▶ The Lions dominated the first day of joint practices against the Dolphins, full stop. The offense dominated; the defense dominated; even punter Jack Fox put a ball out of bounds at the 2-yard line. It was a bloodbath. The first teams took a majority of reps, since joint practices are in some way a substitute for playing in preseason.

The Dolphins offense had much more to be encouraged about on Day 2 of joint practices with the Lions, starting out hot with QBs throwing six TDs in 7-on-7 drills.
