The Detroit Lions could be getting one starting wide receiver back for Sunday’s game against the New England Patriots, but another will be out. DJ Chark will miss his second straight game Sunday with soreness in his surgically-repaired left ankle. Chark missed last week’s loss to the Seattle Seahawks, but told the Free Press on

Usually Dan Campbell is a fan of the midseason bye week. This year, the Detroit Lions coach is thrilled to have his bye early in the season. Top receiver Amon-Ra St. Brown returned to practice Friday for the first time since spraining his ankle in a Week 3 loss to the Minnesota Vikings, but the
FOXBORO — The story of how Tom Kennedy was discovered by the NFL is as remarkable as his journey itself. A dual-sport athlete at Bryant, Kennedy starred in Smithfield as a midfielder on the lacrosse team and as a receiver on the football team. His performance on the gridiron was extraordinary as Kennedy left Bryant’s
Yeah, yeah, the defense is bad — historically so — and it’s the story of the Detroit Lions season. Oh, and the reason they are 1-3 heading into Sunday’s game at New England. Now that we’ve got that cleared up, let’s consider another story that’s percolatin’ over in Allen Park, where a quarterback who once
Heartbroken after a Week 4 overtime loss to the Green Bay Packers, Bill Belichick’s New England Patriots return home to play host to coach Dan Campbell and the Detroit Lions. Without starting quarterback Mac Jones and possibly backup Brian Hoyer due to injuries, the Patriots may be forced to play third-string rookie Bailey Zappe in
The Detroit Lions‘ current special teams coach has great affinity for one of his predecessors at the position. Lions special teams coordinator Dave Fipp turned a question about special teams ace Chris Board into a soliloquy on New England Patriots coach Bill Belichick at the start of his weekly media session Thursday. Belichick, an assistant
Aaron Glenn has been here before, as a young cornerback playing in the media capital of the world. Glenn was coming off his first Pro Bowl in 1998 when his New York Jets played an important late-season game against the same Seattle Seahawks organization that lit up Glenn’s Detroit Lions defense for 48 points and
DJ Chark said there is nothing structurally wrong with his surgically repaired left ankle, and the Detroit Lions wide receiver hopes to return to action Sunday after sitting out last week’s loss to the Seattle Seahawks. “It’s better,” Chark said in the locker room after practice Wednesday. “What’s today, Wednesday? Times 10 (better) than last
The Detroit Lions kicking game has cost the team valuable points and field position for two consecutive weeks, and possibly, wins. Last week was Dominik Eberle. The second-year kicker from Utah State was moved to the active roster once it was clear Austin Seibert (groin) couldn’t play. Special teams coordinator Dave Fipp said the team
The smoke goes off and the crowd screams as Josh Reynolds emerges out of the tunnel in the northwest corner of Ford Field. The Detroit Lions wide receiver lifts one leg up to a 90-degree angle, cocks his arms to the side at a 45 and yells out a scream. Or maybe, it’s a hiss.

Maybe he’s thinking too much. Maybe he’s being asked to do too much. Or maybe the game is still moving too fast and everything is just too complicated for a rookie with just a few games under his belt. Aidan Hutchinson isn’t the main reason why the Detroit Lions have won just one game. But
Dan Campbell said personnel changes were coming to his league-worst defense this week. One of those changes involves moving players around on the defensive line. Undrafted rookie defensive lineman Demetrius Taylor is in line to make his NFL debut Sunday when the Detroit Lions visit the New England Patriots. And after playing inside at defensive
The Detroit Lions tried doing things the “The Patriot Way” for 2½ years in the Bob Quinn-Matt Patricia era. Lions fans know all too well how that turned out. While it wasn’t emulated well in Detroit, Bill Belichick’s style has been widely successful in New England, resulting in six Super Bowl victories since 2001. One
The Detroit Lions are still dealing with a rash of injuries to their most important skill position players. The Lions practiced Wednesday without four of their top five receivers, No. 1 running back D’Andre Swift and tight end T.J. Hockenson, though Lions coach Dan Campbell said most everyone in that group is feeling “a little
Rookie defensive lineman Josh Paschal made his practice debut Wednesday, but the Detroit Lions are “still looking at a while” before they get Paschal’s draft classmate, wide receiver Jameson Williams, on the field. Lions coach Dan Campbell indicated Wednesday that Williams is several weeks from being cleared to practice, though Campbell said Williams is “really
Tell me if any of this sounds familiar. The Detroit Lions were 1-3. They couldn’t stop the run, couldn’t get to the quarterback, couldn’t force interceptions. They had a historically awful defense; didn’t have enough playmakers and weren’t getting much out of their draft picks. They ranked near the bottom in most defensive NFL categories,
Aaron Glenn has never waivered in the type of defensive coordinator he wants to be. “I think you guys have known me for the past year,” Glenn said last month. “I like to go after people, and that’s just who I am. And I don’t know if that’s changing anytime soon.” The Detroit Lions rank
The Detroit Lions have a new kicker, and it was not one of the four they worked out on Tuesday. The Lions signed veteran kicker Michael Badgley to the practice squad, one day after he was released by the Chicago Bears. NFL Network first reported the signing. The #Lions are signing kicker Michael Badgley to
We’re a quarter of the way through the NFL season, or thereabouts with the 17-game schedule, which means it’s a good time to take stock in what’s happening around the league. The Philadelphia Eagles have been the class of the NFL so far. They are the league’s only unbeaten team, their total margin of victory
