One of the most miraculous stories this offseason has been the return of Detroit Lions defensive tackle Levi Onwuzurike. After struggling with a back injury the first two years of his NFL career, he underwent surgery last October which coach Dan Campbell referred to as a “last resort.” Many, including myself, had pretty much written…

Last week, we polled Pride of Detroit users on the Detroit Lions’ 2023 record, and a whopping 89 percent of you believe the team will win at least 10 games. That would be quite an accomplishment for this franchise, as they’ve reached double-digit wins in a season just twice since 1995 and only five times…
Week 1 of the 2023 NFL season is here and the Detroit Lions released their first injury report of the year on Sunday. All 53 players on the Lions active roster were present for Monday’s practice, and only one player was limited, indicating a healthy team for the start of the season.
On Thursday, the Detroit Lions will open the season against the Kansas City Chiefs on the biggest spotlight there is for Week 1 of the season.

The 2023 regular season is almost here and now is a great time to get all your online sports fantasy games in order.

The Detroit Lions, for the first time in my adult lifetime, are in the driver’s seat for the NFC North. There’s not only an opportunity for them to win the division in 2023, there’s an expectation. After three offseasons of rebuilding, the Lions roster looks ripe for serious competition, but this is the NFL. If…
We all know the Detroit Lions have high expectations for the 2023 season. In fact, it’s not something the team is even hiding from anymore. They’re embracing the idea that they’re a good football team now, and using that as motivation to not rest on their laurels. There has been optimism in Detroit before, but…
The Detroit Lions entered training camp with most of their starting positions already assumed. There was some shifting here and there—like rookie Brian Branch working his way into the starting lineup—but for the most part, the Lions didn’t mess with their first teamers much of any in training camp.
As the Detroit Lions hype train prepares to depart from the terminal to kick off the 2023 regular season, it looks like a lot of national analysts are on board.

When analyzing the Detroit Lions roster, it may be easy to overlook Charles Harris. Recently, the Lions have added a bunch of new players on defense, including five draft picks picked in the first two rounds over the last three years. Meanwhile, Harris is coming off an injury-shortened season in which he only logged six…
The Detroit Lions 2023 draft class will go down as a pivotal selection of players. General manager Brad Holmes tossed some conventional wisdom out the window and just selected, as he would put it, “football players.” Positional value or immediate need didn’t seem to concern him too much, and while that drew some poor reviews…
The Detroit Lions held their first practice of Week 1 open to the media on Saturday, and all but one player on the 53-man roster was accounted for on the field. Defensive tackle Isaiah Buggs was the only player who was not out there participating during the first 15 minutes of practice—which is all the…
Earlier this week, Kansas City Chiefs coach Andy Reid told a crazy story about how he once used a play from a janitor, and it actually resulted in a touchdown. “I took one from a janitor one time at Green Bay,” Reid said. “He goes, ‘I got this play for you.’ And he kept telling…
Welcome back to school, college football. Is that too corny? No matter; nobody from Nebraska is watching these games today anyway out of misery and sadness, so corn will have nothing to do with it. It’s not even really the start of the “return” of college football, what with the advent of “Week 0” and…
As happens every year, now that the Detroit Lions have cut the roster down to 53 players, several people on the team have decided to select a new jersey number for the 2023 season. For example, Teddy Bridgewater—who was wearing No. 50 early in preseason due to no quarterback numbers being available—will now be sporting…

Detroit Lions general manager Brad Holmes and assistant general manager Ray Agnew met with the media on Friday to discuss the latest roster cuts and the 2023 NFL season ahead.

The Detroit Lions made a mildly surprising move prior to their 53-man roster cutdowns. Despite suffering a setback from his torn ACL recovery near the start of training camp, cornerback Emmanuel Moseley was activated from the Physically Unable to Perform list on Tuesday. The move makes Moseley—one of the team’s biggest free-agent signings—eligible to play…
