The Detroit Lions will rest most of their starting lineup in their first preseason game against the Los Angeles Chargers. Coach Dan Campbell stated the focus will be on players less likely to see game action. Key players like Jared Goff, Amon-Ra St. Brown, and Aidan Hutchinson are expected to sit, giving opportunities to backups and younger players. This strategy mirrors their approach in previous preseasons where they rested significant portions of their starting roster to avoid injury.
