Detroit closes camp with a high-stakes tune-up against Houston, a final proving ground for the Lions’ offense and defense before the regular season. Campbell plans 40 to 50 plays for his starters, roughly three quarters, to gauge rhythm with new coordinators while the Texans push back with a Ryans-anchored defense to test timing and execution. The Lions enter the affair carrying questions about the health and readiness of stems like Hutchinson, Gibbs, St. Brown, Goff, and Branch, who could anchor the attack if they’re able to stay on the field. Goff’s recent struggles against Houston in last year’s meeting—five interceptions—hang as a reminder of what’s at stake. Houston’s side will also be measured in this heat test, as DeMeco Ryans looks to prove the defense can handle a loaded Detroit offense that also features Decker and Barnes in the trenches. The Dolphins provided a tougher look last week, but the Texans offer a different challenge, testing Detroit’s capabilities in second- and third-down scenarios and forcing the defense off the field. The stakes are clear: this practice is a last big step toward a sharper regular-season rhythm, especially with Week 1 looming against Green Bay.
