Lions OTA Week 1: LaPorta, Arnold, Branch, Joseph sidelined as drills go on

Detroit Lions Week 1 OTAs ended with most players participating, but a core group was held out or limited: Sam LaPorta (back rehab) and Zach Horton did not practice; Ben Bartch was out; Terrion Arnold, Brian Branch, and Kerby Joseph did not participate (Joseph wearing street clothes for drills).

Horton’s status remains unclear. Bartch’s absence opened left guard reps for Christian Mahogany, Juice Scruggs, and Miles Frazier. LaPorta has done some walkthrough/jog-through work, but is not yet practicing full speed. Campbell emphasized health and rehab taking precedence over on-field reps.
