Detroit Lions DL Cliff Avril said he doesn’t plan on reporting to the team’s training camp next week. Avril was tagged as the team’s franchise player in March, but the two sides failed to reach a long-term agreement before the July 16th deadline.

Our View: Avril is unhappy the two sides didn’t get a deal done, but we can’t imagine him missing any time in the regular season. He’s concerned about getting hurt in training camp, and may miss a couple of weeks.
