The Detroit Lions showed interest in free agent quarterback Teddy Bridgewater back in the spring, and they did again this week by bringing him into a visit on Monday. Before Tuesday’s training camp practice, coach Dan Campbell gave some insight into the team’s meeting with Bridgewater this week.
Two prominent Detroit Lions players suffered injuries during Monday’s training camp practice, but it appears both escaped significant damage. Defensive back C.J. Gardner-Johnson and wide receiver Jameson Williams went down during team periods, but both are expected to be back in a short period of time, according to coach Dan Campbell.
New Detroit Lions receiver Denzel Mims was pretty excited when he was traded from the New York Jets last week. Mims had requested a trade the year prior, but it never happened. So when Lions general manager Brad Holmes completed the deal late last week, a sense of relief and excitement came over Mims.
While Dan Campbell is trying to downplay the Detroit Lions hype train heading into 2023, others are yelling full steam ahead. Following the first day of training camp Sunday, the Lions head coach called the fanfare “out of control,” which is okay, as long as his squad earns it. Meanwhile, Peter Schrager of “Good Morning…
Detroit Lions defensive back C.J. Gardner-Johnson had to be carted off the field during Monday’s training camp practice after suffering what appeared to be a knee injury to his right knee. On the play, Gardner-Johnson was playing close to the line and was being blocked on a running play before he collapsed to the ground…
The Detroit Lions entered training camp as one of the healthiest teams in years. Only three players—quarterback Hendon Hooker, wide receiver Marvin Jones Jr., and cornerback Emmanuel Moseley—missed the opening practice. However, things took a quick turn for the worse on Monday, just Detroit’s second practice of camp.
With only a few installments left in our 2023 Detroit Lions roster ranking series, we’re starting to get into the most important pieces of this year’s squad. If this team is truly going to make the kind of impact many are predicting them to, these are the people who will have to have big years…
The first two years of Levi Onwuzurike’s NFL career haven’t been the best of starts. But despite all the hardships, the Detroit Lions’ third-year defensive tackle is ready to put the struggles—and more importantly, his back injury—behind him and get his football career back on track.
There is no time of year when there is such a huge influx of Detroit Lions news than training camp. Not only is it the only time of year when we get to watch full practices, but preceding almost every practice is a Dan Campbell press conference. Additionally, we get player interviews done after practice…
As veterans arrive on campus for training camp, the Detroit Lions announced just one player, Emmanuel Moseley, would start on the Physically Unable to Perform (PUP) list. UPDATE: The Lions also announced Marvin Jones Jr. will start on the Non-Football Injury (NFI) list. Jones was at practice on Monday and sprinting around pretty well with…
Welcome to the first day for 2023 Detroit Lions training camp. If you’re like us, you’re not only excited for the huge amount of information that is about to flow into your eyeballs, but the potentially huge season ahead for Detroit.

The Detroit Lions 2023 training camp is upon us and that means it’s time to release another installment of our 53-man roster projection. We published our first projection of the season following the conclusion of the NFL Draft, but since then have seen the current group of players go through OTAs and minicamp in the…
When Detroit Lions’ left tackle Taylor Decker was originally drafted 16th overall in the 2016 NFL draft, things looked much different than they do now. The coach was Jim Caldwell, black was still an official color in the Lions’ color scheme, and names like Dan Campbell and Brad Holmes wouldn’t mean much to fans in…
We like to joke (grouse?) about how the Detroit Lions fail to garner proper respect from national outlets, but here’s a list that raises some questions with regards to consistency in methodology. Pro Football Focus’ Sam Monson posted an article on Friday of the PFF50, or their top 50 players in the league regardless of…
The long-awaited release of “Inside the Den” finally has a date. The Detroit Lions’ Emmy-winning, behind-the-scene documentary series will premiere its next installment on the 2023 NFL Draft on Thursday, July 27. At this point, there is not a specific time in which the episode is expected to be released, but it will likely debut…
On Friday, we explored the Detroit Lions players on the roster bubble on the offensive side of the ball. On defense, the picture is a little more muddled. The Lions made a lot of changes in the offseason—particularly in the secondary—which means some familiar faces for the past few years may be on their way…
In 2021, Charles Harris was one of the few Detroit Lions players who made the most of his one-year prove it deal from general manager Brad Holmes. A two-year, $14 million pay day was his reward for being Detroit’s most productive pass rusher during Year 1 of the retool. With the Lions, his fifth year…
According to NFL insider Aaron Wilson, the Detroit Lions are intending on re-signing running back Justin Jackson. Many were curious as to why the Lions didn’t re-sign Jackson earlier this offseason, seeing as he was a solid, significant contributor to last year’s team. Jackson was the Lions’ primary kick returner and held the fourth-highest kick…
It is the final day before Detroit Lions training camp—the last few hours of “summer” for us football writers. What better way to spend the night at the movies? But, no, we aren’t pulling the viral double featuring “Barbie” and “Oppenheimer.” We’re not going to watch Tom Cruise drive a motorcycle off a mountain. I’m…
