Allen Park — Here are some notes and observations from Wednesday’s joint training camp practice between the Detroit Lions and Jacksonville Jaguars.

Josh Dubow | Associated Press It looks like former Detroit Lions head coach Buddy Parker’s long wait for the Pro Football Hall of Fame is nearly at an end. Parker, who coached the Lions to back-to-back NFL titles in the 1950s, was picked as a finalist for the Hall’s class of 2024. Parker was announced Wednesday
Dan Campbell’s plan to “douse” Jameson Williams with reps in the Detroit Lions‘ final two preseason games may have hit a snag. Williams pulled up lame grabbing his right hamstring early in the Lions’ joint practice with the Jacksonville Jaguars on Wednesday. Williams’ injury, which occurred while running a deep route in seven-on-seven drills, was
Allen Park — The Detroit Lions started Wednesday’s joint practice relatively healthy, with just three reserves sitting out the session. But by the end of the day, the team was down four receivers after Jameson Williams pulled up on a deep route clutching his right hamstring and Amon-Ra St. Brown exited after getting his right
If it comes to pass that one day, perhaps in the near future or perhaps awhile a longer, Jameson Williams becomes the kind of elite receiver the Detroit Lions envisioned when they moved up in the NFL draft to select him 12th overall last year, there will be one significant reason it happens. It’s a
The Detroit Lions open their second set of joint practices Wednesday in Allen Park against the Jacksonville Jaguars, and Lions coach Dan Campbell said they will look similar to the first with one small adjustment. “There’s going to be more reps with ones,” Campbell said. “We’ll have more than we had with the Giants last
Detroit Lions running back David Montgomery and his girlfriend are facing a civil lawsuit after their pit bull allegedly attacked another dog in Grosse Pointe Shores this spring. Mark and Dana Owen filed suit against Montgomery and his longtime girlfriend, Tatum Causey, in Michigan’s Third Judicial Circuit Court last month, according to the court’s online
Allen Park — Pressure and attention are two different things. Jameson Williams doesn’t feel pressure. “I was born for this,” he told reporters Monday. But he does, in fact, feel the attention, the eyes — the insatiable curiosity about this blazing receiver with the potential to do something amazing at any time, any place. He
Allen Park — For so long, it’s been about taking baby steps for Detroit Lions defensive tackle Levi Onwuzurike. But Friday night was more of a giant leap forward. Sure, it was only a preseason contest, but it was the first game action Onwuzurike has seen in more than 19 months, since the regular-season finale
Ten years into an NFL career that’s been better than anything he could have imagined, Teddy Bridgewater is more concerned with “life trophies” than real ones. The Lions signed Bridgewater to be their backup quarterback not just because he was one of the top veterans on the market this offseason, but because they wanted him
Teddy Bridgewater wasn’t perfect in his practice debut with the Detroit Lions on Monday, and yet he provided the perfect example of why the team invested so much in him to be Jared Goff’s backup. The highly touted quarterback looked sure of himself while going through drills. But in the brief action he saw during
Allen Park — Trevor Nowaske is hoping to make his dreams of becoming an NFL player a reality this year with the Detroit Lions. Nowaske, an undrafted rookie from Saginaw Valley State and native of Canton, was surrounded by friends and family Friday night for the Lions’ preseason opener against the New York Giants at
Allen Park — Here are some notes and observations from Monday’s Detroit Lions training camp practice. ▶ According to coach Dan Campbell, the Lions had a bit of a bug making its way through the roster, sidelining a small group of players. At the top of that list was starting cornerback Cam Sutton, who was replaced on
Allen Park — Each of the three linebackers vying for a starting job next to Alex Anzalone continued to trend upward in Friday night’s preseason game against the New York Giants, but Detroit Lions rookie Jack Campbell may have had the best preseason debut of any defensive rookie in the league. That’s where things sit
When we look back on the 2023 NFL draft a year from now, there’s a good chance we will be talking about Brian Branch as one of the draft’s biggest steals. The Detroit Lions took Branch with their fourth pick of the draft, No. 45 overall in the second round, and have wasted little time
Allen Park — Teddy Bridgewater didn’t do much during his first practice in a Detroit Lions uniform on Monday, but what he plans to do once he gets acclimated should carry far more value than the $3 million the team is paying him to be Jared Goff’s backup this season. Bridgewater’s obvious value is as
Aidan Hutchinson is dealing with an ankle injury and will not practice Monday, Detroit Lions coach Dan Campbell said. Hutchinson, who led the Lions with 9.5 sacks last season, was one of 29 Lions who did not play in last week’s preseason-opening win over the New York Giants. The second-year defensive end took part in
Adrian Martinez led the Detroit Lions on a game-winning drive in Friday’s preseason-opening, 21-16, win over the New York Giants. He completed both of his passes on the drive, scrambled for a key third-and-7 conversion and scored on a 1-yard run. Martinez earned the second-highest Pro Football Focus grade of any Lions offensive player for
Dylan Drummond lined up in the slot on the left side of the Detroit Lions‘ formation on Friday night, and he recognized the coverage. One of the things that makes Drummond so special is his ability to pick up plays, understand schemes and read defenses. A cornerback was lined up against him, so the wide
