Last year during the NFL Trade Deadline, the Detroit Lions made somewhat of a surprising move by trading for Donovan Peoples-Jones. The Lions gave up a 6th round pick in the 2025 NFL Draft to acquire him from the Cleveland Browns. Certainly, it was a roll of the dice for a receiver who had recorded

It’s Sunday afternoon as I’m writing this. The Detroit Lions finished their preseason with a nice comeback win over the Pittsburgh Steelers about 24 hours ago. That final exhibition game was the last chance for many players to either validate a spot on the Lions’ 53-man roster or play their way more onto the bubble.

The Detroit Lions have one of the best fanbases in the entire NFL. They even flock to a preseason game in which the quarterbacks were Hendon Hooker and Jake Fromm. 51,976 members of the Lions’ following made the trip to Ford Field for Detroit’s preseason finale against the Pittsburgh Steelers, a game won by the

DJ Reader, who has yet to practice this preseason, was removed from the PUP (physically unable to perform) list today which allows him to start the individual drills that Dan Campbell forecasted last week. The Lions did have the option of keeping him on the PUP list into the regular season which would have made

One of the mysteries of the Detroit Lions’ 53-man roster construction was solved on Sunday. The Lions announced that veteran defensive tackle DJ Reader has been activated from the physically-unable-to-perform (PUP) list. Reader joins the active roster now that he’s cleared his physical. The 30-year-old nose tackle has been sidelined all offseason as he recovers

The NFL gets very busy this week, with all 32 teams trimming their rosters from a maximum of 90 for the preseason down to 53 players by Tuesday, August 27th at 4 p.m. ET. Some teams have already started their cuts, notably the Cincinnati Bengals, after their final preseason games. All the players flooding the

Brodric Martin, the Lions 3rd round pick in 2023, hurt his right knee late in the 3rd quarter of the final preseason game vs the Steelers. This is an important preseason for Martin who the Lions hope can take a 2nd year leap in productivity. The injury video is obscured, but you can see Martin

The final exhibition game against the Pittsburgh Steelers was the only home preseason date on the Detroit Lions calendar. A packed Ford Field full of fans watched as the team tried to sort out the bottom of the depth chart and potential roster decisions with the 53-man deadline looming on Tuesday afternoon. Some players rose

Jake Fromm wasn’t supposed to play in the Detroit Lions preseason game against the Pittsburgh Steelers. Head coach Dan Campbell said as much in his final press conference of the week. Heck, Fromm didn’t take a single snap in either practice leading into the game. Brought in as a camp arm to provide reps while

As the Lions wrap the preseason and move onto the difficult task of whittling the roster down from 90 to 53 plays by Tuesday afternoon, one of the biggest decisions involves the fate of EDGE James Houston. Based on what head coach Dan Campbell said after the Lions’ preseason win over the Pittsburgh Steelers, it’s

Saturday’s preseason finale against the Pittsburgh Steelers was a golden opportunity for Lions quarterback Hendon Hooker to show he was ready to be the team’s backup behind Jared Goff. Getting the start against a Steelers defense that played several starters in the first couple of drives was a great chance for No. 2 to prove

The final preseason game is all about sorting out the Detroit Lions depth. Very few of the players who will ever matter in a regular season game–unless necessitated by injury–will play in the Lions exhibition finale against the Pittsburgh Steelers. For those battling for the bottom of the roster spots, practice squad berths or auditioning

There’s still one more preseason game to get through for the Detroit Lions, but the look ahead to Week 1 is looking a little better now. When the Lions host the Los Angeles Rams in Week 1, the Rams will be without their starting left tackle. The NFL has suspended Rams tackle Alaric Jackson for

The first two seasons with the Detroit Lions weren’t as successful as hoped for defensive end Josh Paschal. The 2022 second-round pick from Kentucky has recorded just three sacks in 22 career games. Injuries played an unfortunate role in Paschal’s slow start. But entering his third year, Paschal has also battled being a “tweener” at

The end of the exhibition season comes on Saturday when the Detroit Lions host the Pittsburgh Steelers. For many players, it will be the end of their time in Detroit–at least on the active roster. All teams are required to trim the roster from 90 to 53 by Tuesday afternoon. It’s pretty straightforward to predict

When Lions reserve QB Hendon Hooker was sidelined with a concussion after Detroit’s first preseason game, the team desperately needed another quarterback to throw in practice. The Lions found that man in Jake Fromm, and signed the 2020 fifth-round pick out of Georgia to a one-year, minimum salary contract. In short, Fromm was brought in
