Lions outline 2026 plan at the Combine: Petzing's fit, defense tweaks, OT depth, Joseph update, and Clark retirement

At the NFL Scouting Combine, Detroit head coach Dan Campbell outlined five takeaways: Drew Petzing is a creative, versatile fit for the offense and is already working with Jared Goff; the defensive staff will tweak schemes as Campbell emphasizes tighter execution; left tackle depth is a priority if Taylor Decker retires and to prepare for injuries; Kerby Joseph's return from knee soreness is being carefully managed; and Mike Clark is retiring after 50 years, with Josh Schuler set to run the team's strength program.
