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…

Last week, The Athletic reported that the Detroit Lions were among four different teams interested in former first-round quarterback Trey Lance. “The Buffalo Bills and the Baltimore Ravens are two teams that had conversations with San Francisco about a possible trade for Trey Lance,” Dianna Russini tweeted last Saturday. “In the NFC, the Detroit Lions…
The practice squad is finalized for now, and we are one step closer to the Detroit Lions making their 2023 debut against the Super Bowl Champion Kansas City Chiefs. And while the Lions’ 2023 roster is a far cry from where they were around this time in 2021, we know depth is essential in the…
On Tuesday, the Detroit Lions cut their roster down from 90 to 53 players. Then afterward, they made some other roster moves due to injuries and now the dust has settled and the roster is finalized. Some good players weren’t able to make the final cut, but that just shows where this team is now:…
The Detroit Lions started building their 2023 initial practice squad on Wednesday, announcing 10 of the 17 players they are allowed to roster. NFL rules allow teams to have a 16-player practice squad, but because of the Lions involvement in the NFL’s International Player Pathway program, they are allowed an extra spot.
While most of the world may seem like they’re all aboard the Detroit Lions hype train, Amon-Ra St. Brown knows there are still some doubters out there. On the St. Brown Brothers Show over at The 33rd Team, Equanimeous asked his brother what the vibe is like in the Lions locker room. Amon-Ra said frankly…
The Detroit Lions are bringing back a familiar face at quarterback. According to NFL Network’s Tom Pelissero, the Lions are signing David Blough to their practice squad. Blough had served as the team’s reserve quarterback for three years (2019-21). Last year, he made the initial 53-man roster only to be released when the Lions added…
The Minnesota Vikings have given tight end T.J. Hockenson a record-breaking deal that should lock up the former Detroit Lions first-round pick for the next several years. According to ESPN’s Adam Schefter, it’s a four-year, $68.5 million extension. That breaks the previous record of average per year ($17.125 million) and guaranteed money ($42.5 million) for…
According to Jordan Schultz, the Detroit Lions are signing wide receiver Daurice Fountain to their practice squad—the 12th reported member of the team’s supplemental roster. Fountain was a fifth-round pick for the Indianapolis Colts back in 2018, but would end up only making six game appearances in his three years with the team. From there,…
We’re officially just a week away from the Detroit Lions’ 2023 season opener. Seven days from now, the Lions will have the ultimate litmus test to see whether they have a chance to live up to the unprecedented hype.

The Detroit Lions have finally announced their 53-man roster, and as always there were some surprises. A few fun names missed the cut, a couple position groups ended up a bit larger or smaller than projected, and the coaching staff showed that it evaluates its players a little differently than those on the outside.
The Detroit Lions continue to build out their 16-man practice squad for the 2023 season. While many of the additions are likely to be internal signings from players they just cut, there have already been two notable additions from outside their training camp squad. The Lions are signing former Jets running back Zonovan Knight (per…
On Tuesday evening, the Detroit Lions trimmed their roster to 53 players. It was an arduous process and one that yielded some surprises along the way. Obviously, the Lions are far from done tinkering their roster—that process never really ends—but on Tuesday night, myself, Erik Schlitt and Ryan Mathews broke down the initial moves the…
The Detroit Lions truly have turned a page. While we’re fretting over which players are inside or outside of the roster, it’s a far cry from where this fan base was when Brad Holmes and Dan Campbell took over. There were numerous starting positions with question marks as large as those at roster spots 50-53…
After a weekend of tough cuts and complicated roster decisions, the Detroit Lions have established their initial 53-man roster for the 2023 season. I say “initial” 53-man roster, because over the next few days, there are likely to be a few additional moves that will move players on and off the roster that you see…
As the final Detroit Lions roster cutdowns emerge, ESPN’s Jeremy Fowler dropped the biggest surprise thus far. Per Fowler, the Lions are waiving undrafted rookie cornerback Starling Thomas V. Thomas quickly found himself repping with the second-team defense in training camp and holding his own. He was also predominantly used all over the place on…
While the Detroit Lions roster has gotten much better over the past two years, one thing that has eluded them is a consistent, reliable kicker. And according to The Athletic’s Dianna Russini, the Lions are in the market for yet another one. Per Russini, the Lions are among five different teams currently making calls looking…

However, on Monday evening, we got a little clarity. According to NFL Network’s Mike Garafolo, the Lions are waiving cornerback…
According to Dave Birkett of the Detroit Free Press, the Detroit Lions are waiving undrafted rookie quarterback Adrian Martinez. With Nate Sudfeld believed to have suffered a torn ACL and likely headed to injured reserve, and rookie third-round pick Hendon Hooker expected to stay on the team’s Non-Football Injury list for at least the first…
