Big night for Lions WR Marvin Jones against former team: The reports of new Detroit Lions?and former Cincinnati Bengals wide receiver?Marvin Jones this offseason have been glowing. When the PFF training camp tour was in town he had a nice day, showing off his skills with a couple of sideline grabs. He caught the only pass thrown his way in the preseason opener against the Pittsburgh Steelers last week, and had four receptions for 65 yards last night, the highlight of which was a 32-yard sideline grab early in the first quarter.

Jones was our 38th-highest graded receiver in the NFL last year, with an overall grade of 79.0, but we have seen even better from him, with a grade of 85.2 back in 2013, before he missed all of 2014 due to injury. Outstanding with the ball in his hands, Jones forced 12 missed tackles on 69 receptions last year, and has forced 27 missed tackles on his last 128 receptions. He joins Golden Tate in Detroit, who led all wide receivers with 30 missed tackles on 90 receptions last year, so defensive backs should be on high alert to try to avoid missed tackles when they play the Lions this year.

Ameer Abdullah had a blue No. 21 jersey on for the first time this preseason. He had been in a red no-contact jersey on since camp started. He has yet to play in a preseason game.

Lions coach Jim Caldwell said if Usain Bolt were trying out for football, he would start him off at receiver first.

Golden Tate missed practice for the Lions on Saturday. He wouldn't say if he is injured and Jim Caldwell wouldn't say if it was a rest day or if he was dealing with an injury.
