DETROIT LIONS (7-9)OPEN CAMP: July 28, Allen Park, MichiganLAST YEAR: Lost first five games and seven of eight, leading to team president Tom Lewand, general manager Martin Mayhew and offensive coordinator Joe Lombardi getting fired. Trevor Story Jersey . Won seven of last nine games, helping coach Jim Caldwell retain job for third season, under first-year general manager Bob Quinn.IMPORTANT ADDITIONS: WRs Marvin Jones and Jeremy Kerley, rookie OT Taylor Decker, rookie DT AShawn Robinson, OG Geoff Schwartz.IMPORTANT LOSSES: WR Calvin Johnson, RB Joique Bell, DE Jason Jones, LB Stephen Tulloch, CB Rashean Mathis, SS James Ihedigbo.CAMP NEEDS: QB Matthew Stafford has to work on chemistry with receiving corps without Johnson, especially veteran newcomers Jones and Kerley. Detroit must figure out how to protect Stafford better and to open more holes for running game with reshaped line that includes Decker as highly touted, first-round pick. Defensively, coaches are hoping any DE -- perhaps Devin Taylor -- emerges to start opposite rising star Ezekiel Ansah. Lions also need DT -- ideally, Robinson -- can be paired with veteran Haloti Ngata.EXPECTATIONS: Lions had losing record in seven of Johnsons nine years. They will be projected to have another sub-.500 season without retired superstar drawing double-coverage on almost every snap. Quinn, first-time GM, will not be under pressure to win right away. Caldwell, though, will have to show new boss he can help franchise move in right direction.---AP NFL website: www.pro32.ap.org and www.twitter.com/AP-NFL DJ LeMahieu Jersey .

CHICAGO -- Josh Smith may not have much experience as a starting pitcher but at least the right-hander has been called on frequently between stints with Triple-A Louisville and the Cincinnati Reds.Reds manager Bryan Price figures previous work will help when Smith makes his 30th appearance and first start of the season on Tuesday against the Chicago Cubs.Price could have considered some others for a starting slot -- including candidates called up earlier this month from Triple-A Iowa.(But) were so far removed from the Triple-A season, he said. It ended on September 5. It is hard to ask guys to pitch when they havent had activity for two weeks.Smith (3-1, 4.97 ERA) will become the Reds 15th different starting pitcher this season and he faces Cubs left-hander Jon Lester (17-4, 2.40 ERA) in the second in a three-game series at Wrigley Field.Smith has had seven career starts -- all in 2005 -- as he went 0-4 with three no-decisions and a 6.82 ERA.

Ive seen him like this in Boston. Right now as a Cub, this is the best Ive seen his stuff consistently.While the Reds are winding down and looking to 2017, the Cubs are concentrating on some unfinished business and the upcoming National League playoffs.We have a unique opportunity right now for the next two weeks, Maddon said on Monday. The biggest thing we have left to do is to clinch the best record and that would ensure home field and hopefully secure 100 wins at some point.Clinching the division crown so early has also given the Cubs some options to rest starters and the opportunity to meet and leisurely ponder their postseason roster.Maddon said those discussions are starting this week.
