Moore, who was one of the Lions' standouts during its second preseason game, is a second-round EDGE out of Michigan that Detroit hopes can bolster its pass rush opposite Aidan Hutchinson . The 6-foot-3, 260-pound rookie had a strip-sack fumble of Washington Commanders quarterback Sam Hartman in Detroit's 17-13 NFL preseason victory.

After Campbell indicated that he expected Hassanein to miss Thursday's training camp practice, Detroit News' Richard Silva reported that Hassanein practiced on Thursday .
