Alex Anzalone, who wants a new contract from Detroit Lions, took part in walk-through and individual drills Saturday for first time in training camp.

ALLEN PARK -- Alex Anzalone made his return to Detroit Lions practice on Saturday. But the linebacker said that is due to his progression through a hamstring injury and nothing to do with his ongoing contract wishes.

Linebacker Alex Anzalone is on the practice field at Lions training camp on Saturday. Anzalone did not take part in the team's first set of practice sessions this summer, but multiple reporters at Saturday's workout send word that Anzalone is in uniform and on the field with the rest of the club.
