Jared Goff did not practice again for the Lions on Friday, so it’s lined up to be Tim Boyle time Sunday against the Cleveland Browns. A limited Jared Goff was further limited by an oblique injury for most of the Lions’ Week 10 tie of the Pittsburgh Steelers. He missed practice on Wednesday, ceding first-team

As the Lions pass rush has gone scarce over the last few weeks, and Julian Okwara is ready to play more. The Detroit Lions defense has gone without a sack in back-to-back games, and their only sack in their last three came from Julian Okwara against the Rams in Week 7. The last time they

Jeff Driskel started three games under center for the Lions a couple years ago, and now he’s changing positions with the Houston Texans. Jeff Driskel has made the rounds since being drafted in the sixth round of the 2016 NFL Draft by the San Francisco 49ers. The Cincinnati Bengals picked him up that year after

NFL Network’s Tom Pelissero has tabbed people in the league to form a list of young coaches to watch now or in the future, and a Lions assistant has made the cut. The Detroit Lions are in the first-year of a rebuild, with a first-year head coach and a first-year general manager. In a hypothetical

Sylvanie-USA TODAY Sports The Detroit Lions should be looking hard at wide receivers for the 2022 NFL Draft, and here are five to watch in this weekend’s college football action. The Detroit Lions went toward the bottom of the barrel for wide receiver free agents last offseason, and even the lowest

The Detroit Lions certainly could use a franchise quarterback, but finding one in the 2022 draft doesn’t look to be easy. The Detroit Lions will not go 0-17. But that doesn’t mean they will find a way to win a game in the midst of this disappointing season either. Last Sunday in Pittsburgh the Lions

Circumstances led to a huge workload for D’Andre Swift in Week 10, but there’s no denying he is the Lions’ workhorse. With Jamaal Williams (thigh) out for a second straight game, D’Andre Swift was in line for a bigger workload than usual in Week 10 against the Pittsburgh Steelers. Add bad weather in Pittsburgh, quarterback

After a dud week in Week 10, will Lions tight end T.J. Hockenson bounce back for his fantasy managers this week? The Detroit Lions only threw the ball 25 times in Week 10 against the Pittsburgh Steelers, with bad weather, a productive running game and an injured Jared Goff combining to create the situation.

After NFL teams descended upon Heinz Field last week, Kenny Pickett looks more and more like the ideal quarterback for the Detroit Lions to draft come April.

The Detroit Lions basically can’t go wrong however they use their two 2022 first-round picks, and a recent mock has them going defense all the way. The Detroit Lions will have two first-round picks in April, one early (their own) and one lined up to be late (via the Matthew Stafford trade with the Rams).

The Lions of course traded Matthew Stafford to the Los Angeles Rams, but the case that a deal to another team would have been better is out there. When it became inevitable the Detroit Lions would trade Matthew Stafford last offseason, the list of teams with possible interest was long enough to ensure a solid

Taylor Decker made his season debut on Sunday, and on Monday he unburdened his mind.

Penei Sewell moved over the right tackle for the Lions on Sunday, and held up very well against T.J. Watt. With the return of Taylor Decker to his post at left tackle, and despite some calls for him to stay put and Decker to move, Penei Sewell indeed moved to right tackle on Sunday against

The Detroit Lions did not win on Sunday, but at least their losing streak is techically over. The Detroit Lions did not lose to the Pittsburgh Steelers on Sunday, but they also didn’t win. It was a bizarre contest that finishd in a 16-16 tie. It was a cold, rainy game, and in typical Lions’
