The Detroit Lions entered training camp with most of their starting positions already assumed. There was some shifting here and there—like rookie Brian Branch working his way into the starting lineup—but for the most part, the Lions didn’t mess with their first teamers much of any in training camp.
As the Detroit Lions hype train prepares to depart from the terminal to kick off the 2023 regular season, it looks like a lot of national analysts are on board. While much of the noise recently has been about the team’s chances of winning the division and coach Dan Campbell’s meteoric rise to become a…
Allen Park — This Detroit Lions defense looks a lot different than the old Detroit Lions defense. And while some key free-agent signings have a lot to do with that, the strength of the team’s unit lies below the surface. Lions general manager Brad Holmes said Friday the unit has “tremendous” depth. “Defensively, we…wanted to
When analyzing the Detroit Lions roster, it may be easy to overlook Charles Harris. Recently, the Lions have added a bunch of new players on defense, including five draft picks picked in the first two rounds over the last three years. Meanwhile, Harris is coming off an injury-shortened season in which he only logged six…
The Detroit Lions 2023 draft class will go down as a pivotal selection of players. General manager Brad Holmes tossed some conventional wisdom out the window and just selected, as he would put it, “football players.” Positional value or immediate need didn’t seem to concern him too much, and while that drew some poor reviews…

Allen Park — One day, in the very near future, the entire Detroit Lions organization will have reprieve from being asked about the expectations surrounding their season. But Friday was not that day. And in the meantime, general manager Brad Holmes said, they’re not going to run from them. “It does feel good and like
Allen Park — After an intense competition that lasted the duration of the offseason program, a clear winner didn’t emerge among the three Lions linebackers — Jack Campbell, Derrick Barnes and Malcolm Rodriguez — who were battling for a starting job. But it’s not because none of the players stepped up. Rather, all three impressed.
Allen Park — The Lions’ offensive line is nationally recognized as one of the best in the NFL, but for the first time in three seasons, the team’s projected five starters are on track to share the field during a regular-season game. Offensive coordinator Ben Johnson couldn’t be more thrilled. “Love it,” Johnson said Saturday.
Allen Park — Kansas City Chiefs coach Andy Reid has developed a reputation for taking play calls from unusual places. This week, he shared a story about how he plucked a play design from a janitor. “I took one from a janitor one time at Green Bay,” Reid said. “He goes, ‘I got this play
Allen Park — If there was any truth serum around, Lions coaches and players would probably tell you that they hope the holdout of Kansas City Chiefs All-Pro defensive tackle Chris Jones drags on for just one more week.
