\u201cI\u2019d like to play Frazier a little bit again, but I like Colon,\u201d Campbell said. \u201cThere\u2019s things that can be cleaned up, but Colon did some good things, too.\u201d<\/p>\n
Last week against the Cowboys, the Lions went drive-by-drive with Colon and Frazier. Colon got the start and the second drive, then Frazier came in for the next two drives. That rotation continued throughout the game, with Colon playing 36 snaps to Frazier\u2019s 26. After the game, Campbell indicated that Frazier played well enough to warrant more snaps than they initially expected to give him.<\/p>\n
\u201cHe earned the right to keep going. He did good enough to where, \u2018Alright, let\u2019s get him another series,\u2019\u201d Campbell said Thursday night. \u201cBecause really, we didn\u2019t have intentions of giving him as much as we did. We just wanted to kind of introduce him.\u201d<\/p>\n
But on Tuesday, he continued to preach patience with Frazier, noting that he\u2019s still just a few weeks into practice after missing all of training camp and preseason with a knee injury that sidelined him until November. This experience, though, will help carry him the rest of the season and beyond.<\/p>\n
\u201dThose reps will invaluable for him and he\u2019s going to have to learn from them. and we believe he will,\u201d Campbell said. \u201cWe believe he\u2019ll memory bank those and get a little bit better. I would like to get him in this game, get him a couple more reps, let him grow, but I see us using Colon, too.\u201d<\/p>\n
Campbell also provided an update on Kayode Awosika, who had been the primary backup for Christian Mahogany at left guard, but missed last game due to a midweek foot injury. It appears Awosika will try to practice this week, but it\u2019s unclear if he\u2019ll jump the Frazier\/Colon rotations.<\/p>\n
\u201cI don\u2019t know. We\u2019ll see where he\u2019s at. He\u2019s going to try and go out and practice a little bit, but until I see him out on the grass, I don\u2019t know what that\u2019s going to be,\u201d Campbell said.<\/p>\n
\u201cI don\u2019t expect a lot right now this week, but I do think he\u2019s starting to feel good enough to work him into practice,\u201d Campbell said.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"\u201cI\u2019d like to play Frazier a little bit again, but I like Colon,\u201d Campbell said. \u201cThere\u2019s things that…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":339408,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[63],"tags":[4992,4993,349,99],"class_list":["post-339407","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-nfl","tag-detroit-lions-news","tag-detroit-lions-quotes","tag-nfl","tag-sports"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/339407","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=339407"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/339407\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/339408"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=339407"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=339407"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=339407"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
