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

The Detroit Lions made it through just one day of training camp before the injury bug hit them Thursday. Kicker Michael Badgley suffered a season-ending leg injury while warming up for practice on Thursday, leading to the Lions placing him on injured reserve.

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
Thanks to a big infusion of talent during the offseason, we likely will continue to read about the Detroit Lions tinkering with various lineups in the secondary. While it was a relative weakness with last year’s team, this year’s roster has a plethora of options to choose from in 2024.
Dan Campbell is quite the inspirational orator, but he may have met his match at Detroit Lions camp. Famous wrestling figure Hulk Hogan made an appearance at Lions training camp in Allen, Mich. on Thursday. Hogan did what he does best and cut a promo with his “new tag team partner,” Campbell. Campbell was wearing
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
Detroit Lions head coach Dan Campbell has gone viral more than a few times for his fervent pregame pep talks and impassioned postgame speeches. But now the fourth-year head coach is going viral for a different reason — his teaming up with professional wrestling legend Hulk Hogan to cut a fiery promo about the Lions’
Bada, 29, signed on with Washington from Germany in April of 2020 as a part of the International Pathway program. He played in Germany’s top football division for a team known as the Schwäbisch Hall Unicorns. He spent 2020-2022 in Washington in various stints after being released and added to the practice squad multiple times.
The Detroit Lions announced on Thursday afternoon that they have signed defensive lineman David Bada. It’s a noteworthy addition for a couple of reasons. First and foremost, Bada is a German-born player who has been a part of the NFL’s International Pathways Program since 2020. Since then, he has been on and off the Washington…
Bada came to America as part of the 2020 class of International Pathways players. He had been playing American style football the German Football League in Germany for the Munich Cowboys, Ingolstadt Dukes and the Schwäbisch Hall Unicorns. The Commanders signed him and he’s spent the last four seasons with them. Bada has only played two regular
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

As the Detroit Lions inch closer to the regular season, it becomes clearer and clearer that they project defensive back Brian Branch in an increasingly large safety role. Branch played almost exclusively in the nickel last year, and even though coach Dan Campbell knows the 2023 second-round pick thrives at that position, he thinks Branch…
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
The Detroit Lions boast one of the league’s most young and talented rosters, and as the 2024 NFL season nears, aren’t shying away from lofty expectations. On the heels of a 2023 blitzkrieg to the NFC Championship Game, the Lions believe they have the pieces in place to go at least one step further in
[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
Detroit Lions returned to the field on Wednesday as they officially opened up their 2024 training camp practices in Allen Park.
