After a resurgent 2021 season, Lions safety Tracy Walker showed his commitment to staying in Detroit when he hit free agency. The new regime was a breathe of fresh air for Detroit Lions safety Tracy Walker in 2021. He led the team in tackles (108), and capped the campaign by winning NFC Defensive Player of

The Detroit Lions made another roster move on Wednesday, signing USFL wide receiver Maurice Alexander and waiving injured running back Greg Bell. The Detroit Lions continued to move pieces through the back end of the roster spots before Wednesday’s training camp practice. They have signed wide receiver Maurice Alexander, and waived injured running back Greg

It’s not a huge surprise, but Lions rookie wide receiver Jameson Williams is reportedly ‘likely’ to stay on the NFI list into the regular season. As he works his way back from a torn ACL in last season’s national title game, now almost seven months out from the injury, the status of Lions’ rookie wide

If the Detroit Lions are not satisfied with their backup quarterback situation, now or between now and Week 1, these five signal callers could be on their radar. The Detroit Lions have committed to Jared Goff as their starting quarterback for this season. There’s nothing per se wrong with that, but simply re-signing Tim Boyle

During Tuesday’s practice, Lions wide receiver Quintez Cephus suffered what looked to be a fairly serious leg injury. With the addition of pads and contact to NFL training camp practices in recent days comes naturally increased likelihood of injuries with the upped intensity. During Day 2 with pads on at Detroit Lions training camp Tuesday,

Malcolm Rodriguez has made a good impression from the start, and he seems set to actually win a starting job in the Lions’ linebacking corps during training camp. If he was a little bigger, Malcolm Rodriguez would have surely been no worse than a Day 2 pick in April’s draft. But size concerns led to

The Detroit Lions made an interesting roster addition on Monday, signing former Chargers running back Justin Jackson. The Detroit Lions‘ first day in pads at training camp was followed by a roster move. Per the team’s announcement, rookie undrafted wide receiver Corey Sutton was placed on the reserve/retired list Monday, and free agent running back

The Lions had no official comment to former offensive tackle Tyrell Crosby’s harsh claims, but head coach Dan Campbell didn’t totally dodge the question when asked on Monday. Over the weekend, Dave Birkett of the Detroit Free Press (subscription required) had a story from former Lions offensive tackle Tyrell Crosby that had some harsh words

Lions rookie cornerback Chase Lucas is a bit of a longshot to earn a roster spot, but a strong start to training camp may be changing that conversation. When the Detroit Lions took Chase Lucas with their final pick of April’s draft, with five college seasons due to COVID impacting the 2020 campaign and buying

Josh Reynolds is easy to overlook in the Lions’ receiving corps, but head coach Dan Campbell is certainly very bullish about him right now. When the Tennessee Titans waived him in the middle of last season, Josh Reynolds was an ideal fit for the Detroit Lions. They needed something (anything) at wide receiver, and he

Tyrell Crosby had an odd-looking situation last year, and now he has gone public to rip the Detroit Lions’ current regime. Tyrell Crosby started 18 of the 38 games he played for the Detroit Lions from 2018-2020, mostly at right tackle. The drafting of Penei Sewell in the 2021 draft reportedly put him on the

HBO’s has released the first trailer for “Hard Knocks” featuring the Detroit Lions.

Heading into his second season, Lions wide receiver Amon-Ra St. Brown certainly is not lacking confidence. After a closing stretch of his rookie season that saw him be one of the most productive receivers in the NFL, the general consensus is Amon-Ra St. Brown is in line for a decline in production this year. Based

In the ESPN 10-team mock draft, published Friday, D’Andre Swift led five Detroit Lions who were selected. Some of ESPN’s fantasy football staff assembled for a 10-team 0.5-point, superflex PPR mock draft, published on Friday. Over 17 rounds, with kickers and team defenses used, five Detroit Lions were selected. So where did the handful of

The Detroit Lions will face a solid list of good pass rushers this year, but it seems like they’ll “miss” facing Chase Young in Week 2. During his Defensive Rookie of the Year campaign in 2020, the Detroit Lions faced Washington defensive end Chase Young and held him without a sack in a 30-27 victory.

It’s too easy to see as a red flag, but the Lions can and should manage D’Andre Swift’s workload during training camp. Detroit Lions running back D’Andre Swift topped 1,000 yards from scrimmage last year, despite missing essentially five games and seeing limited work in the two he came back for to end the season.

T.J. Hockenson will continue to be a big part of the Lions’ offense, but could his role evolve this year? Coming off back-to-back 60-catch seasons, despite missing the final five games last season,  tight end T.J. Hockenson will be a prominent part of the Lions’ offense this year and until further notice as he and
