Prior to the start of training camp, I compiled a list of 10 key Lions dealing with offseason medical issues. The health of these players will help determine whether this team can achieve their lofty, Super Bowl aspirations. Now that camp is over, 3 preseason games are in the books, and the 53-man roster is

The Detroit Lions are rolling into Week 1 with just four wide receivers on the active 53-man roster. Of the foursome, only Jameson Williams stands above 6-foot-1 and only Amon-Ra St. Brown tops 190 on the weight scale. The Lions are very small at wideout, no doubt about it. To that end, the Lions added

The Detroit Lions had one open spot on the practice squad after releasing veteran safety CJ Moore earlier on Thursday. They fill the spot with another safety. The Lions announced they have signed Erick Hallett to the final spot on the practice squad. Hallett, 24, was a sixth-round pick by the Jacksonville Jaguars in the

While none of the players the Detroit Lions waived this week ahead of Tuesday’s roster deadline were claimed by another team, one of the undrafted rookies cut by the team has found a new home. Offensive lineman Bryan Hudson has agreed to sign with the New England Patriots on that team’s practice squad. Per Patriots

As has been the expectation for weeks, the Detroit Lions have placed defensive lineman John Cominsky on the injured reserve list. Cominsky tore a tendon in his knee during the early portion of training camp and is expected to miss most of the season. The Lions held off on placing Cominsky on I.R. until after

Detroit Lions GM Brad Holmes left no doubt about what he thinks of the squad he and his front office team and coaching staff have assembled. Holmes laid it out there in his Thursday morning press conference. Asked about his expectations for the coming season, Holmes quickly answered, “My expectations? Win the Super Bowl.” Not

By now, everyone knows how aggressive the Detroit Lions and head coach Dan Campbell are during games. Look no further than their fourth-down decisions during the NFC Championship Game against the San Francisco 49ers back in January. But we didn’t always have a true understanding of why they are so aggressive. At least until now

Former Lions linebacker Mathieu Betts is heading back to the Canadian Football League after spending the offseason with Detroit. Betts is signing with the BC Lions for the remaining seven games of the CFL season after being let go by the Lions and going unclaimed on waivers. Betts played for BC in 2022 and 2023.

Scott Daly was one of the veteran roster cuts by the Detroit Lions ahead of Tuesday’s 53-man roster deadline. It didn’t take long for Daly to find his next team. Daly, the Lions regular long snapper for the past three seasons, quickly signed with the rival Chicago Bears. The 30-year-old Daly is a Chicago-area native

Like all NFL teams, the Detroit Lions get to create a 16-person practice squad as soon as the initial waiver claims from the roster cutdowns are processed at 12 p.m ET on Wednesday, August 28th. Of those 16 players, six can be veterans who have at least four years of NFL service. Those would be

The NFL’s waiver claim process was completed at 12 p.m. ET on August 28th, a day after the initial 53-man roster cutdowns completed. This is a chance for teams to claim other players with less than four years of NFL service who were waived in the past days. The Detroit Lions landed one player on

When the Detroit Lions announced their 53-man roster, it was a bit surprising that they only had 4 wide receivers on the roster. Those receivers are Amon-Ra St. Brown, Isaiah Williams, Kalif Raymond and Jameson Williams. This makes it likely that they’ll add another receiver at some point. Especially since the Lions announced their roster

Dan Skipper, the NFL’s “most eligible” offensive lineman, has made the initial 53-man roster. He was not one of the 2 players (Moseley, Martin) placed on the “designated-to-return” injured reserve list. Note that rosters are subject to change and he could be placed on I.R. at any time. Skipper is currently recovering from an injury

All summer long, we’ve heard about how the Detroit Lions have been looking for a “big-bodied” wide receiver. They tried to make it work with Donovan Peoples-Jones but that didn’t pan out and he was released. Now, the Lions are down to three wide receivers with experience on their roster. Those three receivers are Amon-Ra

The initial 53-man roster for the 2024 Detroit Lions was established on Tuesday. It took a little time after the 4 p.m. ET deadline before the Lions released the official roster, and the transactions the team posted left the roster at just 52. Now that the initial roster is out there, a few things stand

The Detroit Lions left an extra spot on the initial 53-man roster, leaving just 52 players after the 4 p.m. cutdown. We now know why. A report out of Denver indicates the Lions ate signing veteran wide receiver Tim Patrick. The 30-year-old Patrick was released by the Broncos ahead of the cutdown. Because he is

We made it to the initial Detroit Lions 53-man roster. After the official transactions from the Lions got processed through, the team technically only has 52 players on it. That’s one of a handful of unexpected developments from Detroit here. That will get remedied in the coming hours. In the meantime, here is the initial

We have our first true stunner from the Lions at the roster cutdown period. Reports indicate the Lions are releasing backup quarterback Mate Sudfeld. Source: The #Lions are releasing QB Nate Sudfeld, who has spent plenty of time as No. 2 QB. Now, it appears it’s Hendon Hooker who has won the job. Sudfeld has

The Detroit Lions held a walkthrough practice on Sunday, a day after the home preseason win over the Pittsburgh Steelers. It was a low-key session, but one that saw a lot of the walking wounded return to action for Detroit. Head coach Dan Campbell revealed a very positive participation report for the Sunday session during

The Detroit Lions must reduce the roster down to the 53-man limit before the deadline at 4 p.m. on Tuesday, August 27th. It’s a tough time with a quick turnaround from the final preseason game. The Lions haven’t made any official transactions yet, but several moves are already reported as of Monday evening. Most notable
