More than 2,500 fans flocked to Allen Park on Saturday morning to get a glimpse of the Detroit Lions as they prepare for the 2023 season. Some lined up as early as 6 a.m. in the rain to get a seat for the first day of training camp open to the public. Head coach Dan
The Detroit Lions surprised some when they left April’s NFL draft without addressing the cornerback position. They missed on the draft’s top cornerback, Illinois’ Devon Witherspoon, with the sixth pick; he went to the Seattle Seahawks at No. 5. They passed on Oregon’s Christian Gonzalez, the draft’s No. 2 corner, for running back Jahmyr Gibbs

It’s fitting that the closest thing the Detroit Lions have to a star is Penei Sewell, an offensive lineman who’s young, tough and talented. Those three traits embody what the Lions have become under Dan Campbell, just as Campbell and Brad Holmes envisioned when they started rebuilding one of the NFL’s losingest franchises 30 months
Nate Sudfeld lost his job with the San Francisco 49ers last summer when the team made a training camp tweak to its backup quarterback competition, reworking Jimmy Garoppolo’s contract to keep him and rookie Brock Purdy on the roster behind starter Trey Lance. Sudfeld said this week he isn’t worried about history repeating itself with
Dan Campbell took his hat off, wiped his mouth, then shared a story before the Detroit Lions‘ first padded practice of training camp Friday, about his first day in pads as a rookie tight end with the New York Giants 24 years ago. Campbell was a third-round pick out of Texas A&M, so he wasn’t
C.J. Gardner-Johnson is still out with the knee injury he suffered on Day 2 of training camp, but the Detroit Lions got two injured players back for their first padded practice of summer Friday. Lions coach Dan Campbell said before practice that safety Brian Branch would return from a foot injury and offensive guard Halapoulivaati

Justin Jackson did not lack for suitors when he became a free agent in March, but while a handful of NFL teams were interested in signing him as a backup running back/kick returner/jack-of-all-trades insurance policy, most were offering veteran-minimum type deals. Jackson averaged 4 yards per carry as the Detroit Lions’ No. 3 running back
For Malcolm Rodriguez, the biggest difference between his first NFL training camp and his second is obvious. “Less cameras,” Rodriguez said Tuesday. The star of last year’s camp thanks to the HBO docuseries “Hard Knocks,” Rodriguez has flown much further under the radar this summer. A 15-game starter at linebacker for the Detroit Lions last
The most important person who will determine the Detroit Lions’ success this year walked up to the lectern in Allen Park on Wednesday and said something that wasn’t true. No, it wasn’t Dan Campbell or Brad Holmes. It wasn’t Jared Goff or Amon-Ra St. Brown. It wasn’t even Sheila Hamp. It was Ben Johnson, the
Sam LaPorta has made the transition from college to the NFL look easy, but when a reporter mentioned how smooth things seem to have gone for him after the Detroit Lions‘ fourth practice of training camp Wednesday, the rookie tight end said that was hardly the case. “I think those are your words, not mine,”
Frank Ragnow’s toe is feeling good, but the Detroit Lions are dealing with another injury on their potential starting offensive line. Right guard Halapoulivaati Vaitai sat out practice Wednesday with an undisclosed injury. Vaitai did not finish practice Tuesday, but said on his way off the field he would be fine. He watched practice from

Teddy Bridgewater’s free agent visit with the Detroit Lions came and went this week without a contract agreement. The Lions have a starting quarterback in place they trust in Jared Goff, a backup Dan Campbell likes in Nate Sudfeld, and a future lottery ticket in Hendon Hooker who is taking things slowly in his return
Listening to Amon-Ra St. Brown talk, watching him work, and knowing how he can turn the slightest of slights into a bottomless tank of jet fuel, it’s impossible not to think of Michael Jordan or Kobe Bryant. St. Brown is coming off one of the most productive two-year stretches any receiver has had to start
As the rest of their teammates went through stretching and position drills, three Detroit Lions spent the early part of NFL training camp practice Tuesday in Allen Park working on the back field alone with a trainer in the end zone. Marvin Jones, who is on the nonfootball injury list with a back injury, ran
