The preseason is more about individual performances than it is team performances. The Detroit Lions sat 31 players on Thursday, most of whom are expected to be big contributors to the 2024 team. So, no, the score doesn’t matter. The team unit performances don’t really matter. It’s all about players and how they helped or…

Welcome to the 2024 NFL season! It was perhaps not the debut the Detroit Lions were looking for, but there were plenty of opportunities to evaluate the roster heading into the thick of training camp. The Lions were felled 14-3 by the New York Giants in a quiet offensive affair, yet the score of the…

It was a rough first half for Detroit Lions veteran quarterback Nate Sudfeld. But the offense had a notable extra dimension when second-year passer Hendon Hooker took over in the second half. The Lions utilized Hooker’s mobility early and often, and the former Tennessee Volunteer got into a nice rhythm. But no play was more…

After two physical practices on Monday and Tuesday earlier this week, the Detroit Lions went on the road to take on the New York Giants in a slow-moving, rainy game on Thursday night. It wasn’t a downpour, but the rain seemed to affect the players on the field as players were slipping and there were…

The Detroit Lions kick off their preseason schedule on Thursday night with a matchup against the New York Giants. It’s the culmination of a fiery week of practices between the two teams. And while neither team is expected to play many starters, it’s still exciting to watch some “real” football, particularly when it’s kicking off…

We’re starting to finalize our plans for the 2024 Detroit Lions season, and, as always, we’re looking to expand our reach to the community. Part of what has always made Pride of Detroit special and unique is our interactivity with the fans. Be it fantasy football leagues, community mock drafts, Movember, or our podcasts, we’re…

We are entering Year 4 for the Detroit Lions under Dan Campbell and now, following their fourth different series of joint practices under this regime, it’s easier to project what to expect as far as who will play against the New York Giants in preseason Week 1. Dan Campbell places high value for the development…

In what is sure to be the most hotly contested matchup of practice football, the Detroit Lions kick off their preseason tonight against the New York Giants in East Rutherford. After a couple of incredibly physical practices spurred more fights than anyone in person or on Twitter could keep track of, the Lions and Giants…

Per multiple reports, the NFL has fined both the New York Giants and Detroit Lions $200,000 each for the amount of fights and scuffles that broke out during their pair of joint practices this week. The first practice on Monday was filled with fights from the beginning to the end, with Lions reporter Kyle Meinke…

The Detroit Lions have Wednesday off as they prepare for their preseason opener against the New York Giants. So I thought this was a good opportunity to open up our mailbag—but with a twist. Yes, myself and Erik Schlitt did a Midweek Mailbag podcast on Tuesday night, but I thought for those that don’t love…

If you read the New York Giants media’s take on Day 1 of joint practices with the Detroit Lions, most believed New York—at the very least—hung with the gritty Lions. But the tone out of New Jersey was a little different for Tuesday’s practice. While things certainly remained high-intensity, it certainly sounds like the Lions…

Hearts are breaking for Emmanuel Moseley as the Lions announced Tuesday he suffered an injury that’ll keep him off the field indefinitely. The cornerback suffered a torn pectoral at practice that will keep him sidelined for an undetermined amount of time. While all injuries straight up stink, what makes this news particularly brutal is this…

The Detroit Lions are wrapping up joint practices in New Jersey on Tuesday in preparation for their preseason Game 1 against the New York Giants on Thursday. In previous training camps, the Lions have shown a pattern of resting key players during preseason games following joint practices with their opponent, and in 2024, they appear…

Tuesday hasn’t gotten off to a great start for the Detroit Lions. It kicked off with news that cornerback Emmanuel Moseley is out indefinitely after suffering a torn pectoral. The news got a little better later when coach Dan Campbell noted that the injuries to Terrion Arnold—who will practice Tuesday—and Kevin Zeitler are not considered…

According to a report from ESPN’s Adam Schefter, Detroit Lions cornerback Emmanuel Moseley suffered a torn pectoral at practice this week, and will be out indefinitely. It’s another moment of terrible luck for Moseley, who has now suffered three serious injuries in three consecutive seasons. He played in just five games in 2022 before tearing…

As training camp continues and evolves into the preseason, we’re getting a better understanding of where the Detroit Lions roster stands. That said, with so much overhaul on the defensive side of the ball—and a ton of players repping at several positions—it’s hard to make sense of everything.

For the past two weeks, we’ve consumed every bit of Detroit media about Lions training camp. But thanks to joint practices with the New York Giants this week, we’re able to get a bit of an outsider perspective on this year’s team. It’s a fresh set of eyes, and while Giants media was predominantly focused…

Prior to Monday’s joint practice with the New York Giants, Detroit Lions coach Dan Campbell offered a couple of quick injury updates. To start, Campbell noted that tight end Sam LaPorta was going to sit out practice with an undisclosed injury, and defensive back Brian Branch would be limited to individual drills and seven-on-seven work.…

In the days leading up to their first preseason game of 2024, the Detroit Lions will be joining the New York Giants at their practice facility in East Rutherford, New Jersey for joint practices. Both teams have had significant additions on their respective rosters this offseason, and there will be some very interesting matchups to…

For years when I was a kid (and if we are being honest, as a young adult) the release of Madden was almost a holiday. It signaled that football season was getting close, and playing the game was a great way to pass the time until the real thing got started. Now, in the year…
