| DETROIT LIONS (3-13) OPEN CAMP: July 25, Allen Park, Mich. LAST YEAR: In Matt Millen's sixth season in charge, only Oakland won fewer games as Detroit fell to NFL-worst 24-72 since 2001 — one of worst stints in league history. Rod Marinelli seemed to instill much-needed toughness in first year as a head coach, but it didn't add up to wins. IMPORTANT ADDITIONS: WR Calvin Johnson, DE Dewayne White, CB Travis Fisher, G Edwin Mulitalo, OT George Foster, RBs Tatum Bell and T.J. Duckett. IMPORTANT LOSSES: CB Dre' Bly, DE James Hall, FS Terrence Holt and FB Cory Schlesinger. CAMP NEEDS: Offensive line, with two new starters, has to become cohesive and effective unit for Mike Martz's impressive scheme to work. White and/or underachieving DE Kalimba Edwards must emerge as pass-rushing threat. EXPECTATIONS: Double-digit wins have been predicted by Lions, who might have trouble avoiding seventh-straight season with at least 10 losses. If offensive line and defense is better than expected, Detroit might have decent record headed into final month with games at San Diego, Green Bay and Minnesota, home dates with Dallas and Kansas City.
