Detroit hosts its final preseason game on Saturday against the Pittsburgh Steelers and then has two weeks off until they open the season at home on Sunday Night Football against the Rams.

According to Campbell, several other players should be back on Sunday after the Steelers game.

Those players include Dan Skipper, Gibbs, Sam LaPorta and Malcolm Rodriguez. He also said they may get DT D.J. Reader going and working.

As for other players, Campbell said that he's not concerned about Terrion Arnold, who should return to practice next week, and said that Ennis Rakestraw is back at practice today.

"We're going to get a whole group of guys back, hopefully Sunday, then they'll get next week's practice before the Rams," Campbell said.
