It’s been an eventful first two weeks of training camp, and for many of the players competing for jobs or roster spots, the game against the Bengals is much more than just another exhibition game. It’s a chance for some to cement their status as cut-down day looms in the not-so-distant future. And while the majority of the core starters won’t even dress, there will be a handful of younger players that are out there for at least a few series—like Lions rookie right tackle Blake Miller, who coach Dan Campbell has already confirmed will see some action on Thursday night.
Other young players like second-year offensive lineman Miles Frazier and defensive end Ahmed Hassanein have a chance to build upon strong camp performances. On the defensive side of the ball, there will be plenty to watch, including how third-year cornerback Ennis Rakestraw looks when he is out there.
