In the grand scheme of things, the 2023 Detroit Lions enjoyed a successful season despite squandering a 24-7 halftime lead en route to losing the NFC Championship game to the San Francisco 49ers. Lions quarterback Jared Goff nevertheless still has a bitter taste in his mouth because, as he recently told Greg Bishop of Sports Illustrated, “we didn’t win” the

The biggest reason the Lions have been successful recently is that their draft picks are living up to and sometimes exceed expectations. However, that can’t be said for all of Detroit’s selections. Wide receiver Jameson Williams, the team’s first-round pick (No. 12) in 2022, has disappointed in his first two years in the NFL, during
Prior to the start of training camp, I compiled a list of 10 key Lions dealing with offseason medical issues. The health of these players will help determine whether this team can achieve their lofty, Super Bowl aspirations. Now that camp is over, 3 preseason games are in the books, and the 53-man roster is
It’s been a busy few days for the Detroit Lions. On Tuesday, they narrowed their roster to 52 players, then picked up former Lions UDFA LB Trevor Nowaske off of waivers on Wednesday afternoon. By the end of Wednesday, they established their initial practice squad, adding 15 players with another (Donovan Peoples-Jones) reportedly on the…
The Detroit Lions season is right around the corner. Before we get into it, I thought i might be fun to take one last look at another insane trade proposal put out by an NFL writer. We found a crazy one for sure. Marisa Myers of TWSN is saying that she believes the Lions will
The Detroit Lions are rolling into Week 1 with just four wide receivers on the active 53-man roster. Of the foursome, only Jameson Williams stands above 6-foot-1 and only Amon-Ra St. Brown tops 190 on the weight scale. The Lions are very small at wideout, no doubt about it. To that end, the Lions added
When the Detroit Lions drafted Jameson Williams in 2022, they knew it was going to be a slow start for the former Alabama wide receiver. With a torn ACL suffered just a few months before the draft, the Lions selected him knowing most of his rookie season would be spent on the sidelines.
This question may be a bit early, but at this point, I don’t really care. The sooner it is next Sunday, the better. Don’t get me wrong, I am going to do my best to enjoy this long Labor Day weekend. If you are around the Detroit area, the Jazz festival is this weekend, and…
The Detroit Lions have established their 53-man roster (okay, it sits at 52 right now), and their 16-man practice squad (okay, it’s only at 15 as of Friday morning). With only a couple more moves to shake out before we approach Week 1, we thought it was time to fully break down the roster moves…
The Detroit Lions had one open spot on the practice squad after releasing veteran safety CJ Moore earlier on Thursday. They fill the spot with another safety. The Lions announced they have signed Erick Hallett to the final spot on the practice squad. Hallett, 24, was a sixth-round pick by the Jacksonville Jaguars in the
The Detroit Lions cleared a spot on the practice squad early Thursday morning when they released veteran safety C.J. Moore. They already have a replacement by signing Erik Hallett. The 24-year-old Hallett was a sixth-round pick by the Jaguars in the 2023 NFL Draft. He spent last season on the team’s practice squad. He was
The Detroit Lions announced they signed S Erick Hallett to their practice squad on Thursday. Detroit’s practice squad now includes: WR Donovan Peoples-Jones LB Mitchell Agude C Kingsley Eguakun QB Jake Fromm RB Jermar Jefferson T Jamarco Jones WR Tom Kennedy TE James Mitchell DL Pat O’Connor WR Tim Patrick DL Kyle Peko WR Allen
For the last 15 seasons, at least one undrafted rookie free agent (UDFA) has made the Detroit Lions’ initial 53-man roster, which is quite an impressive streak. Even more remarkable is that the Lions’ roster is considered deep enough to make a run at the Super Bowl, yet, there were still three UDFAs that made…
Could Detroit Lions kicker Jake Bates have had a better training camp? Yes, obviously. The team’s new kicker missed more than a handful of short kicks and had a couple of tough practices along the way. But the young kicker still managed to win the Lions’ kicker job unopposed.
