Pride of Detroit

The Detroit Lions made a flurry of roster moves, but it’s highlighted by the activation of safety Ifeatu Melifonwu from injured reserve. Melifonwu is officiallly listed as questionable to play on Sunday against the Chicago Bears, but his activation is a good sign he’ll play for the first time this season. Melifonwu has been dealing…

With the postseason closing in on us, the NFL is expanding its range of viewing and has scheduled two games that will be played on Saturday in Week 16. In the 1 p.m. ET viewing slot, the Houston Texans will take on the Kansas City Chiefs and will be followed by the Pittsburgh Steelers and…

The Detroit Lions have a lot of injuries right now, but for many of the positions, it’s clear how the Lions will proceed. With no David Montgomery, we’ll almost certainly see more Craig Reynolds. Along the interior of the defensive line, Levi Onwuzurike is a natural replacement for Alim McNeill.

On Friday, Detroit Lions coach Dan Campbell provided some injury updates for the future. For one, Campbell confirmed reports that running back David Montgomery got some good news and hopes to avoid surgery and come back for a playoff run. That said, Campbell said the team is still debating whether to put him on injured…

The Detroit Lions (12-2) are back on the road in Week 16, traveling with the division to take on their rival, the Chicago Bears (4-10). Detroit won the first battle between these two teams in Week 13, and like the Lions, we’ll revisit our previous game plan to see what worked.

The Detroit Lions look to get back on track after dropping just their second game of the season last week against the Buffalo Bills. The Lions have not lost two games in a row since their 1-6 start to the 2022 season, and this week they face off against the Chicago Bears team that is…

Time flies when you are having fun, right? With only three weeks remaining in the regular season, the Detroit Lions are still firmly in control of their own destiny at 12-2 atop the NFC. All they need to do is handle their business these next few weeks, and everything will line up just the way…

More Detroit Lions football is right around the corner, and we would never pass up the opportunity to get some intel from the opponent’s perspective. We called on Bill Zimmerman once again from WindyCityGridiron.com to give us some insight into the Chicago Bears, the difference a month makes for a team with an interim head…

Week 16 begins with an AFC West rivalry as the Denver Broncos (9-5) travel to California to take on the Los Angeles Chargers (8-6) on “Thursday Night Football.” Entering this game, the Broncos currently sit in the No. 6 seed in the AFC playoff standings, while the Chargers are comfortably in the No. 7 seed,…

We’re entering the final stretch of NFL football, and with just three weeks left, wins are at a premium as teams make their push in playoff and divisional races. Here at Pride of Detroit, our staff have made their picks for not only Thursday night’s game, but the entire slate of Week 16 games.

The Detroit Lions got some positive injury news on Thursday, as veteran linebacker Jalen Reeves-Maybin returned to practice. Reeves-Maybin remains on injured reserve after suffering a neck injury against the Green Bay Packers, but now the Lions have 21 days to evaluate him at practice. He is eligible to come off IR whenever the Lions…

The Detroit Lions have the No. 1 scoring offense in football through 15 weeks, and offensive coordinator Ben Johnson continues to be a hot name for potential head coaching jobs available in 2025. During his weekly press conference, Johnson was asked for the first time this season about becoming a head coach, and he reiterated…

Detroit Lions coach Dan Campbell offered updates on a pair of players who have yet to suit up for the team this year, and the news was mixed. Lions safety Ifeatu Melifonwu, who has missed the entire season with a groin and finger injury, has opened his 21-day practice window on Wednesday and is now…

On Monday, Detroit Lions coach Dan Campbell said running back David Montgomery’s season was likely over as his MCL injury was headed toward surgery. On Wednesday, the tune was very different. After the Lions opted not to place Montgomery on injured reserve Tuesday, Campbell explained that the running back is seeking a third medical opinion…

The Detroit Lions’ injury situation is somehow getting worse and worse. Just when it looked like the Lions may have gotten through the worst of it—getting Levi Onwuzurike, DJ Reader, and Josh Paschal back last week—the injury gods struck them down again. Against the Buffalo Bills, the Lions lost Carlton Davis, Alim McNeill, and Khalil…

When your team has nothing left to play for, all you can do is try to ruin other people’s fun. The Detroit Lions did it back in 2022. After missing the playoffs, they had nothing to play for in Week 18 going up against the Green Bay Packers. Just because you have nothing to play…

Week 15 was not kind to the Detroit Lions. Not only did they drop their game against the Buffalo Bills and suffer four season-ending injuries, but the teams the Lions needed to lose didn’t. Our Week 15 rooting guide went 0-7 on Sunday and Monday, and it’s left the Lions in a much tighter playoff…

It’s not that the Detroit Lions lost against the Buffalo Bills—or even the manner in which they were beat. Lions fans are bumming this week because in addition to the loss—and wins by the Eagles and Vikings—Detroit suffered four serious injuries against the Bills, further depleting their already-patchworked roster.

The Detroit Lions announced on Tuesday the placement of three players on injured reserve: defensive tackle Alim McNeill, cornerback Carlton Davis, and cornerback Kahlil Dorsey. On Monday, Lions coach Dan Campbell confirmed that all three players suffered serious injuries, two of which will require surgery. McNeill reportedly has a torn ACL, Davis suffered a broken…
