- Week 2 (preseason): vs. Washington Commanders
- Week 3 (preseason): at Indianapolis Colts
With the Lions having nixed joint practices heading into the 2026 season, the door is open for Detroit starters to play more in the 2026 preseason.
"I felt like we got two really good years of it. Like, man, we're really getting something out of this. Then, as it kind of went on, we got into that third year, whatever it was, '24, I don't know, it just felt counterproductive. It didn't feel like we were getting what I thought we would get out of it," Campbell said of eliminating joint practices in 2026.
While Campbell didn't fully commit to the idea of playing starters more in the preseason, he indicated in March that it could be a possibility.
