The Detroit Lions appear poised to overcome some more injury-related adversity in the team’s Week 10 trip to Houston.

Sunday night in Week 10 features a battle of two first-place teams, with the Houston Texans hosting the Detroit Lions. Both franchises are gunning for unprecedented postseason success in their respective histories as two of the teams that have never been to the Super Bowl. The Lions are favored, as they should be. Injuries have
The Detroit Lions are set to travel to Houston for a Sunday night showdown with the Texans. They may also end up facing a Texans team that won’t have one of their star defensive linemen. Second-year edge rusher Will Anderson missed his second straight day of practice with an ankle injury. Anderson injured his ankle
Detroit Lions quarterback Jared Goff isn’t just hitting the mark this season. He’s shattering it. Goff leads the NFL in completion percentage (74.9%) through his first eight games. If he maintains this pace, he will break the record former New Orleans Saints QB and future Hall of Famer Drew Brees set in 2018 (74.4% in
The Detroit Lions secondary is having a tremendous season in 2024, and it’s getting the recognition it deserves. After a tough 2023, the defensive backs have played a pivotal role in the Lions’ rise to one of the NFL’s top teams. Their impact is now being celebrated off the field, with their faces featured on
The fantasy football regular season is quickly drawing to a close, and one lineup decision could make all the difference in whether your team reaches the playoffs. With that in mind, here’s what to do about several flex options, streaming candidates and other players you could be on the fence about plugging into your starting
When new Lions defensive Za’Darius Smith makes his debut in Detroit’s Week 10 game in Houston on Sunday night, the veteran will be wearing his familiar jersey number. Smith, acquired in a trade on Tuesday from the Cleveland Browns, is listed on the Lions’ official roster as No. 99. That number wasn’t immediately available when
Williams, 23, signed with the Lions as an undrafted free agent out of Illinois following the 2024 draft. He was in the first year of a three-year, $2.845 million contract with a base salary of $795k for 2024. In 2024, Williams has appeared in two games for the Lions and recorded two receptions on three
In an unexpected move after Thursday’s practice session ahead of Week 10, the Detroit Lions announced they have waived rookie wide receiver Isaiah Williams. Williams made the team as an undrafted free agent from Illinois and had seen brief action in two games on offense and special teams, including a nice kick return in the
The Detroit Lions head to the final practice ahead of the team’s Week 10 trip to Houston in relatively good health. However, Thursday’s practice participation report did feature one new addition after a Wednesday session that saw two defensive contributors sit out with injury. Linebackers Malcolm Rodriguez and Jalen Reeves-Maybin are still sidelined, and neither
I’ve been talking about it since Tuesday, while I think the Lions did an excellent job trading for Za’Darius Smith and he was the best possible route that they could go, but this team still needs some more depth on the edge. One guy that’s been pretty successful in the NFL has just become available
Two teams with expectations beyond regular-season statements square off Sunday night when the Detroit Lions visit the Houston Texans. The Lions (7-1) own the best record in the NFC and stand second overall in the NFL behind only the unbeaten Kansas City Chiefs. Houston (6-3) shares the fourth-best mark in the AFC with the Ravens
Last season, one of the Achilles heels for the Lions was at the cornerback position. They clearly knew it; hence them drafting two corners to start the draft (Terrion Arnold, Ennis Rakestraw) and signing Carlton Davis in free agency. So far, that investment has paid off. Arnold and Davis, in particular, are currently two of
Personally, I’ve never once believed some of the things that I know other writers or Detroit Lions fans believe when it comes to Lions GM Brad Holmes. I totally get why people believe that they have Holmes figured out because during his time here, he’s largely showed us one way of acquiring players and that’s
The wet Lambeau field probably aided the Lions to a healthy game by slowing everybody down and allowing feet to slip out of dangerous situations like with Jahmyr Gibbs. There were some minor concerns coming out of the game, but the only one that landed on the Wednesday report is Jalen Reeves-Maybin. Lots of other
The Detroit Lions have some of the best comradery and team chemistry of any roster in the National Football League. We got a great example of that on Wednesday evening, the whole Lions secondary was rocking a custom shirt with Brian Branch on it to honor him. The shirt was custom made by Branch and
The Detroit Lions filled out all the vacancies on the team’s practice squad ahead of Wednesday’s practice session in Allen Park. With three spots open, the Lions brought back two familiar names and one new player–who has ties to this week’s opponent, the Houston Texans. As expected, the Lions re-signed defensive tackle Chris Smith and
Detroit’s practice squad now includes: LB Mitchell Agude C Kingsley Eguakun QB Jake Fromm RB Jermar Jefferson T Jamarco Jones WR Tom Kennedy TE James Mitchell DL Isaac Ukwu TE Shane Zylstra WR Donovan Peoples-Jones DB Morice Norris DE Al-Quadin Muhammad DB Erick Hallett LB Abraham Beauplan DL Chris Smith LB Ezekiel Turner Turner, 28,
Jameson Williams is back and ready to roll for the Detroit Lions. The wideout has completed his two-game suspension for a violation of the NFL’s performance-enhancing substances rules and is ready to play in Sunday’s Week 10 matchup in Houston against the Texans. Wednesday’s practice was just a walk-through session closed to the media, but
