ALLEN PARK — Defensive tackle Mike Daniels seems happy with his decision to sign with the Detroit Lions after he was released by the Packers
“It feels great, it feels really good, I’m super excited, I’m really enjoying everything,’’ said Damon who practiced for the first time on Monday.
Daniels, 30, was coming off a foot injury when he was signed so he didn’t hit the field during training camp. He said the foot feels good.
“Whenever you come off an injury, it’s a process and we were just taking a series of steps,’’ Daniels said.
He won’t say if he feels he needs to get in a preseason game to prepare for the regular season, instead he says it’s up to the coaches.
“Like with anything practice makes perfect,” Daniels said. “We were all out there today and it feels good. Look at A’Shawn (Robinson), Da’Shawn (Hand) and those guys — they did a lot of really good things last year and A’Shawn in years past. I like our group a lot, I like our room a whole lot.’’
Playing with veterans like Damon “Snacks” Harrison and Tre Flowers, another Lions’ newcomer, seems to have made the transition to Detroit easier after spending his whole career in Green Bay.
“It’s really nice to be out there with the guys, the more you play together, the better you get to understand everybody, know who you’re playing with, build the chemistry,’’ Daniels said. “Everybody has the right attitude, I don’t see chemistry being an issue. I think we can just step out there together … We all have the similar mentality, everyone wants to get better everyday that’s our goal to get better every day so it really doesn’t matter who we line up with.’’
The Lions, who have lost their first two preseason games, face the Buffalo Bills at 8 p.m. on Friday night at Ford Field for their third preseason game.
