Minutes after signing his three-year, $60 million extension with the Detroit Lions, left tackle Taylor Decker stepped in front of the monster Meijer podium with his daughter Daisy in tow to speak to the media. It was an emotional moment for Decker, as the signing of this contract—his third with the Lions—represents a real chance…

After taking Sunday off, the Detroit Lions were back on the field on Monday for their fifth training camp practice. With fans in attendance and pads coming on for the first time in camp, the Lions were finally able to unleash their building intensity, making for a highly entertaining day of football.

Monday is a big day at Detroit Lions training camp. Not only is it the first practice that is open to the general public, but it’s expected to be the first day in which players are donning full pads. In other words, expect a ton of energy coming from the stands, and a high-intensity practice…

With the Detroit Lions set to kick off Week 2 of training camp on Monday morning, we felt it was a good opportunity to check in with some of the biggest positional battles after a week of work. Our Bubble Watch series attempts to update you on the latest developments at each position and offer…

Detroit Lions quarterback Hendon Hooker has looked noticeably better in training camp than he did in Organized Team Activities in the spring. He’s more accurate, he looks like he’s in better command of the offense, and he just looks more comfortable. Some of this is likely due to normal progression as a younger player going…

With each passing day, the 2024 NFL preseason grows ever closer, and with it will come our first look at the new Detroit Lions. Preseason football is rarely heart-pounding like the regular season or postseason, but it nonetheless captures the attention of many. By this point, we have seen players in uniforms and shells in…

There has been a lot of talk about the Detroit Lions’ offseason over the course of the spring and summer months. Analysts from around the country have spoken at length about how additions along the offensive line and how a revamped secondary should once again have the team playing deep into the postseason.

The Detroit Lions will welcome the general public into their training facility for Days 5-9 of 2024 training camp. If you’re headed to Allen Park to partake in the fun, make sure you bring sunscreen and be ready to hydrate, because even with the impressive new seating areas, there are still pockets of camp that…

The Detroit Lions had never experienced the kind of continuity and consistency at the quarterback position that Matthew Stafford provided. Not in my lifetime, not in my father’s lifetime (who was born in 1960), so not in the entire Super Bowl era for an organization that’s been in the NFL since 1930. The closest names…

The Detroit Lions have been remarkably healthy through the first four days of training camp, and that luck appeared to continue through Saturday’s practice. Outside of the tough news that kicker Michael Badgley is out for the year, the Lions continue to have just two players absent at practice: rookie guard Christian Mahogany, who has…

On Saturday, the Detroit Lions will take their practice field—newly donned as the Meijer Performance Center—in front of season ticket holders. Without a doubt, that will add some extra juice to practice—not that the Lions need it after a trio of spirited practices during the work week. Still, there will be a buzz in Allen…

The Detroit Lions have produced top-five offenses in back-to-back seasons, which has been the leading source of their recent surge to the NFC Championship Game. That has led many to believe that if the Lions could manage just a top-10 unit on the other side of the ball, a championship run is very much on…

We’re only a few days into training camp and the intensity is already starting to ramp up. With players wearing shells for the first time on Friday, there were reports of some skirmishes breaking out between players after a few physical plays. It seems players are itching to get those pads on, which will happen…

The Detroit Lions practiced in front of an audience for the first time in 2024 training camp, as they welcomed in friends and family members of players, coaches, and organizational employees. Friday also marked the first day the Lions could practice in shells and with that change came another level of intensity.

Former Detroit Lions cornerback Jerry Jacobs has finally found a new NFL home. As first reported by ESPN’s Jeremy Fowler, Jacobs is signing with the Los Angeles Rams. Jacobs’ contract with the Lions expired this offseason after three seasons and 40 games played in Detroit. Over that time, Jacobs tallied 29 starts, 23 passes defended,…

According to reports from MLFootball and Mike Payton of A To Z Sports, the Detroit Lions have worked out UFL kicker Andre Szmyt. The news comes in the aftermath of Detroit losing starting kicker Michael Badgley to a torn hamstring this week that will cause him to miss the entirety of the 2024 season.

Thanks to a big infusion of talent during the offseason, we likely will continue to read about the Detroit Lions tinkering with various lineups in the secondary. While it was a relative weakness with last year’s team, this year’s roster has a plethora of options to choose from in 2024.

The Detroit Lions announced on Thursday afternoon that they have signed defensive lineman David Bada. It’s a noteworthy addition for a couple of reasons. First and foremost, Bada is a German-born player who has been a part of the NFL’s International Pathways Program since 2020. Since then, he has been on and off the Washington…

As the Detroit Lions inch closer to the regular season, it becomes clearer and clearer that they project defensive back Brian Branch in an increasingly large safety role. Branch played almost exclusively in the nickel last year, and even though coach Dan Campbell knows the 2023 second-round pick thrives at that position, he thinks Branch…

The Detroit Lions have been making history of late. With an offense slated to be among the league’s best, is there a chance they achieve one of the rarer feats in NFL history? In the modern NFL, a decent offense typically finishes with one 1000-yard receiver, more so as a byproduct of explosive passing numbers…
