With only a few installments left in our 2023 Detroit Lions roster ranking series, we’re starting to get into the most important pieces of this year’s squad. If this team is truly going to make the kind of impact many are predicting them to, these are the people who will have to have big years…

The first two years of Levi Onwuzurike’s NFL career haven’t been the best of starts. But despite all the hardships, the Detroit Lions’ third-year defensive tackle is ready to put the struggles—and more importantly, his back injury—behind him and get his football career back on track.
There is no time of year when there is such a huge influx of Detroit Lions news than training camp. Not only is it the only time of year when we get to watch full practices, but preceding almost every practice is a Dan Campbell press conference. Additionally, we get player interviews done after practice…
As veterans arrive on campus for training camp, the Detroit Lions announced just one player, Emmanuel Moseley, would start on the Physically Unable to Perform (PUP) list. UPDATE: The Lions also announced Marvin Jones Jr. will start on the Non-Football Injury (NFI) list. Jones was at practice on Monday and sprinting around pretty well with…
Welcome to the first day for 2023 Detroit Lions training camp. If you’re like us, you’re not only excited for the huge amount of information that is about to flow into your eyeballs, but the potentially huge season ahead for Detroit. The first practice of camp begins early in the morning on Sunday, and our…
The Detroit Lions 2023 training camp is upon us and that means it’s time to release another installment of our 53-man roster projection. We published our first projection of the season following the conclusion of the NFL Draft, but since then have seen the current group of players go through OTAs and minicamp in the…
When Detroit Lions’ left tackle Taylor Decker was originally drafted 16th overall in the 2016 NFL draft, things looked much different than they do now. The coach was Jim Caldwell, black was still an official color in the Lions’ color scheme, and names like Dan Campbell and Brad Holmes wouldn’t mean much to fans in…
We like to joke (grouse?) about how the Detroit Lions fail to garner proper respect from national outlets, but here’s a list that raises some questions with regards to consistency in methodology. Pro Football Focus’ Sam Monson posted an article on Friday of the PFF50, or their top 50 players in the league regardless of…
The long-awaited release of “Inside the Den” finally has a date. The Detroit Lions’ Emmy-winning, behind-the-scene documentary series will premiere its next installment on the 2023 NFL Draft on Thursday, July 27. At this point, there is not a specific time in which the episode is expected to be released, but it will likely debut…
On Friday, we explored the Detroit Lions players on the roster bubble on the offensive side of the ball. On defense, the picture is a little more muddled. The Lions made a lot of changes in the offseason—particularly in the secondary—which means some familiar faces for the past few years may be on their way…
In 2021, Charles Harris was one of the few Detroit Lions players who made the most of his one-year prove it deal from general manager Brad Holmes. A two-year, $14 million pay day was his reward for being Detroit’s most productive pass rusher during Year 1 of the retool. With the Lions, his fifth year…
According to NFL insider Aaron Wilson, the Detroit Lions are intending on re-signing running back Justin Jackson. Many were curious as to why the Lions didn’t re-sign Jackson earlier this offseason, seeing as he was a solid, significant contributor to last year’s team. Jackson was the Lions’ primary kick returner and held the fourth-highest kick…
It is the final day before Detroit Lions training camp—the last few hours of “summer” for us football writers. What better way to spend the night at the movies? But, no, we aren’t pulling the viral double featuring “Barbie” and “Oppenheimer.” We’re not going to watch Tom Cruise drive a motorcycle off a mountain. I’m…
While this discussion would be even cooler if the Detroit Lions were playing their 2023 season in some new threads, at least fans were treated to a new helmet. Full of young talent, there are several members of the Lions’ roster who could sell plenty of jerseys during the upcoming season.
With Detroit Lions training camp just a few days away, it’s time for the return of our offseason series “Bubble Watch.” In this series, we will identify the players on the roster bubble and our staff will make predictions on whether they will make the initial 53-man roster or not. We will do this every…
On Thursday afternoon, the Detroit Lions announced a flurry of roster moves and designations. They confirmed both the trade for Denzel Mims and the release of kicker Michael Badgley. In addition to that, they have placed three players on the Non-Football Injury (NFI) list: QB Hendon Hooker, TE Derrick Deese Jr., and DL Zach Morton.
On Wednesday, we broke down the players on the Detroit Lions 2023 roster who were ranked 70-61 according to our staffers. I called this the roster bubble of this Lions team, but, in truth, that’s just half of the bubble. The next 10 players on our list will also be fighting for their football lives…
Late on Wednesday night, news broke that the Detroit Lions and New York Jets have agreed to a trade that would send former second-round pick Denzel Mims to Detroit. Since the trade went public, details have been slowly rolling out about the trade (which remains unofficial). Here’s what we know about the trade terms and…
Wednesday night, news broke that the Detroit Lions have agreed to trade for Jets receiver Denzel Mims. Any time a team adds a player who was drafted in the second round just four years ago, it’s bound to get some fans excited. However, Mims never came close to living up to his potential with the…
When NFL training camps kick off, everything is under the microscope, and that is especially true for the Detroit Lions as just about everyone wants to know if this team is as real as predictions expect it to be. Camp is always a fun time of year, but something just feels a little different this…
