While this discussion would be even cooler if the Detroit Lions were playing their 2023 season in some new threads, at least fans were treated to a new helmet. Full of young talent, there are several members of the Lions’ roster who could sell plenty of jerseys during the upcoming season.

With Detroit Lions training camp just a few days away, it’s time for the return of our offseason series “Bubble Watch.” In this series, we will identify the players on the roster bubble and our staff will make predictions on whether they will make the initial 53-man roster or not. We will do this every…
On Thursday afternoon, the Detroit Lions announced a flurry of roster moves and designations. They confirmed both the trade for Denzel Mims and the release of kicker Michael Badgley. In addition to that, they have placed three players on the Non-Football Injury (NFI) list: QB Hendon Hooker, TE Derrick Deese Jr., and DL Zach Morton.
On Wednesday, we broke down the players on the Detroit Lions 2023 roster who were ranked 70-61 according to our staffers. I called this the roster bubble of this Lions team, but, in truth, that’s just half of the bubble. The next 10 players on our list will also be fighting for their football lives…
Late on Wednesday night, news broke that the Detroit Lions and New York Jets have agreed to a trade that would send former second-round pick Denzel Mims to Detroit. Since the trade went public, details have been slowly rolling out about the trade (which remains unofficial). Here’s what we know about the trade terms and…
Wednesday night, news broke that the Detroit Lions have agreed to trade for Jets receiver Denzel Mims. Any time a team adds a player who was drafted in the second round just four years ago, it’s bound to get some fans excited. However, Mims never came close to living up to his potential with the…
When NFL training camps kick off, everything is under the microscope, and that is especially true for the Detroit Lions as just about everyone wants to know if this team is as real as predictions expect it to be. Camp is always a fun time of year, but something just feels a little different this…
According to a report from New York reporter Connor Hughes, the Detroit Lions are trading for Jets receiver Denzel Mims. (Note: Josina Anderson broke that trade talks were ongoing) Earlier in the day, there were reports that the Jets were prepared to cut Mims, but it appears the Lions opted not to take their chances…
Detroit Lions training camp tickets went on sale at 10 a.m. ET on Wednesday morning, and just after 5 p.m. ET on the same day, the team announced every ticket has been claimed. Unlike last year, the Lions were requiring fans to acquire tickets (for free) to attend practice. With six different training camp practices…
We’ve reached the 60s when it comes to our countdown of the entire Detroit Lions 2023 roster. Typically, this range is where you’ll continue to find relative long-shots to make the 53-man roster. However, it’s different for the Lions this year. Many—if not, all—of these players have a legitimate shot at making the roster, showcasing…
As a liminal team, the Detroit Lions looked to veteran leadership from the outside at the start of the Dan Campbell regime. It is an ephemeral job, the kind of euphemism that comes with rebuilding efforts, job training that pushes out the trainer overtime. Alex Anzalone’s role was always to assist in rebuilding the linebacker…
It’s that time of year again. Every year, I tell myself I won’t waste my breath on Madden’s video game rankings of Detroit Lions players. Every year, it gets to me. I guess that’s probably on purpose on their end. I really tried this year, guys.
The Detroit Lions entered the week with two members of their 2023 NFL Draft class still unsigned. That no longer remains the case, as first-round running back Jahmyr Gibbs signed his rookie deal on Monday, and second-round defensive back Brian Branch followed suit a day later. Now all eight picks from the Lions’ 2023 class…
Detroit Lions rookies are to report to training camp on Wednesday, but before quarterback Hendon Hooker flies up to Michigan, he’s been doing the media rounds. As part of the SEC Media Day festivities, Hooker spent Monday doing several radio and television spots, and throughout several of them, he provided quick updates on his health.
Training camp is on the horizon. The smell of football is on the air, and it’s not that musky just yet. It’s the first of many stations of “the return of football,” where we force baseball out of the way and tell the basketball nerds to be quiet with their psychotic free agency ramblings that…
Teammates are poking fun at a funny new video of Detroit Lions running back David Montgomery having a bit of a tough time with a resistance band. Now I want it to be known this is all in good fun — that man is incredibly strong and most of you couldn’t do a fraction of…
Our rankings of the Detroit Lions’ entire 2023 roster continues with players 80 through 71. This group of players should all be considered relative long-shots to make the roster, but don’t be surprised to see a lot of these players stick around on the practice squad. There is some talent amongst this group, and as…
As we make our way through our Detroit Lions roster preview series, next up we have defensive tackle Isaiah Buggs. Buggs played his college football at the University of Alabama and was originally drafted in the sixth round of the 2019 NFL Draft by the Pittsburgh Steelers. Prior to the 2022 season, he was signed…
As we approach Detroit Lions training camp at the end of the week, it’s time to take one last overview of the team’s roster. While roster limits are currently at 90, the Lions are one of a few teams that actually have 91 players due to the NFC North being a part of the NFL’s…
For as hyped as we get about the NFL Draft, the reality is that only a fraction of the draft picks will work out. Whether due to poor performances, injuries, or a loaded roster, many draft selections only last a short while with their original team—if they make it a single season at all.
