Allen Park — Here are some notes and observations from Wednesday’s mandatory minicamp practice, the second of the three-day offseason event. ▶ At the University of Alabama last season, Jahmyr Gibbs lined up as a receiver nearly 20% of the time. If his usage during these early stages of the offseason program are indicative of the

To be completely honest, it has been an offseason program to forget for Detroit Lions receiver Jameson Williams. Granted, this is the first set of OTAs and minicamp Williams has ever gone through after missing the entire offseason program last year with his ACL injury. Still, he’s dealt with regularly dropped passes and a clear…
There are big expectations for the Detroit Lions this season. They are the NFC North favorite. But should they be the pick as the surprise team to challenge the Philadelphia Eagles in the NFC? Stephen A. Smith said yes on ESPN’s First Take show Wednesday. (Cue Lions fans’ “oh no” reactions.) “I will openly admit,

Through a month of the Detroit Lions offseason program, without a doubt, the secondary has been the star of the show. While the defense is typically ahead of the offense at this point, it’s not very common that the defensive backfield is this dominant in the offense-favored 7-on-7 sessions. On Tuesday, during red zone drills,
Allen Park — Josh Paschal was recovering from hernia surgery for a majority of last offseason, a process that left him feeling “distant” from the team he was just drafted to. This offseason? He’s officially on the inside — and that’s not just a reference to his involvement in the team’s mandatory minicamp sessions and
For the second time this offseason the Detroit Lions have publicly toyed with the idea of going on the road for training. During the owners meetings in March, team president Rod Wood talked about potentially moving the entire team facility away from Allen Park. And on Tuesday, coach Dan Campbell—after a trip to Grand Rapids…
After the Detroit Lions cleared the field following Tuesday’s opening pracitce of mandatory minicamp, a significant milestone was being made. Rookie quarterback Hendon Hooker, the team’s third-round pick, took the field and started throwing passes to teammates running routes. It’s a significant step in Hooker’s rehabilitation from a torn ACL suffered in November.

Dan Campbell made a big statement on Tuesday. No, it wasn’t a silly T-shirt celebrating Brad Holmes and the Droste Effect. It was subtler than that, but a lot more meaningful and it spoke volumes about what the Detroit Lions coach thinks about quarterback Jared Goff compared to where he came from in Los Angeles
Slow starts have bit the Detroit Lions in the butt the past two years, and Dan Campbell is determined not to let that happen again. “That’s something that I’m always thinking about is how do we do this? Is there a different approach? Were we too light? Were we too hard? Do we need to
The Detroit Lions overhauled their secondary this offseason after struggling with depth and consistency the past two years. The Lions opened up the checkbook in free agency, signing Emmanuel Moseley, Cameron Sutton, and C.J. Gardner-Johnson, all prominent free agent defensive backs. They also spent a second-round pick on Brian Branch, the consensus best safety in…
Lions’ Jared Goff would appreciate it if the media stopped throwing gasoline on quarterback trade rumors. It isn’t happening, not in 2023 anyway. The Detroit Lions have their quarterback room set for the 2023 season: Jared Goff will start under center for the third straight year while 2023 third-rounder Hendon Hooker develops behind him. It’s
Allen Park – Jared Goff is unbothered. Go ahead, ask him how he feels about heightened expectations, or how he feels about a possible contract extension. Ask him how much more he needs to do as the Lions’ quarterback. Ask him how he feels about Jameson Williams’ occasional social media stir. Shrug. A few pleasant
The Detroit Lions opened their 2023 mandatory minicamp on Tuesday, welcoming in the media for the first of three practices this week. For the most part, the Lions roster is healthy as only 10 of their 90 players missed practice entirely, while another four were limited participants. That left a lot of players on the…
Detroit Lions quarterback Jared Goff said he did not take offense to teammate Jameson Williams’ social media post earlier this spring liking a suggestion the Lions trade for Lamar Jackson. “You guys are bored, huh?” Goff said Tuesday on the first day of mandatory minicamp. “Yeah, it’s all right. He likes Lamar, that’s OK. I’ve

There’s certainly lots of buzz around the Detroit Lions going into the upcoming season. Despite failing to make the playoffs last year, they were the closest they have ever been since 2016. Unfortunately, their fate wasn’t entirely up to them, and a Seattle Seahawks’ win over the Los Angeles Rams shut the door on the
Allen Park — The sting of missing the postseason last year because of a tiebreaker and some questionable officiating hasn’t fully faded. But had the Lions not started the 2022 campaign losing six of their first seven games, it probably wouldn’t be a conversation. Slow starts have been an issue under coach Dan Campbell. In
