As has been the expectation for weeks, the Detroit Lions have placed defensive lineman John Cominsky on the injured reserve list.

While none of the players the Detroit Lions waived this week ahead of Tuesday’s roster deadline were claimed by another team, one of the undrafted rookies cut by the team has found a new home. Offensive lineman Bryan Hudson has agreed to sign with the New England Patriots on that team’s practice squad. Per Patriots
There’s a story that was retold by Nate Burleson six years ago that accurately depicted the reputation and culture of the Detroit Lions franchise. As Burleson tells it, when he came into the team’s locker room for the first time in 2010 as an incoming free agent, an unnamed cornerback pulled him aside and told…
Former Tennessee Vols quarterback Hendon Hooker made the Detroit Lions’ initial 53-man roster this week.

The Detroit Lions announced a few expected roster moves on Thursday morning, along with one unexpected one. As expected, John Cominsky has been placed on injured reserve after suffering a torn MCL a month ago in training camp practice. Because he spent a day on the Lions’ 53-man roster, he is eligible to return to…
By now, everyone knows how aggressive the Detroit Lions and head coach Dan Campbell are during games. Look no further than their fourth-down decisions during the NFC Championship Game against the San Francisco 49ers back in January. But we didn’t always have a true understanding of why they are so aggressive. At least until now
