🔹 The team's second touchdown came on a quarterback sneak from Tommy DeVito from around the 5-yard line.

TOP PLAYS (Offense)

🔹 Jones also found Darius Slayton for a first down.

🔹 Running back Saquon Barkley caught a screen pass from Jones and busted it loose for a big gain. The star running back also broke through for a big run during 11-on-11s. Barkley was seen chatting with some running back royalty as both Barry Sanders and Marshawn Lynch were in attendance for Tuesday's practice.

🔹 Wide receiver Cole Beasley came down with a couple of big catches from Tyrod Taylor, one of which he took for a big gain.

🔹 Wide receiver Sterling Shepard came down with a first down.

🔹 Kalil Pimpleton caught a deep pass from Tommy DeVito after beating a Lions cornerback down the field.

🔹 Running back James Robinson also broke through the line of scrimmage for a big run during 11-on-11s.

🔹 During 7-on-7s, Slayton won over the middle for a first down reception from Jones.

🔹 Shepard drew a penalty on a play and still came down with the catch.

🔹 Jones and Hyatt connected for another first down over the middle, before the quarterback found tight end Darren Waller on the sideline for another first down soon after.

🔹 Let's move on to individual drills, where wide receiver Isaiah Hodgins beat his man twice, the first of which drew a penalty and the second featured a strong double move to get by the defender.

🔹 Wide receiver Jamison Crowder made a contested catch during 1-on-1s with Lions cornerback Chase Lucas all over him.

🔹 Shepard made a contested catch with Lions cornerback Cam Sutton contesting the play.

🔹 Johnson made a nice double move to get his man near the sideline.

🔹 Pimpleton notched a deep reception.

TOP PLAYS (Defense)

🔹 We'll start with 1-on-1 drills. Cornerback Adoree' Jackson got his hands on two passes during this period, breaking up the play on both.

🔹 Cornerbacks Tre Hawkins III, Darnay Holmes, Amani Oruwariye and Zyon Gilbert all forced incompletions during individual drills.

🔹 Safety Bobby McCain excelled today in team drills, showing great coverage on numerous plays and forcing several incompletions.

🔹 Safety Jason Pinnock prevented a catch on a pass to Lions tight end Sam LaPorta.

🔹 Defensive lineman Leonard Williams and outside linebacker Kayvon Thibodeaux both got into the backfield during team drills, forcing the officials to stop the play.

🔹 Defensive lineman Dexter Lawrence had another pressure up the middle during the final 11-on-11 period, which likely would have been a sack in a game.

🔹 After a botched snap by the Lions, safety Dane Belton got in the backfield for a sack. A few plays later, cornerback Gemon Green also recorded a sack.
