What happened: Coach Campbell said he likes where D.J. Reed is at as the Detroit Lions continued offseason work. The comment came around the team's OTA period, with Detroit evaluating roster health and roles before training camp.
Why it matters: For the Lions, Reed's status matters because offseason reps help set the secondary rotation before the upcoming 2026 season. Campbell's public tone suggests Detroit is comfortable with Reed's current trajectory, though OTAs remain a limited-contact evaluation window.
By the numbers: Detroit's OTA schedule includes work from June 2-4 and June 9-11, followed by mandatory minicamp June 16-17. Reed is tied to Detroit on a reported three-year, $48 million contract signed in 2025.
What to watch: Watch whether Reed remains active through the final OTA block and mandatory minicamp. Training camp will provide the fuller test once contact and depth-chart competition increase.
