The Detroit Lions opted to rest almost all of their starters for Saturday’s game against the Jacksonville Jaguars. In fact, even some Lions rookies had the afternoon off, including first-round pick Jahmyr Gibbs and second-round picks Sam LaPorta and Brian Branch. Detroit opted to protect their highly-drafted players.
There was one exception, though. First-round linebacker Jack Campbell not only played against the Jaguars, but he was still in the game into the third quarter.
Per PFF, Campbell logged a total of 32 defensive snaps in the second preseason game—more than any other Lions linebacker on Saturday.
