The latest episode of the Detroit Lions Podcast is now available to watch or stream. This show, recorded live on YouTube on Saturday, sets up the final two weeks for the Lions and all that is going on around them. Among the topics we discussed: Teddy Bridgewater’s return and what it means for the Lions

It wouldn’t be a Lions weekend without some roster moves. With the Lions heading to San Francisco for a Monday night date with the 49ers in Week 17, Detroit added one player to the active 53-man roster and brought another back to the practice squad. Defensive back Morice Norris was signed from the practice squad

We all knew it was coming from the moment the penalty flag flew on the sidelines after Lions WR Jameson Williams and Bears DB Tyrique Stevenson started jawing at one another. Sure enough, Williams was indeed fined by the NFL for the taunting foul along the sidelines in Detroit’s Week 16 win over the Chicago

The Lions may be facing off Monday night against the only team with worse injury woes than them this year. The bad injury situation exacerbated for the 49ers during the week with multiple downgrades – Colton McKivitz, Charvarius Ward, and Ji’Ayir Brown. Two of those are starting secondary players which would hamper the 49er pass

The 2024 Detroit Lions have their sights set on clinching the No. 1 seed in the NFC (a win over the 49ers and a Vikings loss against the Packers would secure the top seed this week) as well as a trip to New Orleans for Super Bowl LIX. But behind the scenes, the Lions are

Ben Johnson opened up the bag of tricks once again in the Detroit Lions Week 16 win over the Chicago Bears. The “stumblerooski” worked like a charm, with Jared Goff hitting Sam LaPorta for a touchdown pass after Goff and RB Jahmyr Gibbs feigned a fumbled handoff exchange. In his weekly press briefing, the Lions

Heading into the Week 17 matchup with the San Francisco 49ers, the Detroit Lions have been dealing with major injury issues across the defense–notably on the line. The 49ers have also been devastated by injuries all season, too. For Monday night’s game, the focus for the 49ers injuries is the offensive line. As is the

After missing practice Thursday with an illness, rookie cornerback Terrion Arnold returned to practice Friday. Arnold was listed as a limited participant, but certainly an upgrade from Thursday and trending towards playing Monday against the 49ers. The rest of Friday’s injury report was status quo from Thursday. Running back David Montgomery remains out with a

It’s been a long time coming but last Sunday against the Chicago Bears, the Detroit Lions finally saw defensive back Ifeatu Melifonwu return to the field. Fortunately for the Melifonwu and the Lions, he didn’t disappoint with his performance either. One season ago, the Lions saw Melifonwu have the best season of his career. He

With their success in the regular season, the draft is not what most Lion’s fans are looking forward to as the postseason looms. That being said, Detroit will have the opportunity to continue to load their star-studded lineup in the draft through their first-round pick. The closer it gets, many mock drafts have started predicting

For the Detroit Lions, there were no major surprises on the initial report which is welcome news. This week, the team is expecting to be gaining health with the return of Graham Glasgow as well as the imminent returns of Kalif Raymond and Jalen Reeves-Maybin. The only team more injury-ridden than the Lions this year

Teddy Bridgewater is officially back with the Detroit Lions. The team signed the quarterback out of retirement and added Bridgewater to the active 53-man roster on Thursday. The veteran was at practice on Thursday before the signing was even made officially public. Bridgewater rejoins the Lions after retiring following the 2023 season. He had been

Excitement pulsated out of Detroit Lions practice on Thursday with the return of veteran quarterback Teddy Bridgewater. The retired backup to Jared Goff was back in the building and once again part of the Lions, taking reps in practice just as the word of his rejoining the team filtered out. Head coach Dan Campbell praised

Another injured Lions player is preparing to return to action soon. The Lions are starting the 21-day return window from injured reserve for wide receiver and return man Kalif Raymond. Head coach Dan Campbell revealed that Raymond is starting to practice and will be activated once he’s ready. “We’re going to start Kalif’s clock,” Campbell

Teddy Bridgewater just couldn’t stay away from Detroit. The Lions’ backup quarterback in 2023 has temporarily ended his retirement and will rejoin the Lions for the postseason push. Bridgewater stepped away from the NFL to become the head coach of his high school alma mater, Miami Northwestern. The 32-year-old led Northwestern to the Florida state

One of the staples of the Detroit Lions offense under coordinator Ben Johnson and with quarterback Jared Goff has been the use of the play-action pass. Simply put, nobody does it better. Sunday’s Week 16 win in Chicago was the latest example of Goff’s play-action prowess. Per Zebra Technologies, the force behind NFL Next Gen

David Long’s time with the Detroit Lions has come to a complete end. A day after the Lions released the veteran linebacker, Long was claimed off waivers by the Tennessee Titans. Long played his first four seasons with the Titans, from 2019-2022. The Lions poached Long from the Miami Dolphins earlier this year. He played

The Lions had no trouble bouncing back from their Week 15 loss to the Buffalo Bills by easily taking care of the Chicago Bears in Week 16 to move to 13-2 and remain in control for the No. 1 seed in the NFC playoffs. With the Philadelphia Eagles losing in Week 16, the Lions saw

Tis the season to be jolly, especially if you’re a Detroit Lions fan. It’s been a season of good tidings and great joy around the Motor City, with the 13-2 Lions in charge of their own playoff destiny with two weeks to play. Whether you believe in Santa Claus or say Bah Humbug to the

In a move that indicates the team is getting a healthy return to the defensive lineup, the Detroit Lions released veteran linebacker David Long on Tuesday. Long, 28, spent five weeks with the Lions after coming from the Miami Dolphins. The off-ball backer started one game, the Thanksgiving win over the Bears, and saw action
