For the second time this season, Lions wide receiver Jameson Williams has earned a fine from the NFL for paying homage to a league legend. The first one came when Williams emulated Lions Hall of Famer Calvin Johnson after scoring a touchdown with a dunk on the goal post. Williams earned another in Week 11

One of the byproducts of the Detroit Lions being a Super Bowl contender is that the NFL Draft has quickly become an in-season afterthought for most fans. The potential prospects and draft options aren’t nearly as pertinent when there’s a realistic chance for Detroit to be picking at No. 32 instead of No. 2. Brad

There was a surprising and unfortunate addition to the Detroit Lions injury list for Week 12. After being a full participant all week until Friday, rookie cornerback Ennis Rakestraw was ruled out of Sunday’s game against the Indianapolis Colts with a hamstring injury. It’s a new occurrence of an old injury bug that has bitten

One of the key matchups to watch will be the Lions weakened front-7 who just lost a starting LB vs the Colts weakened offensive line who will be missing three starters. Over the week, the Lions had two new injuries to CB’s, but otherwise the active roster is healthy. The Colts had an upgrade to

The Detroit Lions are the best team in the NFC in 2024. Entering Week 12, the Lions are 9-1, own the best point differential in the league and have become a major draw around the country. The Dallas Cowboys are 3-7, have the third-worst point differential and haven’t been fun to watch outside of wideout

Lions rookie cornerback Terrion Arnold was added to the team’s injury report Thursday with a groin injury. The good news is Arnold did not miss practice because of the injury. He was listed as a limited participant. We’ll certainly know more Friday but this doesn’t sound like a huge concern. Another piece of good news:

During the Detroit Lions’ 52-6 blowout win over the Jacksonville Jaguars in Week 11, fans might have noticed No. 47 in Honolulu Blue racing all over the field on special teams. That was Ezekiel Turner, signed to the active roster after a stint on the Lions’ practice squad. Turner had a very impressive game on

In a minor move at the bottom of the roster, the Detroit Lions made a swap of safeties on the team’s practice squad. On the incoming side, Detroit added Kaevon Merriweather to the practice squad. Erick Hallett has now been released from Detroit. Merriweather has extensive NFL experience on special teams in his two seasons

Jared Goff is in the midst of a fantastic season statistically. The Lions quarterback is putting up incredible numbers across the statistical spectrum. In Detroit’s Week 11 romp over Jacksonville, Goff became the first quarterback in NFL history to post two games with at least 400 passing yards, 4 TDs, and a perfect passer rating.

As the season continues, the Lions defense seems to be getting thinner and thinner amid injuries. The trend continued last week when linebacker Alex Anzalone broke his forearm against the Jaguars; he will be out 6-8 weeks. The Lions now have to fill a hole at linebacker, and Dan Campbell calls upon Malcolm Rodriguez. “Yeah,

In their last game, the Lions lost Alex Anzalone for a few weeks due to a forearm fracture. Fortunately, the Wednesday report offers no other significant injuries coming out of the Jaguars game (see my postgame report for injury videos). While the Colts injury report is short, they are hurting along the offensive line with

Something very unusual happened at the Detroit Lions practice facility in Allen Park on Wednesday. Every single player on the active roster practiced. All 53 players, including freshly activated defensive tackle Brodric Martin, were designated as full participants in Wednesday’s session, which was a walkthrough instead of a full contact practice. Five players did get

The Detroit Lions and Indianapolis Colts feature in a cross-conference NFL clash in Week 12, one that still weighs heavily for both sides. Don’t miss out on your opportunity to check it out live. The Lions (9-1) are fresh off a blowout victory over the Jacksonville Jaguars to tune of a 52-6 final. While Detroit

Brodric Martin is back on the Detroit Lions active roster. The Lions activated the second-year defensive tackle from injured reserve at the end of his return window. Martin has missed the entire season to this point after suffering a knee injury in Detroit’s preseason finale. He was designated to return on October 31st, meaning the

Lions running back Jahmyr Gibbs is fast. Glad we got that out of the way. There’s a reason he’s now known as Sonic with David Montgomery as Knuckles. Thanks to Zebra Technology/Next Gen Stats, we have some actual numbers to prove how fast he is. For example, Gibbs reached a speed of 21.8 miles per

No, it’s not a misprint. The Detroit Lions did indeed place safety Ifeatu Melifonwu on injured reserve on Tuesday. Yes, it’s also true the Lions activated Melifonwu from I.R. on Monday. What gives? Melifonwu is back on I.R. for at least four more weeks with a finger injury. He had previously missed all of the

During the Detroit Lions runaway 52-6 win over the Jacksonville Jaguars, head coach Dan Campbell kept his key starters in the game into the fourth quarter. The outcome had long been decided, but Jared Goff, Penei Sewell, Brian Branch, Alim McNeill and other prominent starters were still out there running wild and free over the

Teddy Bridgewater made an indelible mark on the Detroit Lions in his short time with the team. Detroit’s backup quarterback in the 2023 season was a joyous fountain of sage football wisdom to all around him, from teammates to coaches to reporters. The oft-injured NFL vagabond retired after last season. Now Bridgewater is using that
