Detroit Lions - Team Notes

Three Lions in red no-contact jerseys: S Tavon Wilson, RB Theo Riddick, S Don Carey.
RB Mike James, WR Ryan Spadola, TE Eric Ebron and DE Cornelius Washington not practicing.

Lions legend Barry Sanders is at Lions practice Wednesday. He's part of the team as an ambassador to fans this year.

Best play: There were a few but one that stood out came just before rain and thunderstorms forced Lions practice inside. Matthew Stafford threw a pass in the end zone intended for Golden Tate. Tate got hands on it but it tipped up in the air. Cornerback Quandre Diggs was with Tate and jumped in the air to snag the interception -- a rare pick by Stafford during camp so far.

Rookie report from the Lions: Jamal Agnew is going to be in the returner battle for the duration and there's a good shot he wins it. Agnew, a fifth-round pick from San Diego, could end up factoring into the nickel corner competition as well. But he's got a good shot to make a big difference as a returner.

Overheard in Lions camp: Golden Tate turned 29 years old on Wednesday and celebrated by...practicing. Fans knew his birthday, too, as they came prepared with signs and yelled to him during individual drills.
Tate briefly acknowledged them before going back to work as they screamed.

Here's more on the Packers helmet that ended up at Lions practice. Tommy Bruce, age 65, came with the helmet as a favor for friends who are Packers fans in the Upper Peninsula of Michigan. Those friends have a 5-year-old grandson whose favorite player is....T.J. Lang. So they asked if he could go to get Lang, a former Packers player, to sign the helmet. No word on if it happened because practice was forced indoors. Said Bruce, a lifelong Lions fan, about showing up to an open Detroit practice with a Green Bay helmet: "I've been getting flak from a lot of these people." Makes sense.
