwell also without a helmet, so it looks like he is also out for today's mock game for the Lions. He's in a competition for the No. 5 WR spot with Jay Lee and Quinshad Davis.

So far the Lions have seen Matthew Stafford throw a pick to Darrin Walls (on third team defense) a penalty on defense and Ford Field is pretty quiet.

The guy who has stood out the most today for the Lions so far -- WR Jay Lee. The undrafted guy from Baylor has a bunch of catches, including a touchdown, against the No. 1 defense. Lee is a contender for the No. 5 WR gig.

A couple of possible injuries to watch in the second half of this mock Lions game. WR TJ Jones was looked at by trainers after diving for an incomplete pass. And Eric Ebron has his right leg being looked at. Cart coming out.

A potential Eric Ebron injury is bad news for the Lions. He had been pegged as a breakout candidate after a strong camp. He was being taken back to the locker room on the cart. Detroit already has Brandon Pettigrew on PUP.

Lions HC Jim Caldwell declined to comment on Eric Ebron's injury. Lions GM Bob Quinn, walking off the field, said "injuries happen in football" when asked about Ebron. There is no update on what Ebron injured during the mock game.

Ex-Lion Tulloch close to signing with Eagles.
PFT

ESPN's Adam Schefter reports the Eagles are in heavy negotiations with free agent LB Stephen Tulloch.
Tulloch isn't more than a two-down linebacker at this stage, but has a history with DC Jim Schwartz. He would give the Eagles a veteran to complement second-year ILB Jordan Hicks. Tulloch underwent offseason ankle surgery that delayed his release from Detroit, but should be close to fully healthy.

Eric Ebron has indicated to "at least two teammates" that he'll be "okay" following Saturday's Achilles' scare.

Ebron also posted a positive tweet and an Instagram video of him laughing with a friend while driving a car, all of which took place after he was carted off the practice field. Early indications are certainly positive that Ebron avoided a severe injury. We'll update when more information is available.
