On Friday night, Detroit Lions linebacker and captain Alex Anzalone took to social media to announce that he and his wife Lindsey had welcomed their second child: Carter Nicole Anzalone.

The Detroit Lions (8-3) and New Orleans Saints (5-6) have declared their injury designations ahead of their Week 13 matchup. The Lions are a pretty healthy team at this point in the season, and while they appear on track to return one starter, another is likely to miss this Sunday’s game.

Two weeks ago, the Detroit Lions signed veteran Bruce Irvin to their practice squad, hoping to provide the team some additional juice to their inconsistent pass rush. Irvin hasn’t played yet, as the Lions wanted to get the 36-year-old player in football shape prior to throwing him out there.

The Detroit Lions and New Orleans Saints will face off in Week 13, with each team looking to stay at the top of their respective divisions. The Lions (8-3) opened the week as road favorites over the Saints (5-6) and you can check out the updated odds, as well as player prop odds, for this…

The Detroit Lions and New Orleans Saints are in desperate need of a bounceback. The Lions may have only lost one of their last two games, but they looked wholly uninspiring in both performances, leading many to worry they’ll struggle down the stretch. The Saints’ situation, on the other hand, is far more dire. Their…

I don’t know about you all, but I have been looking forward to this game from the time I got home from the Thanksgiving game. Back on the road after a disappointing loss to the Green Bay Packers in Week 12, the Detroit Lions are headed south to face off with the New Orleans Saints.

The NFL opens Week 13 with an exciting “Thursday Night Football” matchup with potential NFC playoff implications when the Dallas Cowboys host the Seattle Seahawks. At the moment, both the Cowboys and Seahawks are in second place in their respective divisions, which could put them in line to be future playoff opponents of the Detroit…

The Detroit Lions (8-3) take on the New Orleans Saints (5-6) in Week 13 and both teams were back on their respective practice fields on Thursday. For the most part, the Lions got in a similar level of participation as they did for Wednesday’s practice for the Lions, with the one exception being a veteran…

The Detroit Lions are getting another primetime game in 2023! The Lions will host the Denver Broncos at Ford Field in Week 15, and the team announced that the game will be flexed to Saturday night at 8:15 p.m. ET and will be available on NFL Network (and likely a local network feed for customers…

Once again, Detroit Lions defensive back C.J. Gardner-Johnson is teasing a return to football this year. Gardner-Johnson suffered a torn pectoral in Week 2 against the Seattle Seahawks and had to get subsequent surgery. Over on Instagram Thursday morning, Gardner-Johnson seems to have circled a potential return date. In a story, he posted simply the…

He’s done one or the other, but now Detroit Lions “linebacker” Malcolm Rodriguez is expected to play both sides of the ball in a single game against the New Orleans Saints this week. A few months back, many Lions fans were surprised to see the linebacker stepping in at fullback after Jason Cabinda was placed…

With a 2.5 game lead in the NFC North, the Detroit Lions enter this final six-game game stretch with four on the road. First up is a contest down in New Orleans against a Saints team that’s firmly entrenched in a divisional race of their own. Despite splitting the last two games, the Lions are…

It has been over a year since Detroit Lions rookie quarterback Hendon Hooker has thrown a pass with shoulder pads on. Since suffering a torn ACL as a Tennessee Volunteer last November—in the midst of a potential Heisman run—he has been furiously rehabbing. But when the Lions placed him on the Non-Football Injury list, it…

It’s been over a full year since his ACL injury, but Detroit Lions rookie quarterback Hendon Hooker practiced for the first time on Wednesday. This week, the Lions opted to start Hooker’s 21-day evaluation clock, meaning over the next three weeks, he’ll either be added to the 53-man roster or will stay on the Non-Football…

The Detroit Lions announced on Wednesday that veteran receiver Tom Kennedy has re-signed to the team’s practice squad. To make room on the squad, the Lions waived rookie receiver Dylan Drummond. Kennedy has been on and off the team’s 53-man roster and practice squad for the last four seasons. He was set to make another…

The Detroit Lions being 8-3 and well in control of the NFC North is a sight to see. The fact that they’re doing so while missing so many key players for long stretches at a time is even bigger. Names like Halapoulivaati Vaitai, Ceedy Deuce, Emmanuel Moseley, and more are likely out for the season.…

It’s no secret that the Detroit Lions defense has struggled in recent weeks. Look at just the yardage totals allowed in the past five weeks: When we look at advanced statistics, the problem is only magnified. Since that Week 7 game against the Ravens, the Lions defense ranks 32nd in defensive EPA and 30th in…

Coming off a long break after a disappointing 29-22 loss to the banged-up Green Bay Packers on Thanksgiving, the Detroit Lions return and, this time, are on the road against the New Orleans Saints. Detroit wasn’t the only team to disappoint their fans last week as the Saints couldn’t hold onto their NFC South division…

It felt a little like the sky was falling on Thanksgiving after the Detroit Lions lost to the Green Bay Packers. It wasn’t just that Detroit lost to their biggest rival on national television, but that the team has now produced uninspiring performances in back-to-back weeks. This is the moment in previous years when the…
