He’s back and ready for training camp." Detroit Lions NewsDetroit Lions TransactionsDarius Slay activated from Non-Football Injury listNew Graham Glasgow Jersey ,13commentsHe’s back and ready for training camp. EDTThe Detroit Lions will have one of their key players back in the fold for the rest of training camp. The team announced on Friday afternoon that cornerback Darius Slay has been activated from the Non-Football Injury (NFI) list. Slay skipped out on Organized Team Activities and minicamp in the pursuit of a new contract. However, it appears he has put those desires on hold, as he reported to training camp last week. Slay was placed on the NFI list, presumably, because the Lions wanted to make sure they’re up to their conditioning standards.“Just another tag that we’re allowed to use when we come into camp so that guys, when they report into camp, if we feel need a little more time before they’re thrown into individual drills Jake Rudock Jersey ,” head coach Matt Patricia said last week.Damon Harrison Sr. was in the same position, but he remains on the NFI list as of Friday afternoon. It’s unclear if Slay will be thrown right into things with Friday night’s scrimmage at Ford Field. But if he does, it will be interesting to see how his presence affects the playing time of others. Will Teez Tabor continue to work with the first team defense, or will it be Rashaan Melvin? How will this affect Amani Oruwariye’s playing time? Time will tell, but for now, SLAY BACK! Unfortunately for the Detroit Lions, there are multiple reasons for their poor 3-5 start to the 2018 season. While the defense has probably been the worst offender Danny Amendola Jersey , both the offense and special teams share plenty of blame in Detroit’s five losses this year. Inside those units, just about every position has failed at some point this season, whether it be the quarterback, the secondary, the offensive and defensive lines, running backs, linebacker. You name it Trey Flowers Jersey , and at some point the players have cost the team dearly. However, some of these struggles could have been predicted. We knew the personnel on the defense wasn’t all that good, especially in that front seven. So today’s Question of the Day has to do with expectations not meeting reality. Which Detroit Lions unit has been most disappointing thus far? My answer: To me, there’s absolutely no question: it’s the secondary. In the offseason, Lions fans tended to overrate the secondary based on the play of their top defensive backs. Admittedly, Darius Slay, Quandre Diggs and Glover Quin entered the season at the top of their game.However Damon Harrison Jersey , the play of the Lions’ secondary has been nothing short of a disaster ever since the moment after Diggs took the first defensive play of the season for a pick-six. Detroit has proven that it has little talent at cornerback outside of Slay. Nevin Lawson and Teez Tabor have been getting routinely embarrassed on a week-to-week basis. But nothing has been more disappointing, and quite frankly depressing, than watching Glover Quin, one of the most beloved defensive playmakers on the team, take a clear and obvious step back. It appears Father Time is finally catching up to Quin, and his electric reaction time has already fallen victim to age. Right now, the Lions rank 30th in passer rating allowed (112.5) and 29th in yards per attempt allowed (8.5) and they have just three interception on the year (29th). Last season Ricky Jean Francois Jersey , this unit was fourth in interceptions, but it appears opposing quarterbacks have figured out that if you simply look away from Slay, you can complete passes all day.Your turn.
