The Detroit Lions have their sights set on a Super Bowl. After a collapse in the NFC Championship Game against the San Francisco 49ers, the team is ready to make another run this season. One of the team’s strengths is its offensive line, led by right tackle Penei Sewell. A scary practice moment today was

The Pittsburgh Steelers won’t have an extensive game plan for the Detroit Lions in the final preseason game on Saturday, but cornerback Joey Porter Jr. is thoroughly prepping for All-Pro wide receiver Amon-Ra St. Brown. “Yeah, definitely, I’ve been knowing (about) him for a long time. Where he played at in high school (California powerhouse

And that’s that. The Detroit Lions had their final training camp practice on Wednesday. At least the the last one that the media has access to anyways. It was a very newsworthy one too. Let’s get into our observations from the day: Penei Sewell’s injury is a major problem Sewell went down with an injury

Detroit Lions star offensive tackle Penei Sewell left the team’s final training camp practice early Wednesday with a foot injury. Multiple reports said Sewell went to the sideline, where trainers removed his sock and shoe to look at the foot. He then went to the locker room under his own power for tests. The Lions,

Jared Goff‘s career turnaround led to the former No. 1 overall pick joining the $50M-per-year club, officially ending any speculation regarding his long-term future in Detroit. The Lions still have questions to answer behind their high-priced starter, however. At this time last year, Detroit had signed Teddy Bridgewater to back up Goff. After playing out

Jameson Williams is poised to have a breakout season with the Detroit Lions. Injuries and a suspension have been a huge part of his career story thus far but heading into 2024, Williams is ready to roll. Detroit is expected to be one of the best teams in the NFC as well, much thanks to

A top picked running back by many fantasy experts this offseason, Jahmyr Gibbs was expected to have a breakout season. Gibbs who accumulated 945 yards and 10TDs as a rookie despite missing two regular season games has everything you would look for in a fantasy running back. A great center of gravity, good acceleration when

Detroit Lions running back Jahmyr Gibbs is on track to play in the season opener as his injured hamstring continues to improve, coach Dan Campbell said Tuesday. Gibbs, 22, hasn’t practiced since Aug. 12. Campbell said he expects Gibbs to return to practice next week in preparation for the Sept. 8 opener at home against

The Detroit Lions have a really good scouting department. Mainly because they have some of the best undrafted rookies in the league this year. I say that not fully knowing what other teams have. This is mostly based on the idea that we’re locked in on these guys more now than we have been in

Former Tennessee Vols quarterback Hendon Hooker has had a nice preseason so far for the Detroit Lions.  Hooker, a third round selection by the Lions in the 2024 NFL Draft, saw his first game action in week one of the preseason when he accounted for 70 total yards against the New York Giants (36 passing

Like the Detroit Lions, I was desperate to find a way to fix the team’s receiving corps ahead of the season, so I cooked up a trade package that would send Kalif Raymond to Ravens. Obviously a good number of Lions weren’t happy about that.  The big response that I got was that “Kalif Raymond

Yes, it’s another receiver article. We’ve got a lot of them. It’s because it’s the Lions top problem right now. One of the big ways they can fix it is by going after a receiver that could be hitting the open market soon after their current team cuts them.  Jeremy Reisman of, my old stomping

The Detroit Lions continue to sign linebackers like it’s going out of style. Last week they signed Abraham Beauplan, before that it was Ty Summers, Malik Jefferson and Ben Niemann. The belief is that the Lions are looking to have someone on the roster in case Malcolm Rodriguez isn’t ready to go Week 1.  On

The Detroit Lions are making some final moves before the start of the 2024 NFL regular season. The team recently experienced an injury to their quarterback Hendon Hooker, who suffered a concussion during the preseason. While it may not be as important as the starting job, the backup quarterback position is crucial to a team’s

Iyiegbuniwe, 28, was drafted by the Bears in the fourth round out of Western Kentucky. He played out the final year of a four-year, $3.1 million rookie contract and became a free agent in 2022. The Seahawks signed Iyiegbuniwe to a one-year deal but ended up releasing him during training camp. From there, he spent

The public is leaning heavily toward the hangover of letting a Super Bowl appearance slip away being less severe than the headache of actually losing the Super Bowl. The Detroit Lions led 24-10 at halftime in San Francisco in last year’s NFC Championship Game, only to see the 49ers storm back for a 34-31 victory.

Ok, I need everyone to just walk with me on this one, becasue what I’m saying here about the Detroit Lions’ selection of Giovanni Manu is not totally against Manu. It’s against where Manu was taken and what the Lions didn’t do and how that’s affecting them now. We’re a one week away from the

The Detroit Lions second preseason game is in the books. A 24-24 win over the Kansas City Chiefs at Arrowhead after a big Jake Bates walk off 43-yard field goal. As we go into our final week of training camp, the answers as to who could make the team’s 53 man roster are really starting

Detroit Lions head coach Dan Campbell is known for his love of taking chances and his latest gamble paid off in a big way. The biggest question entering Saturday’s game was whether or not the Lions starters would take the field against the Kansas City Chiefs. But the Lions bench proved they could fend off the
