The Detroit Lions are dealing with a slew of injuries to their rookie class.
Lions coach Dan Campbell said rookie defensive end Derrick Moore will miss seven to 10 days with a minor groin strain he suffered in practice Sunday, Aug. 2, while fourth-round pick Jimmy Rolder "will be out for a while" with a hamstring injury he suffered in practice July 31.
"It's unfortunate for all the rookies," Campbell said. "These reps are valuable, man. You miss valuable, valuable time, but it also is what it is. So the good news is that like I say with Derrick, it won't be too long. For Rolder it's a little unfortunate, but at the same time it's not a season-ender, so that's good news."
The Lions did not hold a rookie minicamp this year for the first time under Campbell and Brad Holmes, and four of their seven draft picks have suffered some sort of injury in recent months.
First-round pick Blake Miller was held out of team drills Sunday with an undisclosed injury − he wore a compression sleeve on his left leg − and fifth-round pick Kendrick Law tore his ACL in the spring. Law is out for the season, while Campbell said Miller will practice without restrictions in the first day of pads Monday, Aug. 3.
