The Detroit Lions are set to embark on a pair of joint practices with the New York Giants on Monday and Tuesday ahead of their preseason Week 1 game this weekend, but Detroit's accommodations are, shall we say, less than ideal.
Before practice kicked off on Monday morning, Giants beat reporter and ESPN scribe Jordan Raanan tweeted out a photo of where the Lions will be changing into their gear — and it isn't much.
The Lions are changing behind nothing but black curtains which, as you can see in the picture, can easily be looked through via the spaces in between the curtains.
Thankfully, the Lions have no shortage of grit and should be able to overcome this.

Talk about a lack of privacy. With the hundreds of millions of dollars NFL teams are working with, you would assume the Giants could do better than that.
What's worse is Detroit — a franchise that has never won a Super Bowl — has to change right under the Giants' Super Bowl XLVI banner.
This is the second consecutive year in which the Lions and Giants are holding joint practices. It is also the second straight year in which the two teams will meet in the preseason opener.
After the two joint practices on Monday and Tuesday, the Lions and Giants will meet yet again on Thursday, Aug. 8, for their first contest of the exhibition slate. The Lions also face the Kansas City Chiefs and Pittsburgh Steelers in their final two preseason games but do not have joint practices scheduled with either.
