ESPN has now taken to projecting the NFL’s top pass rushers in 2022, and the projected sacks leader for the Detroit Lions is increasingly iffy. Sports analytics can be as informative as they are overrated, depending on who you ask. When it comes to the Detroit Lions offensive line, ESPN’s analytics department is flat-out wrong and

It’s not at all a surprise, but the Detroit Lions have placed rookie wide receiver Jameson Williams on the reserve/NFI list as part of their moves to get down to 80 players. The Detroit Lions had to get from 85 to 80 players on the active roster by Tuesday afternoon. One move was out there
Allen Park — The Detroit Lions got the team’s roster down to the required 80 players ahead of Tuesday afternoon’s deadline by releasing veteran linebacker Shaun Dion Hamilton and moving four players — defensive end Romeo Okwara, fullback Jason Cabinda, wide receiver Jameson Williams and defensive lineman Josh Paschal — to injured lists, which will keep each out of
Jameson Williams will not make his NFL debut until October at the earliest. The Detroit Lions transferred their rookie wide receiver to the reserve/nonfootball injury list Tuesday, meaning he must miss at least the first four games of the regular season. The No. 12 pick of April’s NFL draft, Williams has not practiced with the
As Dan Campbell stood in front of reporters Monday, he took off his hat, scratched his head and let out a deep sigh. “Oh man, that’s a tough one,” he began. “I don’t know if I gave you an answer if I’d even be correct.” The Detroit Lions head coach was trying to answer a question about how many
As the Detroit Lions head toward the preseason finale, head coach Dan Campbell says plenty of roster spots to be determined. The final two roster cutdown days , starting Tuesday, will be tough ones for the Detroit Lions. Last year at this time, that would not have been said even as a surprise cut or
In today’s Lions Livestream we are discussing the Detroit Lions vs. Pittsburgh Steelers week 3 preseason game. The Lions will be playing the majority of their starters excluding starting QB Jared Goff. The Lions’ offensive line will have a good test against the Steelers to see if they can replicate the success they had versus
Step 1 in having a successful regular season? Staying healthy in the preseason, and as they approach their exhibition finale Sunday against the Pittsburgh Steelers, the Detroit Lions appear to be in relatively good health. The Lions have not suffered any major injuries in training camp, and the only players who have missed significant practice time
Allen Park — The Lions have had dirt kicked in their face for years. For the better part of the last six decades, really. So it’s a bit jarring to hear them now talking about being the schoolyard bully. And to be fair, Hank Fraley, the Lions’ offensive line coach, was a bit hesitant to

Allen Park — It wasn’t obvious at first glance, but the relative quietness of the Detroit Lions’ practice Monday afternoon hinted something was missing. A closer inspection showed, yes, there was a notable absence: The team’s coaching staff wasn’t on the field. Instead, the shorter session was being fully run by the players, who had been given
Well, that was one of the more unique practices I’ve ever seen. Detroit Lions coach Dan Campbell turned practice Monday over to his players — to the point there were no assistant coaches on the field. Campbell was there, observing from afar, and one Lions assistant (I think it was safeties coach Brian Duker) popped
Allen Park — Asked why he’s more confident about his team compared to a year ago, Detroit Lions coach Dan Campbell points to a number of factors. The young roster he and general manager Brad Holmes assembled last offseason is a year older, and, more importantly, more experienced. And the expectations, schematically and culturally, are better
It feels like a foregone conclusion who the Detroit Lions’ kickoff returner will be, but Maurice Alexander is at least making it a conversation. Upon arriving in Detroit Lions training camp after playing in the USFL, Maurice Alexander has looked like a natural return man by all accounts during practice. He has carried that into
The Detroit Lions are going to play starters Sunday against the Pittsburgh Steelers, with one exception.

The plan for the preseason finale Sunday against the Pittsburgh Steelers, the
Jared Goff will not be able to talk his way into playing in Sunday’s preseason finale against the Pittsburgh Steelers, but most of the rest of the Detroit Lions starters should see the field. Lions coach Dan Campbell said Monday he told his starters “to be prepared (to play) a half” against the Steelers after sitting

The Detroit Lions have completed two preseason games and have one left to go until the regular season. When it comes to the Lions’ preseason, wins do not matter but positional battles do. The Lions have so many battles to make the roster that every snap in the preseason could make or break a player’s
Tom Kennedy has been a preseason star for the Detroit Lions, and a noteworthy former NFL wide receiver took notice. Detroit Lions wide receiver Tom Kennedy led the entire NFL in receiving yards in Week 1 of this preseason, with 104 yards on his eight catches against the Atlanta Falcons.

INDIANAPOLIS — When Derrick Barnes showed up for his first day of work with the Detroit Lions last spring, he found a note from special assistant Chris Spielman in his locker. “It said, ‘What did I do today not to get cut?'” Barnes told me Saturday after the Lions’ preseason win over the Indianapolis Colts. “I
