Ahead of every Detroit Lions game in 2025, we will provide readers with an updated depth chart of the team’s roster based on what we are seeing at practices.

After a rough outing in the Hall of Fame Game, the Detroit Lions are back at it this week, traveling to Georgia for Week 1 of their 2025 preseason schedule against the Atlanta Falcons. Similarly to the game against the Los Angeles Chargers in Ohio, the vast majority of starters and regular season contributors will…

The Detroit Lions announced on Thursday that cornerback Ennis Rakestraw has been placed on injured reserve. While the Lions have an option to cut him with an injury settlement and re-sign him later in the year, reports from various sources suggest Rakestraw’s shoulder injury—which required surgery—is significant enough to end his 2025 season.

According to NFL insider Aaron Wilson, the Detroit Lions are signing tight end Steven Stilianos. Stilianos just completed a season for the UFL’s San Antonio Brahmas. He played in nine total games, catching 15 passes for 86 yards and a touchdown. At 6-foot-5, 251 pounds, he’s built like a linebacker and is more in the…

Detroit Lions’ second-year cornerback Ennis Rakestraw appears to be headed for surgery after posting a picture of himself prepped for a procedure on an Instagram Reel.

The Detroit Lions will get their first chance to prove that their depth is better than it looked during last week’s preseason opener in the Hall of Fame Game. On Friday, the Lions will take on the Atlanta Falcons in their second of four exhibition matches to get ready for the 2025 NFL season.

The Detroit Lions have established a precedent of not playing their starters in the preseason and instead opting to get them their necessary work in a more controlled practice environment. At the same time, the Lions also believe that it’s paramount to get their rookies as many snaps during training camp/preseason as possible in order…

Friday’s preseason game against the Atlanta Falcons is going to be drastically important for several Detroit Lions players. We’re at about the halfway point of training camp and the preseason, which means time is running out for the roster bubble players on offense and defense to make their best cases for the 53-man roster. And…

After an intense Monday practice, the Detroit Lions took some intensity off of Wednesday’s training camp session, working only in shells during the two-hour field work. The main takeaway of the day was, again, a strong day from the defensive unit. Let’s get into that and a lot more in our Detroit Lions training camp…

While the summer months often represent an opportunity to rest, relax, and recharge, it’s anything but that for a team with Super Bowl aspirations like the Detroit Lions; the team is always looking for ways to improve their roster, no matter where they find themselves in the NFL calendar.

According to the official NFL transaction wire, former Detroit Lions safety Tracy Walker has been suspended for the first 12 games of the 2025 NFL season. Walker is currently a free agent, and if he decides to sign with a team, he can participate in training camp and preseason, but his suspension will take effect…

Despite Aidan Hutchinson returning to Allen Park this summer and looking every bit like the player that garnered Defensive Player of the Year attention early last season, talks of a contract extension between the two sides haven’t provided for “any intense talks yet,” according to Detroit Lions general manager Brad Holmes.

The Detroit Lions continue to work their way through the bumps and bruises that occur during the physical part of training camp.
