NFL Lockout's Impact On The Detroit Lions

Detroit Lions: With all the injuries to Matthew Stafford, the Lions could really use the off season to get him reps with the offense. The Lions are slowly putting together a solid team, but they need to practice together. They have young stars in wide receiver Calvin Johnson and defensive lineman Ndamukong Suh, and they're no longer a push-over on the schedule. They need to add more play makers on defense and offense lineman to help protect Stafford. I expect the Lions to keep improving, but missing off season workouts together will hurt.
