Lions

• A league executive weighed in on how tough the loss of Ben Johnson will be on the Lions: “Ben Johnson took total advantage of the four-down game-management approach because he’s a really, really good play caller, an evil genius, really. Losing him would almost be like the Rams losing Sean McVay.” (Mike Sando)
• Another executive is worried about how well role players will play on defense without Aaron Glenn: “I will be curious with role players if there is a dropoff because you have to have a vision for how to deploy these guys. Glenn was really good at that, getting the best out of a Derrick Barnes and those guys.” (Sando)
• Penn State S Jaylen Reed took a 30 visit with the Lions. (Mike Garafolo)
• Virginia S Jonas Sanker will take an official 30 visit with the Lions. (Tom Pelissero)
• Arkansas WR Isaac TeSlaa has a 30 visit scheduled with the Lions. (Jordan Schultz)

Packers

• A league executive gave his thoughts on why the Packers went all out for G Aaron Banks: “Jordan Love got hurt last year, so with Banks coming from the same offense, that allows them to add protection in a guy who is young and knows the system. I do not know if Banks is the right guy, but I see the thinking behind what they are doing.” (Mike Sando)
• Texas WR Matthew Golden took a 30 visit with the Packers. (Bill Huber)
• South Carolina DT T.J. Sanders took a 30 visit with the Packers. (Easton Butler)
