Detroit Lions safety C.J. Gardner-Johnson is coming back—and coming back soon—but according to coach Dan Campbell, he isn’t likely to play this week against the Minnesota Vikings. “He looks fresh, obviously. He’s moving around pretty good,” Campbell said. “So it’s really just about, we just need to get him more practices to make sure he’s…

The New Orleans Saints and Los Angeles Rams kicked off Week 16 of the 2023 NFL season, but that was just the first day of a weekend full of NFL football for fans to enjoy. Beyond the Thursday game, the NFL will also have two more games on Saturday, another 10 games on Sunday, and…

At 10-4, the Detroit Lions are hitting the road for the first of their final three games, heading west to face off with the Minnesota Vikings. Since losing starting quarterback Kirk Cousins earlier in the season, Minnesota’s play has been a mixed bag. They had that stretch of games earlier when nobody could stop talking…

On Thursday night, the Los Angeles Rams continues their hot streak, decisively beating the New Orleans Saints 30-22 in a pivotal NFC matchup. The Saints and Rams were both on the edge of the NFC playoff picture, so that result had huge implications for both teams. The Rams are now in an extremely favorable position—72%…

The Detroit Lions (10-4) and Minnesota Vikings (7-7) were back on the practice field on Thursday as they prepare to face off this Sunday at 1 p.m. ET. The Lions have been fortunate with their injuries this late in the season, and even though they have several players listed on this week’s report, their starters…

Everyone knows that Detroit Lions offensive coordinator Ben Johnson will be one of the hotter names in this year’s head coaching carousel. Apparently, Ben Johnson knows this, as well, because according to a report from NFL insider Josina Anderson, Johnson is seeking a ridiculous contract for a first-time head coach.

Detroit Lions tight end Sam LaPorta just keeps racking up the accolades. On Thursday, he was named NFL Rookie of the Week, the second time he’s won the award in the past three weeks. Against the Denver Broncos, LaPorta tallied five catches for 56 yards and three touchdowns. This week, he bested teammate Jahmyr Gibbs…

For the first time ever, the Detroit Lions can clinch the NFC North—their first divisional title in 30 years—with a win over the Minnesota Vikings. The sole team that poses a threat to the Lions in the division, the Vikings, have battled through plenty of adversity this year, losing key players and not getting insanely…

According to a report from NFL insider Aaron Wilson, the Detroit Lions are signing cornerback Craig James to their practice squad. The Lions have not confirmed this move, and at the time of this publishing, there is no reported corresponding move. That will be required, as the Lions are currently at their maximum of 16…

Earlier in the season, we were doing weekly check-ins with some of the players the Detroit Lions lost this offseason—whether it be via free agency or roster cuts. It was a neat way to keep track of some of the players we had grown to love and analyze whether the Lions made the right decision…

Since their tenure began in 2021, Detroit Lions general manager Brad Holmes and coach Dan Campbell have done an excellent job at identifying talent, and then developing that talent into legitimate NFL players. Some may take longer than others, but more often than not, this coaching staff assembled by Campbell finds a way.

I don’t think there’s been a more one-sided Detroit Lions stock report this season than the one I wrote after Saturday night’s win over the Denver Broncos. The Lions simply didn’t have a weak spot on offense or defense from start to finish and played arguably their most complete game of the season. Lions players…

On Tuesday, the Detroit Lions announced they are activating third-round rookie quarterback Hendon Hooker from the non-football injury list and waiving kicker Riley Patterson in a corresponding move. Hooker tore his ACL in November of 2022 while at the University of Tennessee and the Lions have slowly been working with him to return from injury.…

This week, the Detroit Lions sent season ticket renewal notices to “Lions Loyal” members for the 2024 season, and it’s causing a pretty big stir among fans. Fans went to Twitter on Monday to complain about huge price spikes for next year, many claiming their ticket prices are doubling for 2024.

As the Detroit Lions enter Week 16, the postseason is on the horizon and there are three different scenarios in which they could clinch a playoff berth for the first time since 2014: If the Lions simply handle their business and beat the Minnesota Vikings on Sunday, they will not only secure a spot in…

What a Sunday this could be for the Detroit Lions. The NFC North is up for grabs and could be claimed this week as the Lions take on the Minnesota Vikings. The Vikings are three games back on the Lions, and with three games left in the season, two of the three being against Detroit,…

The NFL season is a grind. A constant battle between competitors to see who has the endurance to outlast their opponents, while still producing at a high level. The teams that have the talent and drive to be the best will eventually outlast the competition and can enjoy the spoils of a job well done.

This week, the Philadelphia Eagles made somewhat of a desperate coaching move. After giving up over 30 points in three consecutive games, Philly opted to move defensive coordinator Sean Desai to the booth and essentially promote defensive assistant—and former Detroit Lions coach—Matt Patricia to the de facto defensive coordinator position. For Monday night’s critical game…

The Detroit Lions aren’t going to the playoffs… yet After the Philadelphia Eagles lost to the Seattle Seahawks, the Lions’ clinching of a playoff spot got delayed one more week. Detroit’s playoff odds remain around 99 percent, but they’ll have to wait at least a few more days to make it official.
