Patricia also talked about growing as a head coach in his second season with Detroit.

"Certainly there's areas where things went a lot smoother, it's easier, even from a setup standpoint, the hotels, the field, the facilities here," Patricia said.

"There are certainly things that come up that did come up last year that are still new, and that happens no matter what it is," he added.

With the recovery, Patricia is also using a cart to get around the field while his knee heals.

He said he certainly already sees advantages. pic.twitter.com/JSmyzuMxVO
