The Lions surely want to see it, and linebacker Derrick Barnes seems ready to step up in Year 2. When the Detroit Lions drafted Derrick Barnes in the fourth round in 2021, he was a raw linebacker prospect who had played a lot of defensive and at Purdue. While his production wasn’t awful as a
Kevin Jarvis stayed on the practice field for extra work Thursday, then trotted off with offensive quality control coach Steve Oliver, deep in conversation about what improvements he could implement for the next day. A former Michigan State football offensive lineman who signed with the Detroit Lions as an undrafted free agent, Jarvis is fixated on daily improvement in his
As draft season gets going in full force, these five Detroit Lions could become fantasy football stars this year. A popular fantasy sports acumen, no matter the sport (football, baseball, etc.), is don’t ignore players on bad teams in drafts, on the waiver wire, etc. Opportunity drives value, and even bad teams have opportunity to
I have not written much about Detroit Lions quarterback Jared Goff in my observations this summer because I don’t think there’s much to learn about veteran quarterbacks this time of year. Goff is very much a known commodity entering his seventh NFL season, and nothing he does in training camp is going to change the perception of
Allen Park — Here are some notes and observations from Thursday’s training camp practice. ► Fight! Ok, maybe the exclamation point is excessive, but with Detroit’s longest (and padded) practice of the offseason came some added aggressiveness that carried well beyond the whistle on multiple occasions. The largest fracas came during a full-team scrimmage where offensive
Allen Park — The flip side to effective roster building in the NFL is that when you add a new piece to the puzzle, whether through free agency or the draft, it likely means another player needs to be cast aside. So after the Detroit Lions re-signed Charles Harris this offseason, then drafted Aidan Hutchinson and Josh
Allen Park — In a red-zone period during training camp Thursday, second-year defensive back Ifeatu Melifonwu picked off David Blough. It was a nice play, but one that usually wouldn’t be too noteworthy beyond a simple mention. What made the interception unique was that it came when Melifonwu was playing safety, a new role he’s taken on this
Heading into a full season with the Detroit Lions, can Josh Reynolds be any kind of factor for fantasy managers? After a dismal early run last season with the Tennessee Titans, Josh Reynolds was waived and then easily claimed by the Detroit Lions. Reunited with Jared Goff, he averaged 16.1 yards per catch (19 for
The Detroit Lions are nearly two weeks into Detroit Lions training camp 2022. With so many practices and Lions news over the past two weeks, many observations can be seen with the lions’ offense, lions defense, and lions special teams. First, we will start with the Lions’ offense. Jared Goff has been throwing more deep
Kicker Austin Seibert combatted frustration and soreness during Detroit Lions OTAs in June, when the ball wasn’t coming off his foot with the same “pop” he was used to. “Obviously, guys want to come back sooner than their body will let them,” Seibert said Wednesday. “And when they get back on the field, you start getting stronger, so you
As he progresses in his recovery from a torn Achilles, Lions defensive end Romeo Okwara is optimistic. After he led the Detroit Lions in sacks in 2020, with 10, Romeo Okwara had his 2021 campaign end early due to a torn Achilles in Week 4. That puts him on a slightly different recovery timeline than teammate Jeff

Little victories have been a big deal for Romeo Okwara the past 10 months. Such as the first time he wiggled his toes after surgery. Or the first time he walked up a flight of stairs. The Detroit Lions defensive end tore his Achilles tendon in a loss to the Chicago Bears last October and is slowly
Allen Park — Lions safety Tracy Walker had options. The money elsewhere was better, he said. But ultimately, Walker chose to stay in a place where he could continue evolving as a leader and re-signed with Detroit on a three-year, $25 million deal this past offseason. “I definitely had more teams, I had more money

On this week’s episode of Twentyman in the Huddle presented by Microsoft, Tim Twentyman is first joined by The Ringer’s Kevin Clark to discuss the Lions roster and his recent sit-down with Brad Holmes at training camp. Next, SiriusXM NFL host and former NFL quarterback Jim Miller stops by to break down what he saw
Allen Park — Aidan Hutchinson. Charles Harris. Alim McNeill. Levi Onwuzurike. Josh Paschal. So on and so forth. There have been several additions to the Detroit Lions’ defensive line in the last two years, and there’s plenty of excitement about who will emerge as difference-makers in a season where everything is being cranked up to 11. But did you forget about
Someone shouted from behind a fence, as Detroit Lions owner Sheila Hamp walked across the practice field. “Hey Martha!” Ali Dakroub, 32, of Dearborn, yelled. “Martha!” OK. So he didn’t exactly nail the name. But Hamp walked over with a smile. “I’m not Martha,” she explained. “I’m Sheila.” After a warm greeting, she shook his hand.
