Detroit Lions head coach Dan Campbell has shared an update on linebacker Jimmy Rolder, who has been dealing with a hamstring injury since late July. Campbell indicated that it is unlikely Rolder will be able to return to practice before the regular season begins next month. Despite being present at recent practices and working with trainers, Rolder's participation is limited.
Rolder acknowledged the difficulty of his recovery process and emphasized the importance of adhering to the team's plan. The Lions are set to take on the Washington Commanders at Ford Field on Saturday, with kickoff at 12:00 p.m. ET. Detroit aims to improve their preseason record to 1-1 after their opening loss to the Bengals. Rolder was drafted by the Lions in the fourth round of the 2026 NFL Draft from the University of Michigan, the same school from which they secured another Wolverines product in edge rusher Jimmy Rolder via a trade with the New York Jets.
