Detroit Lions Preseason Snap Counts Against Cincinnati Bengals

The Detroit Lions took the field for the first time in the 2026 preseason and were able to gain a significant amount of information about those battling for roster spots.

Among the many players supporters were interested in following against the Cincinnati Bengals was rookie Blake Miller.

Detroit Lions head coach Dan Campbell expressed he wanted to watch the film prior to making any true judgements about the play of the first-round pick in his debut.

The former NFL tight end did indicate it was a positive sign he wasn't overly focused on Miller or Larry Borom during their time on the field, which typically is a positive sign.

"Until I really watch the film, I can’t make a true judgment. I’ll tell you this, though, I didn’t feel like my eyes were ever on him or Larry (Borom), and that’s a positive," said Campbell. "That means that’s a pretty good sign. Like, man, they’re handling their business because I didn’t feel like we had any issues on the perimeter with those two guys in there. So, I thought he did a good job. I thought he handled it well.”
