Reynolds posted 40 catches and 608 yards with Detroit last season; both of those figures represented the second-highest totals of his career. He also matched a personal best with five touchdowns.

Flag football won’t be part of the 2024 Paris Olympics (July 26-Aug. 11), but it will debut at the 2028 Olympics in Los Angeles, and Cincinnati Bengals QB Joe Burrow wants in on the action. “I really want to play for the Olympic flag football team.

The Detroit Lions have undergone a major turnaround in recent seasons. When general manager Brad Holmes and head coach Dan Campbell took over, this bottom-barrel franchise found little success on the field. Having Jared Goff at quarterback has certainly helped. In three short seasons, they have gone from bottom feeders to the top of the
Kerby Joseph suffered a hip injury in Week 2 of the 2023 campaign. The ailment led to two missed games before the third-year Lions safety returned to action for the remainder of the regular season and playoffs.

Josh Paschal Expectations for 2023 Paschal’s rookie season was relatively forgettable. A core injury sustained while in college cost him all of training camp and the first five games of the season. In the 10 games he did appear in, he tallied just 10 tackles, 2.0 sacks, and four QB hits. So going into 2023,
As the countdown to the 2024 NFL season continues, all eyes in Michigan are on the Detroit Lions as they prepare for a season with heightened expectations.

The Detroit Lions tight end position is a great example of how their entire roster looks headed into the 2024 season: the starting job is not up for grabs, and neither is the primary reserve role. But building out depth is important for a championship team, and the 2024 training camp battle at tight end…
The Detroit Lions offense finished third in total yards and fifth in scoring in 2023, the second straight season finishing in the top five in both categories.

The Pro Football Hall of Fame’s class of 2024 will officially be inducted on Aug. 3. With less than a month until the annual event in Canton, Ohio, we’re examining which players — past and present — on the league’s 32 teams we think will one day receive a similar honor. Here are three Detroit
Lions running back David Montgomery is known for being tough to tackle. His lower-body strength and thick build are a rough assignment for even the best NFL defenders to get onto the ground.

Kids, don’t try this at home… Lions All-Pro wide receiver Amon-Ra St. Brown made an admission on the debut episode of the “Receiver” series on Netflix that sounds painful just to describe.

$6.25 is still pretty pricey for beer, but when you consider that stadium prices have always been higher than your average grocery store price, this is pretty good. Imagine playing $14.67 for one beer in Philadelphia. That is absolutely insane. You can give all your NFC North enemies some grief on this too. Not only
