On Saturday, the Detroit Lions will take their practice field—newly donned as the Meijer Performance Center—in front of season ticket holders. Without a doubt, that will add some extra juice to practice—not that the Lions need it after a trio of spirited practices during the work week. Still, there will be a buzz in Allen…

The Detroit Lions have produced top-five offenses in back-to-back seasons, which has been the leading source of their recent surge to the NFC Championship Game. That has led many to believe that if the Lions could manage just a top-10 unit on the other side of the ball, a championship run is very much on…

We’re only a few days into training camp and the intensity is already starting to ramp up. With players wearing shells for the first time on Friday, there were reports of some skirmishes breaking out between players after a few physical plays. It seems players are itching to get those pads on, which will happen…

The Detroit Lions practiced in front of an audience for the first time in 2024 training camp, as they welcomed in friends and family members of players, coaches, and organizational employees. Friday also marked the first day the Lions could practice in shells and with that change came another level of intensity.

Former Detroit Lions cornerback Jerry Jacobs has finally found a new NFL home. As first reported by ESPN’s Jeremy Fowler, Jacobs is signing with the Los Angeles Rams. Jacobs’ contract with the Lions expired this offseason after three seasons and 40 games played in Detroit. Over that time, Jacobs tallied 29 starts, 23 passes defended,…

According to reports from MLFootball and Mike Payton of A To Z Sports, the Detroit Lions have worked out UFL kicker Andre Szmyt. The news comes in the aftermath of Detroit losing starting kicker Michael Badgley to a torn hamstring this week that will cause him to miss the entirety of the 2024 season.

Thanks to a big infusion of talent during the offseason, we likely will continue to read about the Detroit Lions tinkering with various lineups in the secondary. While it was a relative weakness with last year’s team, this year’s roster has a plethora of options to choose from in 2024.

The Detroit Lions announced on Thursday afternoon that they have signed defensive lineman David Bada. It’s a noteworthy addition for a couple of reasons. First and foremost, Bada is a German-born player who has been a part of the NFL’s International Pathways Program since 2020. Since then, he has been on and off the Washington…

As the Detroit Lions inch closer to the regular season, it becomes clearer and clearer that they project defensive back Brian Branch in an increasingly large safety role. Branch played almost exclusively in the nickel last year, and even though coach Dan Campbell knows the 2023 second-round pick thrives at that position, he thinks Branch…

The Detroit Lions have been making history of late. With an offense slated to be among the league’s best, is there a chance they achieve one of the rarer feats in NFL history? In the modern NFL, a decent offense typically finishes with one 1000-yard receiver, more so as a byproduct of explosive passing numbers…

There’s a reason we remind our readers that when a player is placed on the Physically Unable to Perform (PUP) or Non-Football Injury (NFI) list, there is no reason to panic. Sometimes those stints just last days. For four Detroit Lions this year, that stint lasted just a matter of hours.

Earlier this offseason, the Detroit Lions locked up a trio of foundational pieces to their team, signing Jared Goff, Amon-Ra St. Brown, and Penei Sewell to big, multi-year extensions. However, there are a few other key players entering the final year of their contract, including left tackle Taylor Decker. After Wednesday’s opening training camp practice,…

Detroit Lions returned to the field on Wednesday as they officially opened up their 2024 training camp practices in Allen Park. With this being the the first practice of the acclimation period, the Lions were not in pads and practice only lasted an hour and a half, which will likely be the shortest practice during…

While the Detroit Lions added four players to the injury list at the beginning of training camp, they also welcomed back three players who were placed on such lists over the weekend. Rookie offensive tackle Giovanni Manu was taken off the Non-Football Injury list, while defensive back Brian Branch and defensive end Marcus Davenport were…
