Wednesday morning’s practice session at the Meijer Training Facility in Allen Park was originally scheduled to be a full scrimmage, likely the last one of training camp. Alas, a rash of injuries across the Lions roster convinced head coach Dan Campbell to call off the scrimmage, strip off the full pads and just hold a

For a good portion of Lions training camp, the Detroit defense has been good at making plays and stymying the high-powrred offense. After a troubling few years where Aaron Glenn’s unit struggled to stop vastly interior offenses to the one it squares off against in practice, the rise of the defense is a very welcome

Lions fans had a bit of a scare earlier this week with the news that running back Jahmyr Gibbs suffered a hamstring injury. Those worries seem to be eased up Wednesday after head coach Dan Campbell sounded positive regarding the injury. “I think we’re going to be fine here,” Campbell said. “So I think we’ll

Lions quarterback Hendon Hooker suffered a concussion in the team’s preseason opener against the New York Giants. After a dicey initial prognosis from head coach Dan Campbell about Hooker’s availability for Saturday’s preseason matchup in Kansas City, it now appears Hooker could play. In an appearance on 97.1 The Ticket in Detroit, Campbell indicated that

It’s been a harrowing 24 hours for Detroit Lions fans. On Monday night, both of the Lions’ first two draft picks, cornerbacks Terrion Arnold and Ennis Rakestraw, left the evening practice session with injuries. Arnold suffered a chest injury, while Rakestraw gingerly walked off with an ankle issue. Fears ran high, but the latest updates

Injuries have claimed another spot on the Detroit Lions roster, and the team went out and filled it with a player who can help cover injury issues at a different spot. First, the bad news. Undrafted rookie linebacker DaRon Gilbert, a Detroit native, has been waived with injury designation. Gilbert was injured in the preseason

Monday night’s Detroit Lions practice brought a few injuries, one of which happened to first-round rookie cornerback Terrion Arnold. Early in the session, Arnold surged at WR Amon-Ra St. Brown to make a stop but took the worse of the collision. Grabbing at his upper chest, Arnold slowly walked off the field with trainers. He

It’s been a rough week on the injury front for the Detroit Lions, with nearly a dozen players sidelined with various ailments. The Lions are not alone in fighting the injury bug around the league and within the NFC North division. In Minnesota, the Vikings will be without its most prominent rookie to start the

Back in 2020, Brandon Joseph exploded onto the scene for the Northwestern Wildcats. He was a redshirt freshman and earned First-Team All-American honors and was named Big Ten Freshman of the Year. He finished 2020 with 52 total tackles, two pass deflections and six interceptions. Despite another strong season in 2021 with 80 total tackles

The Lions waived/injured wide receiver Antoine Green Monday following the concussion he suffered during last week’s preseason game against the New York Giants.

The Lions held their first evening practice of the offseason, kicking off the session at 6 p.m. in front of a full house of fans. Nearly every practice over the last couple of training camps has been run in the morning, so it was a nice change of pace to mix things up for the

The Detroit Lions have been trying to expand James Houston’s game ever since drafting the speedy pass rusher in the sixth round of the 2022 NFL Draft. The experimentation led to Houston initially not making the Lions roster as a rookie before erupting with eight sacks in the final seven games. Throughout the last two

The Detroit Lions have made a necessary addition at quarterback in advance of Monday night’s practice session. With Hendon Hooker sidelined with a concussion suffered in the preseason opener, the Lions have added Jake Fromm in a series of roster moves. Fromm was a fifth-round pick out of Georgia in the 2020 NFL Draft by

When the Detroit Lions selected Hendon Hooker in the 3rd round of the 2023 NFL Draft, there was some uncertainty on if he’d play at any point of his rookie season. Most of this uncertainty came from the Lions having Jared Goff but also, Hooker, was coming back from a torn ACL. With that, he

Over the last three years under Dan Campbell and Brad Holmes, I always pay attention to the players they take later in the NFL Draft. In addition to that, it’s important to watch the players they sign as undrafted free agents. Much of that is due to their ability to identify talent and coach them

The Detroit Lions slogged to a 14-3 preseason loss on Thursday night in soggy New York to the Giants. Playing almost no players who will see the field for meaningful reps in 2024, Detroit dropped the first exhibition game. How did the rest of the Lions division, the NFC North, fare in its preseason week

The Lions are getting closer to finally having one of their 2024 draft picks in the practice lineup. Sixth-round offensive lineman Christian Mahogany is progressing toward being activated from the non-football illness list. Mahogany has been out all of training camp with an undisclosed illness.

After two players suffered season-ending injuries in the preseason opener in New York, the Detroit Lions added two new players to the training camp roster ahead of Sunday’s practice session. The Lions signed veteran offensive lineman Jamarco Jones and linebacker Abraham Beauplan to the 90-man roster. They will take the place of injured offensive tackle

During the Detroit Lions 14 – 3 loss to the New York Giants last Thursday, they saw potential backup quarterback Hendon Hooker go down with injury. The injury he sustained was a concussion and it’s unclear of exactly when that injury occurred. Meanwhile, it seems unlikely that we’ll see Hooker play in the Lions second

Lions undrafted rookie defensive end  Nate Lynn had been steadily climbing the depth chart all summer. A very strong preseason debut against the New York Gianylts elevated Lynn into legitimate contention to make the 53-man roster. Unfortunately for Lynn, his rookie campaign is over. The EDGE from William & Mary suffered a shoulder injury in
