Pride of Detroit

The Detroit Lions have nearly 50 players who could be subject to waivers as they look to cut down from 91 players to 53 by the August 26 deadline and beyond. Of course, several players on their rookie contracts should be safe from getting waived, such as running back Jahmyr Gibbs and tight end Sam…

The Detroit Lions’ 2025 rookie class had one final chance to prove themselves in the preseason matchup against the Houston Texans. With several roster spots still up for grabs, the competition is fierce, but did any of these rookies make a strong enough case to secure a place on the Lions’ 53-man roster?

When the Detroit Lions drafted Isaac TeSlaa in the third round—ahead of most NFL Draft experts’ projections—it was a common narrative that he would come in raw and be a bit of a project. Having played mostly in the slot, the 6-foot-4 receiver was clearly brought in to play on the outside in Detroit. And…

The Detroit Lions concluded their evaluation of their 91-man roster on Saturday afternoon with their final preseason game against the Houston Texans. Let’s take a look at the snap counts from the game to see if we can gather any hints about how the Lions may finalize their roster cuts to create a 53-man squad.

With the Detroit Lions’ final preseason game on the books, the front office and coaching staff are now tasked with reducing their 91-man roster down to 53 players in preparation for the regular season. Final decisions are due by 4 p.m. ET on Tuesday, but we are expected to see some transactions roll in over…

The evaluation of the Detroit Lions’ 90-man roster has concluded. With the final training camp practice on Thursday and preseason finale on Saturday, players have no more opportunities to prove their value on the 53-man roster. Now it’s up to the coaches and general manager Brad Holmes to get together and build their initial active…

The curtain has closed on the Detroit Lions’ 2025 preseason, but the drama is far from over. Dan Campbell, Brad Holmes, and the rest of the staff have some difficult decisions ahead of them. Roster cuts will begin to roll in within the coming days, and the tape put forth in these preseason games will…

The longest preseason in a while is now over for the Detroit Lions. Ever since the NFL cut down to three preseason games in 2021, the preseason has felt quick, but not this season. The Lions played in four preseason games and with that, training camp started sooner in July. But now a month later,…

Saturday was supposed to be a prime opportunity for the Detroit Lions depth players to shine. With their final opportunity to justify a spot of the 53-man roster—or put out good tape for the other 32 teams—Detroit’s reserves fell flat. Outside of one offensive drive led by Kyle Allen in the first quarter, the Lions…

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. For this preseason game against the Houston Texans, the Lions plan on continuing to rest their starters—they rested 28 players against the Chargers, another 31 against…

While we’re all eager to get to the regular season, the Detroit Lions still have a final preseason game to play on Saturday afternoon against the Houston Texans, and it’s critical for at least a dozen Lions players. As coach Dan Campbell said earlier in the week, there are plenty of positional battles still in…

If you were to ask players from the Detroit Lions, I am sure they would tell you that training camp has felt anything but short. Having began practicing back in July prior to the Hall of Fame game, the team has been at it for a while. However, just as quickly as it began, training…

Two players on the Detroit Lions’ defensive line who are expected to miss regular season time both gave optimistic updates to local reporters on Thursday. I caught up with him briefly, walking off the field, and he confirmed his MRI results were good and he’ll avoid surgery, but it’s too early to say how long…
