Detroit Lions players are reporting for OTAs despite saying they would boycott workouts
....
This new thread relates to the following thread:
Lions players won’t attend Voluntary Off-Season workouts
detroit-lions-forum.proboards.com/thread/1015/players-attend-voluntary-season-workouts
I have doubts that the death total in Michigan from COVID-19, either from the previous week of the players statement, or from last week, are accurate. If the latest available death total number is noticeably higher than the # from early April, why would players reverse their decision? This is even factoring in enormous lower total cases than in early April.
The COVID numbers were bad at the time of that statement, with Michigan reporting 45,000 cases and 282 deaths the previous week. But those numbers have plummeted since, due in part to an effective vaccine rollout in Detroit and throughout the state. Michigan reported 8,578 cases and 332 deaths last week.

Notes and observations from 1st open Lions OTAs
...........
Thankfully, Penei Sewell was cleared to participate in the OATs this week.
For me, the report regarding D'Andre Swift is the next most positive Lions news in the article.
Encouraging news regarding the play Amon-Ra St. Brown made that was mentioned in the article.
The two drops by Breshad Perriman are concerning. If Perriman isn't much more consistent catching the ball in games that count in terms of W-L, he likely won't be offered a contract in 2022.

Lions OTA notebook: On Tim Boyle, LBs in coverage and more
........
If Jared Goff remains relatively healthy, I'm anticipating that he will take every non-garbage time QB snap for the Lions in the upcoming regular season.
Shaun Dion Hamilton has a realistic shot at a spot on the Lions opening day 53 man roster. The Lions limited viable depth at off the ball LB ( at least at present ) helps Hamilton's cause.
Jermer Jefferson is anything but a complete RB at this point in time.
The news regarding Jeff Okudah is very encouraging, especially with him coming off groin surgery.
On the other hand, this practice report news regarding Amani Orumariye and Tracy Walker is disappointing.
