Rookie linebacker Jimmy Rolder was one of two Detroit Lions that exited Friday's training camp practice early to be evaluated for potential injuries. Rolder was being evaluated for a leg injury, while starting defensive tackle Alim McNeill was being evaluated for a potential neck injury.
On Saturday, NFL insider Jordan Schultz reported that Rolder will indeed "miss some time," but Rolder "didn't suffer a severe injury."
That's some bit of good news to hear that Rolder is not expected to miss major time.
Rolder is a rookie that the Lions selected in the fourth round of the 2026 NFL Draft. Rolder totaled 118 tackles, nine tackles for loss, two sacks, and one interception throughout his collegiate career with the Michigan Wolverines. The 6-foot-2, 238-pound linebacker led Michigan with 73 tackles last season.
Rolder added seven tackles for loss, two pass breakups, two sacks, and one interception last season at Michigan.
