Associated Press The NFL indefinitely suspended Denver Broncos defensive end Eyioma Uwazurike on Monday for betting on league games during the 2022 season.

Allen Park — Here are some notes and observations from Monday’s Detroit Lions’ training camp practice. ▶ There’s a difference between saying you’re 100% and actually being able to perform at your highest level, but safety Tracy Walker is making a strong case he’s legitimately back to his old self, less than 10 months after suffering

Allen Park — The Lions arguably didn’t need additional depth at running back, but that didn’t stop them from re-signing Justin Jackson just before the start of training camp. Coach Dan Campbell said a re-evaluation of the position during the team’s offseason break fueled the addition. “Look, we’re fired up to have him back,” Campbell

Allen Park — C.J. Gardner-Johnson had to be carted off the field during Monday’s training camp practice after suffering a leg injury, but early indications are the Detroit Lions defensive back has avoided a significant injury.

Gardner-Johnson was

Allen Park — The Lions do find themselves at a new station in life these days. But, as Dan Campbell reminded everyone Sunday, life is the train, not the station. And a year after the Lions’ head coach famously quoted Metallica to kick off a season of “Hard Knocks” in Detroit, telling his players, “If

Allen Park — The first surprising cut of training camp happened two days before the Detroit Lions’ veterans reported, when the team chose to part ways with veteran kicker Michael Badgley. That move left Riley Patterson and Parker Romo to compete for a job that’s been a revolving door since Matt Prater departed in free

Allen Park — Here are some notes and observations from Sunday’s training camp practice. ▶ With the pads coming on for the first time in a few days, the Detroit Lions eased into a routine on the first day with a crisp practice that consisted of only a few team segments and no situational work.

Allen Park — In the early stages of the team’s rebuild, a notable component of the Detroit Lions’ roster-building strategy was bringing in players who had something to prove, a chip on the shoulder that often came from failing to meet expectations at their previous stops. Even though the Lions are rounding the corner into

Allen Park — It was mostly positive news for the Detroit Lions on Sunday as the team opened its training camp, but one player, cornerback Emmanuel Moseley, will start on the physically unable to perform list.

Allen Park — On Saturday, the day veterans reported for training camp, the Detroit Lions re-signed running back and return man Justin Jackson. Jackson, a late addition to the roster last offseason, appeared in 16 games for the Lions in 2022, tallying 42 carries and 12 receptions for 271 yards from scrimmage. His more notable

Professional sports are a transient business these days. Franchises relocate, leaving entire cities in the lurch. Players bolt, too, taking advantage of free agency when they can. Trade deadlines encourage the movement — incentivize it, even — and the business of tanking means veteran players often get shown the door before anybody’s ready for them

Since the dawn of advertising, mascots have been used to sell things. In Michigan, there are beloved totems of sports teams, beverages, restaurant brands and more that have become part of the culture.

Allen Park — We’ve heard it before, but not like this. Not nearly like this. The Lions arguably are the most-discussed team of the NFL offseason, even though they haven’t made the playoffs in seven years. In a blur, they went from sleepy franchise to sleeper pick to betting favorites to win their division. And

The Lions have placed injured rookie quarterback Hendon Hooker on the active/non-football injury (NFI) list ahead of training camp. Hooker, a third-round pick out of Tennessee, is still recovering from a torn ACL suffered against South Carolina on Nov. 19. Being placed on the NFI list means Hooker can be activated at any point during

Then there were two. The Detroit Lions trimmed their kicking competition, just days before the start of training camp, by releasing veteran kicker Michael Badgley on Thursday. Badgley, 27, signed to Detroit’s practice squad in early October after being released by the Chicago Bears and was thought to be the leader in the clubhouse heading

The Detroit Lions have made an acquisition with a lot of upside ahead of training camp. The Lions announced Thursday they’ve traded a conditional sixth-round pick to the New York Jets for wide receiver Denzel Mims and a seventh-rounder in 2025. Mims, 25, was a second-round pick in the 2020 NFL Draft. Reports during the
