On Tuesday, the Detroit Lions signed running back Jacob Saylors. For the past two years, Saylors has been arguably the best running back in the UFL as part of the St. Louis Battlehawks. And while he has an uphill climb in a crowded Lions running back room, with recent injuries to both Sione Vaki and…

Over the past two preseasons, the Detroit Lions have developed a habit of pushing their starters hard in practice and then resting them in the game. With four preseason games on the docket in 2025, the Lions appear to be sticking with their approach. After holding a scrimmage at practice on Tuesday, coach Dan Campbell…

For the second consecutive offseason, the hype surrounding Detroit Lions receiver Jameson Williams has proven to be true. After a breakout 2024 season in which Jamo crossed the 1,000-yard receiving yardage mark, new Lions offensive coordinator John Morton talked about how he expected Jamo to continue to be a focal point of the new offense.

The Detroit Lions announced on Tuesday morning they have signed running back Jacob Saylors to the 90-man roster. The news comes a day after reserve back Kye Robichaux suffered an injury in Monday’s practice. Robichaux was not at Tuesday’s practice either, opening up the opportunity for Saylors to get some work in training camp and…

The Detroit Lions held their first scrimmage of 2025 training camp in an effort to get their starters some reps, as most won’t play in the team’s upcoming Hall of Fame preseason game. The Lions saw the participation levels of Alex Anzalone and D.J. Reed increase for this scrimmage, but Terrion Arnold was forced to…

The Detroit Lions had a relatively short practice to end this week of training camp ahead of their Thursday night preseason game against the Los Angeles Chargers. Despite the short scrimmage, one notable injury happened: starting cornerback Terrion Arnold sat out most of practice after suffering a hamstring injury early during the day. Let’s get…

We’re just a couple days away from the Detroit Lions’ preseason opener in the Hall of Fame Game Thursday night. Tuesday, the Lions will have their final day of preparation on the field with their eighth training camp session. After that, it’s a travel day to Canton, and then a primetime matchup with the Los…

There has not been a player hyped at Detroit Lions training camp more than fourth-year receiver Jameson Williams. Back in the spring, it seemed a little ridiculous that new offensive coordinator John Morton was predicating a breakout year for the former first-round pick, because Williams is coming off a breakout season in which he eclipsed…

We’re just a couple days away from the Detroit Lions’ preseason opener in Canton, Ohio, for the Hall of Fame game, and coach Dan Campbell has an interesting decision on his hands. For most of his tenure, Campbell has opted to rest most—if not all—of his starters during the preseason. When it comes to the…

If you’re a daily reader of our Detroit Lions training camp observations and/or viewer of our daily camp recaps on Pride of Detroit Direct, you may have noticed a lack of Tim Patrick mentions. That’s no accident, as it’s been a slow first week of training camp, and he’ll be the first to point it…

The Detroit Lions welcomed the general public to Allen Park on Monday, as the team once again strapped on their pads and took the field for Day 7 of training camp. The Lions continue to cycle players in and out of practice, with some exiting early and others returning to play. For the second straight…

The Detroit Lions have added to their depth in the secondary by signing cornerback Nick Whiteside, a hometown product from Auburn Hills, Michigan, according to the team Monday morning. A graduate of Avondale High School, Whiteside—originally a wide receiver prospect—went on to enroll at Saginaw Valley State in 2018 and suit up at cornerback. Over…

The Detroit Lions are back at practice after a single day off, and they won’t be alone. The general public has descended down to Allen Park to watch Lions training camp. This is the first practice open to the general public, and given that tickets essentially sold out in minutes, you know this fan base…

With the first week of Detroit Lions training camp in the books, we’ve already started to see the team’s roster bubble shift. When we opened our Bubble Watch predictions last week, we assumed there were 40 players who were safe. That number has already dropped a few to 37. In other words, due to competition…
