The Lions are one preseason game away from making their final decisions on their 53-man roster. We’ve already talked about the three guys that locked up roster spots, now it’s time to talk about three guys that lost a chance at the roster on Saturday. Daurice Fountain It really sucks because it was right there.

The Detroit Lions had a fun one against the Kansas City Chiefs on Saturday. It was a preseason game, but there was some good drama and the Lions walked out with a 24-23 win. That wasn’t all that happened, three guys locked up a spot on the Lions 53-man roster. Let’s talk about it. Kindle

Former Tennessee Vols quarterback Hendon Hooker had a solid performance against the Kansas City Chiefs on Saturday.  Hooker, who made his NFL preseason debut last week against the New York Giants, completed 12-of-15 passes for 150 yards in the Lions’ 24-23 preseason win against the Chiefs. He also rushed for 11 yards and a touchdown

The Detroit Lions have had some receiver problems as of late. The team has been dying for someone to step and really fill that WR3 role this summer and nobody really has. Still, Saturday’s win over the Chiefs and comments from Dan Campbell earlier in the week really gave some insight into what this group

Isaiah also showed his versatility during the game as he had two punt returns for 21 yards . The former Illini receiver is one of the most elusive players in the open field and should hopefully find his way onto an NFL roster as a utility slot receiver or kick returner. He may lack straight-line

Lions Lions first-round CB Terrion Arnold injured his pectoral muscle on Monday and is expected to return for the start of the season. Detroit DC Aaron Glenn isn’t sure if he’ll start immediately but knows he’ll make an impact when he’s back. “From college, we know he can go out there and play man coverage,”

It’s time for preseason Week 2 and the Detroit Lions have a big game against the Kansas City Chiefs on Saturday. The second to last preseason game has always been thought of as the dress rehearsal, but nowadays it more like the last game for players to show what they got before that third game

Carolina adds some veteran depth with a couple of weeks left of training camp after Boettger was let go by the Lions earlier this week.  Boettger, 29, wound up signing on with the Bills as an undrafted free agent out of Iowa back in 2018. He received a three-year, $1.71 million deal but was waived

At first glimpse this might seem like a good thing for Houston and the team, but if you’ve been listening to the things that the Lions have been saying every week, it could spell trouble. Just last week Lions’ head coach Dan Campbell said that the team was not looking for one trick ponies. “The

Lions Lions HC Dan Campbell said that he doesn’t expect QB Hendon Hooker to practice this week. “Yeah, honestly, we don’t know,” Campbell said, via Lions Wire. “We don’t know where he’s gonna be. He’s not gonna be out there today. We probably won’t have him tomorrow. It’s looking less likely that we’ll have him

Now, as the Lions look ahead to the 2024 season, they are a force to be reckoned with as they continue their quest for a Super Bowl championship. But as these two teams prepare for Saturday’s game, the biggest story coming out of practice this week isn’t kicker Harrison Butker’s new contract, it’s the devastating

Back in late April, the Lions emphasized cornerback in the draft. Terrion Arnold, the team’s first rounder from Alabama, was supposed to be able to solve some of the secondary issues. Now, it’s unclear whether he’ll be ready to play in the first game. Arnold suffered a chest injury during Monday’s practice. By Wednesday, he

We’re almost to cut down time and if you’ve been following the Detroit Lions or any other team in the league, then you know crazy things can happen during that time. Stuff like a team cutting or trading a guy that’s been around for a long time. One NFL analyst thinks the Lions could be

As we sat in the press room on day three of the 2024 NFL Draft, there was some talk about how weird it was that LSU defensive lineman Mekhi Wingo was still on the board. This was someone that was expected to go as high as the the third-round by some. Yet, here he was

Bears Lions Lions QB Nate Sudfeld had a rough start to his first preseason action this year where he missed four of his first five pass attempts and picked up a first down in just one of his first six drives. Detroit HC Dan Campbell needs to see more out of Sudfeld but praised his

If there’s one thing that we’ve been talking about all offseason with the Detroit Lions it’s that they need receiver help. It’s not just us at A to Z Detroit, ESPN analysts say the Lions biggest remaining need is receiver, the Athletic said their biggest concern with the Lions is the hole in the receiving

It’s been kind of a rough week for the Detroit Lions’ secondary. Both rookie cornerbacks Terrion Arnold and Ennis Rakestraw left practice with injuries on Monday. Both injuries seem to be minor and we should see both guys on Week 1, but it’s tough to lose them. On top of that undrafted rookie Morice Norris

Second-year running back Jahmyr Gibbs is expected to be a massive part of what the Detroit Lions do on offense in 2024. If the Lions make the Super Bowl this season — as they are one of the favorites to do so — Gibss will likely be a big reason why. That’s why everyone at

The San Francisco 49ers were the team to beat last season as they went 12-5 en route to a Super Bowl berth. Should you put your money on them to do it again? Kyle Shanahan’s team has retained most of the superstars from a roster that eclipsed 11 wins in back-to-back seasons, so sportsbooks have

Detroit Lions quarterback Hendon Hooker, a former Tennessee Vols standout, returned to game action last week for the first time since suffering a torn ACL at UT in late 2022.  Hooker passed for 36 yards and rushed for 34 yards in the Lions’ preseason opener against the New York Giants before he was forced from
