Adam Schefter: Jared, thanks for joining us today. You’ve had a strong stretch so far this season. Let’s dive in. First off — how intense has training camp and your weekly prep been for the Lions? How are the players holding up physically?
Jared Goff: Thanks, Adam. The intensity is high — that’s the standard in Detroit. Every day’s a battle. We’re pushing strength work, conditioning, reps in situational football. There’s always wear and tear, but so far we’ve tried to manage it smartly. Guys are gaining confidence, limits are being tested, but that’s part of building consistency through a full season.
Adam Schefter: Are there any injury concerns or guys you’re watching closely? Who is questionable or limited this week?
Jared Goff: We’ve had a couple bumps — for example, Terrion Arnold had a hamstring strain earlier in camp. Coach Campbell said it’s not major, but we’re cautious with him. Beyond that, no major red flags publicly disclosed. You always monitor the usual minor stuff — soreness, nagging issues — but the medical staff is doing a good job.
Adam Schefter: Looking ahead to the Browns — from your perspective, which Browns player do you expect to cause you the most problems? Who gives you the most respect?
Jared Goff: Cleveland has some dangerous pieces. I’d say Joe Tryon-Shoyinka is one guy I’m watching — he’s a young edge rusher with real burst and bend. Their pass rush overall is something we have to plan for. Also, interior guys like their defensive tackles, especially Maliek Collins, will test your pocket integrity. My job is to stay balanced, catch up protection, and make smart reads against pressure.
Adam Schefter: How does your coaching staff and the offense collectively plan to counteract that rush and keep drives alive?
Jared Goff: It’s a mix. Max protection when necessary, quick game, adjusting route concepts, slide protections, running balls away from pressure. Communication in the line is critical. If we anticipate where pressure might come from, we can reduce negative plays. But execution has to be clean — that’s always the challenge.
Adam Schefter: One last question — throughout such physical weeks and matchups, how do you personally maintain focus and mental sharpness?
Jared Goff: Routine, film, prep, and compartmentalization. I try to control what I can — study the defenses, know our calls, keep composure under duress. Physically you get tired; mentally you can’t. So it’s about staying sharp, staying confident in the plan, and trusting your teammates and coaches.
Adam Schefter: Jared, appreciate your time and insight. Best of luck Sunday — we’ll see you on the field.
Jared Goff: Thanks, Adam. Looking forward to it.
