The Detroit Lions bye week is officially over. They held their first practice on Tuesday ahead of their return game against the Los Angeles Chargers. With that comes our first practice report of the week. Frist off, the good stuff. David Montgomery, Jonah Jackson and Frank Ragnow all returned to practice on Tuesday. That’s a
The Detroit Lions have a problem that’s really been hurting them lately and that’s scoring in the red zone. How bad has it been? The Lions are currently 21st in the NFL in red zone scoring percentage. They score on just 48% of their trips to the red zone. That’s just not great at all. What’s worse
The Detroit Lions were on a bye in Week 9 and that time away has allowed everyone to gain some perspective on where this team sits at the midway point of the 2023 season. The Lions used the extra time to reflect and self-scout so they can make a strong push toward the playoffs in…
Devine Ozigbo is back on the Detroit Lions practice squad after a brief bout of unemployment. The Lions signed the veteran running back onto the practice squad on Monday after releasing him late last week in the move to sign linebacker Trevor Nowaske to the active roster. It was a busy Monday on the NFL
The Lions were fit for a king during their bye week. Detroit gained status in several NFL weekly power polls by simply not playing in Week 9, a good case of when everything means nothing. No fear of missing out in a crazy weekend around the league. Detroit moved up in the Touchdown Wire poll,
Donovan Peoples-Jones has returned home to Detroit and the Lions want to make sure he’s absolutely ready before hitting the gridiron. The Detroit Lions made a move for the former Cass Tech and University of Michigan star wideout at the trade deadline last week, sending the Cleveland Browns a sixth-round pick in return. Since then,…
Week 9 is over and done with. Now it’s time for us to look back at the first half of the Detroit Lions season. That’s just what we’re going to do. All this week we’re going to be doing a series of mid-season articles. We’ll be talking about both the good and the bad of
Detroit Lions safety C.J. Gardner-Johnson suffered a torn pectoral in Week 2 against the Seahawks. It’s a lengthy injury and has given Gardner-Johnson a lot of free time outside of the time he’s been training to get back. This has allowed him to focus on his rap career and do something that a lot people
By nearly every single measure, the first half of the Detroit Lions’ 2023 season was a success. Not only do they have a 6-2 record and a 1.5-game lead on the NFC North, but they also boast a top-10 offense and defense by DVOA metrics, hold the No. 2 seed in the NFC, and have…
The Detroit Lions exit the bye week and head into the second half of the regular season atop the NFC North and with a 6-2 record. Next on their slate is the Los Angeles Chargers, who they will play on the road. Despite the Chargers’ 4-4 record, the Lions are only 1.5-point favorites. It may…
The Detroit Lions raised some eyebrows when they signed rookie linebacker Trevor Nowaske from the practice squad to the active roster during the heart of the team’s bye week. With no players in the building and six linebackers already on the active roster, it seemed like an unusual timing for such a move. Head coach
The NFL closes out Week 9 with a “Monday Night Football” matchup between the Los Angeles Chargers and New York Jets at MetLife Stadium in New Jersey.

The Detroit Lions are coming out of the bye week ready to take on the Los Angeles Chargers. The Chargers have a fairly young roster, but there are some former Lions players who are now contributors for them. Here are some old friends and fan favorites from the Lions who will now be opponents for
Last week, the Detroit Lions made a curious roster move. After cutting Devine Ozigbo—a clear sign running back David Montgomery was near ready to return—the Lions filled the roster spot with linebacker Trevor Nowaske, an undrafted rookie who has spent the first two months of the season on the practice squad.
Detroit Lions rookie Jahmyr Gibbs has shown up big in the the absence of David Montgomery. He’s racked up 315 total yards and two touchdowns in the last two games and had really shown what he can do. So with David Montgomery likely coming back this week, what does that do to Gibbs? Lions Head
The push for greater scale in the athlete representation business is intensifying with Excel Sports Management’s acquisition of REP 1 Football — a move that expands the agency’s presence among NFL players. Before the long-rumored deal, Excel had been active in promotion and sponsorships with NFL players such as San Diego Chargers quarterback Justin Herbert
When the Detroit Lions drafted quarterback Hendon Hooker in the third round of the 2023 NFL draft, it was done with the expectation that Hooker would not be ready right away. The Tennessee QB was recovering from an ACL tear late in the college season, plus the Lions have an established Pro Bowl starter in
The Detroit Lions are officially off the bye week and already starting their preparation for Sunday’s road trip against the Los Angeles Chargers. One of the prime benefits of a bye week is the extra time to get healthy, and it appears the Lions did just that. On Monday, coach Dan Campbell indicated that running…
The Detroit Lions were on a bye week last week. That’s why it was a little strange that on Thursday they did a practice squad elevation out of nowhere. The team signed undrafted rookie linebacker Trevor Nowaske to their 53-man roster. We now know why they made that move, it’s because he was about to
