Full practice on Wednesday Rolder (hamstring) was a full participant in Wednesday's practice, Tim Twentyman of the Lions' official site reports.

Impact Rolder was week-to-week throughout training camp with a hamstring issue. The linebacker was able to log a full practice during the Lions' first Week 1 session and should be all set to suit up for Sunday's contest against the Saints.

Remains week-to-week Coach Dan Campbell said Rolder (hamstring) could begin practicing pretty early in the season, Nolan Bianchi of The Detroit News reports.

Impact The fourth-round rookie was injured early in camp and has missed the past three weeks with a strained hamstring. It sounds like he's going to miss the remainder of camp and the preseason. As a rookie, Rolder is expected to work as a depth linebacker and special teams player.

Avoids major injury Rolder (leg) will miss some time but avoided severe injury, NFL reporter Jordan Schultz reports.

Impact The promising rookie left Friday's practice due to the issue. If Rolder can return before the start of the regular season, he could yet prove he is a reliable depth option at linebacker for the Lions. The recent signing of Devin White makes the competition tougher, but the team is always looking for depth at the position they have been notoriously injury-prone with.

Tending to leg issue Rolder left the Lions' training camp practice early with a leg injury Friday, Kory Woods of MLive.com reports.

Impact It's not the start the rookie would have hoped for either way, but the severity of Rolder's injury is still not clear. Until he's ready to resume practicing, Joe Bachie could see an uptick in practice reps at linebacker.
