The Facts: The Lions have activated Tate from the Physically Unable to Perform list and the team’s biggest free agent addition is expected to take part in his first camp practice as a member of the Lions.

Diehards Line:As PFT notes, Tate’s return to practice will allow him to speed up the process of familiarizing himself with the offense being installed by offensive coordinator Joe Lombardi this offseason. Coach Jim Caldwell said, via the Detroit Free Press, that quarterback Matthew Stafford has shown good command of the offense and as PFT notes, getting the guys catching his passes on the same page will be an important next step of the process in Detroit.
