The first leak of the Detroit Lions’ 2025 season has dropped and it’s a big one. According to Jordan Schultz, the Lions will open the season on the road against the Green Bay Packers. The Lions and Packers are both coming off somewhat successful seasons. Both teams made the playoffs last year, with the Lions…

It’s fair to call 2024 a breakout season for Detroit Lions first-round pick Jameson Williams. After a lengthy rehab from a torn ACL, some early struggles on the field, and a pair of setbacks via suspensions, Williams needed to prove his worth and did. Williams reached 1,001 yards during the regular season, and showed just…

NFL schedule release is a funny thing, being released in spurts and fits, but we all wait for it because it means preparing for trips and speculating on the nature of a season. It’s not about who, it’s the when that matters in it all. With just a couple days to go, we’re going to…

The Detroit Lions will host their 86th Thanksgiving Day classic, hoping to improve their overall record on the holiday of 38-45-2. But before we can start predicting wins and losses, we need to know who their opponent will be on Thanksgiving. This year, the Lions host eight different teams at Ford Field for the 2025…

The last game of the regular season can sometimes mean everything for a team. Last year, the Detroit Lions won the division and the NFC’s one seed in a huge game against the Minnesota Vikings. While that one seed didn’t end up being as handy as you’d think in the playoffs, it was still one…

The Detroit Lions roster is officially up to 90 players. On Monday, the team announced they had signed three players who were at rookie minicamp as tryout players over the weekend, releasing another. Tight end Luke Deal, wide receiver Malik Taylor, and defensive lineman Raequan Williams are all now officially part of the team. In…

For a few weeks now, the Detroit Lions have been posting photo galleries of daily offseason workouts, but there has been one noticeable absence. Defensive end Aidan Hutchinson hadn’t shown up in a single photo gallery since Detroit started their offseason program on April 22. But for Monday’s gallery (May 12), Hutchinson was front and…

Are the Detroit Lions ready for another season in the national spotlight? Last season, the Lions played seven primetime games. They played on “Sunday Night Football” against the Los Angeles Rams (Week 1), Houston Texans (Week 10), and Minnesota Vikings (Week 18). They had a pair of back-to-back Thursday games in Week 13 and Week…

The NFL schedule release has become one of the bigger days of the offseason. But the NFL is apparently no longer happy with the schedule release being a single moment on a single day. So this year, the NFL has a full week of scheduled releases of games for the 2025 season.

First impressions aren’t everything, but they are something. On Friday, the 2025 Detroit Lions rookie class took the field for the first of three rookie minicamp practices. That’s the only practice we’ll get to see from a media standpoint, so that will be our lasting impression of this rookie class until they take the field…

Detroit Lions first-round pick Tyleik Williams was limited in his first NFL action on the opening day of rookie minicamp. When the team opened up with 11-on-11 walkthroughs, Williams was given limited reps at nose tackle. Then, when the team moved to individual drills, Williams worked one-on-one with a trainer on the hill at the…

On Friday morning, Detroit Lions assistant general manager Ray Agnew mentioned that he was excited about second-round pick Tate Ratledge’s versatility on the interior offensive line. “The first thing you see: this is a big man when you see him. He’s long, tall, big man. But you love the versatility of the player. He can…

While the Detroit Lions kick off rookie minicamp this weekend, one former Lions receiver is trying out for another team. Donovan Peoples-Jones will participate in New Orleans Saints rookie minicamp as one of 16 tryout players. The Saints receiver room currently consists of Chris Olave, Brandin Cooks, Cedrick Wilson Jr., and Rashid Shaheed among others.

With the Detroit Lions rookie minicamp beginning on Friday, the team officially announced the list of undrafted rookies that were signed following the 2025 NFL Draft. We have been keeping a tracker of the Lions’ reported 2025 UDFA signings and even broke down the details of the 10 players reported to be joining the team.

As the Detroit Lions prepare to start rookie minicamp this weekend, the team revealed initial jersey numbers for their entire class of seven NFL Draft picks and their 10 undrafted rookie class (UDFAs). I say initial because it’s important to remember that rookies often change their jersey number once the roster is trimmed from 90…

Without a doubt, the biggest question mark on the Detroit Lions is their defensive line. Lions general manager Brad Holmes has pumped a lot of resources into the position—drafting Alim McNeill, Levi Onwuzurike, Aidan Hutchinson, Josh Paschal, James Houston, Brodric Martin, Mekhi Wingo, and now Tyleik Williams—but there are still plenty of questions at hand.…

Without a doubt, the most controversial pick of the Detroit Lions’ 2025 NFL Draft was their third-round selection of Arkansas receiver Isaac TeSlaa. Not only did the Lions take him ahead of many projections of his draft position, but they used a pair of future third-round picks to move up from 102 to 70 to…

Now a few weeks removed for the Detroit Lions’ 2025 draft, it’s time to finish out our “5 things to know” series with the team’s seventh-round picks. While Georgia’s Dan Jackson and Dominic Lovett may not be in line for starting jobs, both have good chances to make the initial 53-man roster this year. They…

Meko and I (Morgan) are back over on the Pride of Detroit YouTube Channel giving our thoughts on Detroit Lions’ safety Kerby Joseph’s contract extension. If you are looking for a written breakdown of the deal, be sure to check out Jeremy’s article that details everything you need to know.

Detroit Lions general manager Brad Holmes never shies away from trading for players he likes, whether that’s moving up or down. It can come at a steep cost, but that is easily forgotten if the picks pan out. While there was a less than enthusiastic response to the price the Lions paid to trade up…
