Yeah after the rain the high went down to low 90s. Still it is 90s so it is still HOT.

Just enough rain to feel like a sauna

Curious to know if Lions plan to play or rest their starters tonight. Seems like the dress rehearsal is no longer a thing anymore with a mix of teams deciding to play or sit their starters for almost all of the preseason games including game #3.

Yeah moving to 3 games has ruined preseason. Someone had to say it.

Detroit Lions

After taking down the Giants 21-16 in their opener, the Lions were comprehensively outplayed by the Jaguars in their second game resulting in a big 25-7 loss. Head coach Dan Campbell has opted not to play his starters so far in preseason, leaving the quarterback duties to Nate Sudfeld and Teddy Bridgewater. Sudfeld completed 9-of-18 last week for 80 yards, a touchdown, and an interception, while Bridgewater threw 5-for-11 for 34 yards.

Which Lions will play, expected inactives

Campbell has stated the plan is to keep the starters out of the preseason finale, so expect to see the QB duties split between Sudfeld and Bridgewater again. “I want to see how today and tomorrow goes, but I think it’s going to look very much like the first two games,” said Campbell of the finale.

Teddy 2 Gloves revenge game incoming

[Jackie Lee]

There’s enough ambiguity for Campbell to change his mind there, but after watching Tuesday’s practice, I think it’s almost a certainty the Lions will not play their starters on Friday. Detroit opted to run a scrimmage that mocked an entire preseason game. Not only was there live tackling (except for quarterbacks, obviously), but the team actually went inside the building at “halftime” for 10 minutes before coming out and finishing the game.

Amazing how it can be in the low 90s in High Point but just a couple hundred miles south it is over 100. 
Summer isn’t going out without a fight it seems.
