With the news breaking early Friday morning that kicker Michael Badgley suffered a season-ending injury during practice Thursday, the Lions may be in the market for a veteran kicker to compete with Jake Bates, who has been off to a good start in camp. Who are some kickers they could go after? Here’s a quick

In conjunction with the Detroit Lions Podcast, I recorded a video summary of what I saw and heard during the second Detroit Lions training camp practice session. The video was recorded just after Thursday’s practice in Allen Park. The focus here is on three of the most hot-button players on the roster: [affiliatewidget_smgtolocal] Terrion Arnold

[affiliatewidget_smgtolocal] We have our first injury of Detroit Lions training camp. Kicker Michael Badgley is headed for the injured reserve and will miss the season. Head coach Dan Campbell broke the bad news about Badgley at the start of his Friday morning press conference. Campbell indicated Badgley suffered a “significant” injury and needs surgery. Badgley’s

There is a new international flavor in Allen Park after the latest roster move by the Detroit Lions. The team has signed free agent defensive lineman David Bada following the second training camp session. Bada is a part of the NFL’s International Player Pathway program. As such, he does not count against the team’s 90-man

It’s not going to be easy for any undrafted rookies to make the Detroit Lions 53-man roster this year. It’s one of the side effects of the Lions finally being a viable Super Bowl contender; there aren’t many open spots on the depth chart, even at the bottom. If any of the UDFA rookies are

When looking at the Detroit Lions depth chart, there’s some uncertainty at wide receiver after Jameson Williams and Amon-Ra St. Brown. Last season, the third receiver was Josh Reynolds but he signed with Denver this off-season. This leads to a guessing game of who will step up. It could be Antoine Green, Donovan Peoples-Jones or

The second day of Detroit Lions training camp was certainly an interesting one. From skill players showing out to celebrity guests, Thursday’s session at the team facility in Allen Park had a little bit of everything for an unpadded practice. After missing the opening day on Wednesday, it was great to get out and back

[affiliatewidget_smgtolocal] Unfortunate injury news for a division rival of the Lions as Minnesota Vikings cornerback Mekhi Blackmon suffered a torn ACL during the team’s first day of practice Wednesday. Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reported the news. Blackmon appeared in 15 games and started three as a rookie last season. Blackmon recorded 41 tackles (34

Stints on the physically unable-to-perform (PUP) and non-football injury (NFI) lists are often quite brief to start training camp. That proved true for four Detroit Lions who began camp on the lists. The Lions activated the foursome on Wednesday, the first day of practice at the team’s training facility in Allen Park. The biggest name

Could Lions quarterback Jared Goff be in the mix to win the MVP award in 2024? Very much so and he may be worth taking a look at in terms of laying some money down given his current value on the board in the eyes of one Yahoo Sports analyst. Frank Schwab of Yahoo says

The Lions revamped their secondary this offseason, including drafting cornerbacks with their first two picks of the 2024 draft in Terrion Arnold and Ennis Rakestraw. Detroit also traded for Carlton Davis from the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. One other player that should help make an impact, when healthy, is Emmanuel Moseley. Moseley has suffered a torn

Jameson Williams earned a lot of praise during the spring session at Detroit Lions OTAs and minicamp. Those of us in attendance at the practices saw the growth and professional maturity from Williams throughout May and June, just as Lions head coach Dan Campbell said we would. On the first day of Lions training camp,

[affiliatewidget_smgtolocal] In a series of moves relating to the Detroit Lions roster at the start of the team’s training camp, the Lions also made a roster change to the offensive line. Veteran lineman Matt Farniok was waived on Wednesday. Farniok ended the 2023 season on the Lions practice squad and was signed to a future/reserve

Four players expected to be in the lineup on the first day of Detroit Lions training camp are instead sitting it out. The Lions placed four players on the non-football injury list to start camp on Wednesday. Three of the four are newcomers to Detroit: CB Carlton Davis [affiliatewidget_smgtolocal] CB Amik Robertson WR Tre’Quan Smith

The Detroit Lions have three key defensive players starting training camp on the physically unable to perform list. Projected starters Brian Branch, Marcus Davenport and DJ Reader are all idle to start the summer sessions. Based on Dan Campbell’s press conference to kick off the training camp on Wednesday morning, none of the conditions seem

Every summer, the NFL releases the Top-100 ranked players in the league. This ranking is voted on by the players themselves. Last season, the Detroit Lions had multiple players in the NFL Top -100. Those players were Aidan Hutchinson at 88th, Amon-Ra St. Brown at 67th and Jared Goff at 66th. For the 2024 list

Thanks to a new corporate sponsorship at the Detroit Lions training facility in Allen Park, the fan experience of attending training camp just got a lot cooler. The Lions, in a press release, announced a new name for the training facility. It is now the Meijer Performance Center in Allen Park, and it comes with

In years past, it was quite notable when a national NFL analyst projected big things for the Detroit Lions. Years of futility and disappointment made finding an optimistic, bullish take on the Lions ahead of training camp a rarity. Not anymore, certainly not after Detroit’s 2023 campaign — the best season for the Lions in

The Detroit Lions veterans reported to Allen Park for training camp duty, joining the rookies in the annual summer spectacle that sorts out who will be Lions in 2024. There isn’t a lot of drama for the starting lineup, especially on offense. But there are several roster spots and depth roles that are wide open
