We asked you to caption a photo of the Lions' new doughnut and you did not disappoint.

Josh Bynes and Geoff Schwartz back at practice for the Lions today. Not practicing based on what I have seen: Jon Bostic, Zaviar Gooden, Don Carey, Eric Ebron, Matthew Mulligan, Michael Ola.

Lions RB Ameer Abdullah continues to be wearing his red no-contact jersey. He has been in it all camp long. He has been working on blocking drills, though.

The NFL is testing out an eighth official on the field during Week 2 of the preseason. The league tested this out last year during the preseason, as well. Typically, only seven officials are on the field during games.

PrideOfDetroit PODcast #48:Crunching preseason games 1 & 2, Quarless backlash and more. 116 minutes.

This week on the PODcast:

Somehow we veer into police chase twitter, but we use this effectively to jump into talking about the boy from Winnemucca, Jace Billingsley.

More from game 1: our favorites, the offensive line disappoints, and some real talk about Orlovsky and Rudock because the people out there are getting crazy.

What do we need to see from the Lions moving forward to feel confident?

Some talk about Andrew Quarless, and what making a statement like "zero tolerance" means when it's broken.

Briefly previewing game 2 of the preseason. Who needs to step up and what the Lions need to improve upon, and how the Bengals will challenge them in different ways than the Steelers.

Mailbag! More quarterback talk somehow, voodoo charms to keep Lions healthy, SummerSlam predictions and the cocktail recipes you need to stay lubricated during the NFL season.
