7 takeaways from HC Dan Campbell's media session
4. Lions first-round pick Terrion Arnold will make his NFL debut Sunday night. Campbell said Arnold is ready to go and is not lacking any confidence. Arnold will also not be limited to just one side of the field, either the boundary side or field side, per Campbell. That will give defensive coordinator Aaron Glenn some options between Arnold and veteran outside cornerback Carlton Davis III.
5. Second-year running back Jahmyr Gibbs talked to the media Tuesday and said he’s ready to go after missing a couple weeks with a hamstring injury.
Campbell made an interesting point about Gibbs’ injury, saying they are encouraging him to motor up to top speed at least once every practice to help avoid injury.
“Here’s the trick with Gibbs,” Campbell said. “And we tell him this. Everyone top to bottom tells him this. When you can run like he runs, I mean this guy can run, if you don’t touch that speed in practice at least once or twice a day you set yourself up for something to happen on Sunday.
“You’re a guy that runs 22 miles per hour you better touch it because the first time you touch it in a game when somebody is coming after you and you’re running away, that’s when bad things happen.”
Campbell said the trick has just been educating Gibbs on that philosophy and making him do that in practice so he doesn’t have a setback. They’ve been doing it ever since he got back.

Chickens, geese found at vacant home after nonprofit reports them stolen
Chickens and geese that went missing from a local nonprofit’s Detroit site were found in the backyard of a nearby home, the director of operations said Wednesday.
The Full Circle Foundation, a Grosse Point Park-based nonprofit, said more than a dozen chickens and geese were believed stolen from a chicken coop on Detroit’s east side that also features the Full Circle Edible Garden.
The nonprofit provides training and job opportunities for young people with special needs.
Neighbors who learned from news reports about the missing flock found the “chickens were being held in the backyard of a vacant home not far from the Full Circle Edible Garden,” said Stephanie DiVirgil, director of operations. She said Ribbon Farm 4-H owns the flock.
“The homeowner was contacted, and she reached out to Full Circle to confirm,” said DiVirgil. “We were able to retrieve all of the chickens and geese that were found on the property, 19 in total.”
The foundation and Ribbon Farms 4-H are working to secure the site, including cameras, fencing and lights.
“We will likely start a fundraising campaign to have these items installed,” DiVirgil said. “We’ve gotten amazing support from the community, including offers to help pay for these additional security measures.”
