Allen Park<\/em>\u00a0\u2014 Dan Campbell will be having his morning coffee at home this week.<\/p>\n As the\u00a0Detroit Lions\u00a0prepare to enter the bye week, the head coach said he’s placing importance on his players and staff getting some crucial rest and relaxation.<\/p>\n “I’m cutting the staff loose tonight, but I gave them some things I want to see, work at their leisure when they get back,” Campbell explained Tuesday.<\/p>\n “I want just a couple of answers on a few things that I wanted them to look out for, but I think it’s important they get away. I do, man. This’ll be the last chance we get a bit of time to (relax) \u2014 no different than the players.”<\/p>\n The bye week will be crucial on a couple of fronts. For one, it’ll give injured players a chance to heal without worrying about preparing for a game. That list of players includes offensive tackle Taylor Decker (shoulder), cornerback Terrion Arnold (shoulder), safeties Kerby Joseph (knee) and Brian Branch (ankle\/foot).<\/p>\n But it’ll also give the Lions an opportunity to diagnose some key issues that have been plaguing the team. Campbell said their offensive third-down efficiency is one area where he wants to get a closer look.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Allen Park\u00a0\u2014 Dan Campbell will be having his morning coffee at home this week.
