Will Lions safety Ifeatu Melifonwu make his 2024 season debut in Week 16 against the Chicago Bears? The oft-injured safety has spent the entire season on the Lions’ injured reserve list, with two separate stints dating back to the beginning of the season. After suffering an ankle/heel injury in the second preseason game, Melifonwu was

Coming off the best season of his career, it looked like Graham Glasgow really found his groove as he returned to Detroit. He played so well last season that the Lions gave him a three-year contract extension worth $20 million dollars, that included $9.5 million guaranteed. Last season, he played almost 1200 snaps (highest in

The Detroit Lions are 12-2 and still in control of their own playoff destiny, both in the NFC North and the entire conference. It can be tough for folks to remember that in the wake of a string of injuries and a very public loss to the Buffalo Bills in Week 15. Penei Sewell wants

Lions head coach Dan Campbell gave injury updates this week and the news wasn’t all that great for defensive end John Cominsky. Cominsky tore his MCL back in July. Initially, there was some hope he would be able to return at some point during the season. Campbell’s words this week, this late in the season,

It’s still not nearly as clean as hoped for, but the Detroit Lions practice participation report for Thursday’s session looks a lot more promising than Wednesday’s first edition. After nine players were idle on the first practice of Week 16, all but three returned in some capacity to Thursday’s practice. Two of the three who

In the last two offseasons, Lions offensive coordinator Ben Johnson has been one of the hottest potential head coaching candidates around the NFL. He’s interviewed for positions with multiple teams, but ultimately has returned to Detroit for a variety of reasons. That might not be the case in 2025. In his weekly press conference, Johnson

The Chicago Bears have a very real problem with pass protection. The Detroit Lions, thanks to injuries, have a problem rushing the passer of late. Something’s got to give when the two square off in Soldier Field on Sunday. Detroit’s pass rush has fallen off since the team lost starters Marcus Davenport, Derrick Barnes and

The Detroit Lions have their sights set on Super Bowl LIX in New Orleans. But if they fall short of that goal, it’s safe to say a good amount of Lions players will be heading to Orlando for the Pro Bowl games on February 2, 2025. A recent roundup of voting updates shows the Lions

Last Sunday was tough for every Detroit Lions player against the Buffalo Bills. They fought and battled but fell behind too many points early in the game and they were unsuccessful in ever taking the lead. For some players, they played through injuries and others ended up getting hurt and now have a long road

The last game vs the Bills was a brutal one for the Lions as three players were placed on IR (Alim McNeill, Carlton Davis, and Khalil Dorsey) with another one pending (David Montgomery). There are still three regular season games left with the valuable #1 seed in play. It will be interesting to watch the

The Lions were left licking their wounds after Sunday’s humbling 48-42 loss to the Buffalo Bills. Head coach Dan Campbell took full responsibility for the loss after the game. To say he is fired up to bounce back from the loss is an understatement. Campbell appeared on 97.1 The Ticket in Detroit Tuesday and went

The Lions were humbled in their 48-42 Week 15 loss to the Buffalo Bills and have now fallen into a three-way tie with the Philadelphia Eagles and Minnesota Vikings for the best record in the NFC at 12-2. The good news for the Lions is they still control the No. 1 seed, holding tiebreakers over

Sunday afternoon was an exhausting one. The matchup between the Detroit Lions and Buffalo Bills featured so much intensity and excitement; it was hard to come down from the emotions of the Lions’ 48-42 home loss. Detroit fought valiantly despite being extremely undermanned on defense and seeing three more defenders suffer serious injuries. Buffalo had

Tuesday is typically the player’s day off for the Detroit Lions at the team’s practice facility. It’s also often the day when player personnel moves get made, and this Tuesday after the Lions loss to the Bills was no exception. As expected, the Lions placed three defensive players on injured reserve. All three were injured

Amidst a series of devastating defensive personnel losses due to injury, the Detroit Lions desperately need some hope. Aidan Hutchinson, one of the first of many Lions defenders lost this season, offered up some of that hope. In an interview with actor (and Lions fan) Taylor Lautner on the podcast Lautner does with his wife

The Lions were humbled in their 48-42 loss to the Buffalo Bills in Week 15. One of the key moments came early in the fourth quarter when head coach Dan Campbell’s aggressive nature bit him. After the Lions went 70 yards in just two minutes to cut the lead to 38-28, Campbell decided to go

The early line for the Detroit Lions and their Week 16 trip to Chicago to play the Bears was delayed due to Chicago’s Monday night matchup with the Minnesota Vikings. After the Vikings marauded the Bears, 30-12, the sportsbooks installed the Lions as big favorites on the road in Chicago. At BetMGM, the Lions are

In desperate need of healthy bodies to fill out an injury-ravaged defense, the Detroit Lions are turning to an old friend. The Lions are signing veteran linebacker Anthony Pittman to the active roster, poaching Pittman from the Jacksonville Jaguars practice squad. Pittman spent the first four years of his NFL career in Detroit, beginning in

The Lions have been dealt blow after blow with injuries in recent weeks, but one injured player could soon be returning to help make a playoff push. Head coach Dan Campbell was asked about the status of safety Ifeatu Melifonwu Monday and if he’ll be back soon. Melifonwu is eligible to return to practice and

Three more Lions defenders will almost certainly land on IR after the Bills game – Alim McNeill, Carlton Davis, and Khalil Dorsey. Unfortunately, all of them are long-term injuries with Davis being the only one with a chance to come back this season. David Montgomery also sustained a more-serious-than-expected knee injury (MCL) that will require
