For three months, Aidan Hutchinson lived the glamorous life of being a top NFL draft pick. He did autograph signings and made sponsorship appearances and took part in his own longform podcast, and he got paid handsomely to do it. But the one thing missing, the thing Hutchinson craved most during the pre-draft process —

Ladies and gentlemen, we’ve got ourselves a new Dan Campbell term, and it’s a fantastic one from the Detroit Lions coach. “We are trying to avoid floaters,” Campbell said on Saturday morning before the Lions rookie minicamp. “We don’t want to draft floaters.” No sirree, floaters are bad. Floaters are a waste of human flesh.

Don’t rush out and buy that No. 18 Jameson Williams jersey just yet. There may come a time when you want to hit the team store for a Williams jersey, and maybe that time is now. I’m certainly a believer he will be a difference maker in the Detroit Lions offense sooner than later. But

Dan Campbell got a late jump on scheduling last summer as a first-year head coach, so the Detroit Lions missed out on having joint practices in the preseason. This year, Campbell made sure to set his team up with a work week against a good opponent. The Lions will visit the Indianapolis Colts for joint

The Detroit Lions are the only NFL team that will not play a game in primetime this fall, the second time in three seasons they do not have a Thursday, Sunday or Monday night game on their schedule. And while one prominent league executive admits that “looks odd,” he insisted the Lions’ TV snub was

Maybe this story caught your eye a few days ago. Maybe it didn’t. It came out of nowhere on a random day of midweek access to Detroit Lions veterans who were going through offseason training. Maybe some of them had just finished their lifts. Maybe it was the lingering effects of the post-draft hangover. Maybe

It’s not the two-out, two-run, top-of-the-eighth home run Michael Fulmer gave up that effectively ended the Detroit Tigers‘ game against Oakland Thursday afternoon. It’s not that the A’s — who had one of the worst records in baseball before they met up with the Tigers — just took four of five at Comerica Park. It’s not the

Aidan Hutchinson did not have to move far to start his NFL career, and the Detroit Lions‘ first-round pick will be wearing a familiar number when he steps on the field for rookie minicamp this weekend. Hutchinson will wear No. 97 with the Lions, the same number he wore during his standout career at Michigan.

The Detroit Lions, after spending most of April’s NFL draft fortifying their defense, announced their 12-member undrafted rookie class Friday, a group that leans heavily towards the offensive side of the ball. The Lions, who hold rookie minicamp Friday through Sunday in Allen Park, signed three receivers, three offensive linemen and two tight ends among the

Dan Campbell’s unique personality made the Detroit Lions an appealing choice for “Hard Knocks,” but his team’s woeful performance on the field last season made the Lions persona non grata when it came to setting the primetime TV schedule this fall. The Lions do not have any night games on their 2022 regular season schedule,

Now that the 2022 NFL schedule has been released, the league’s other teams know exactly on which days they will lose to the Detroit Lions, who have promised us they’re planning to win the Super Bowl this season. I’ll pause here while you facepalm yourself so hard that NFL rules require you to enter concussion

Detroit Lions schedule 2022 release with dates, times, TV, channel information. The Lions have nine home games and eight road games, and face the entire NFC East and AFC East, along with fellow last-place teams in three other divisions. Preseason: Week 1: vs. Atlanta Falcons, TBD Week 2: at Indianapolis Colts, TBD Aug. 28: at

The Detroit Lions have made no secret about their goal of winning a Super Bowl this year, but I don’t see it happening in my first glance at this year’s schedule. The Lions have one of the league’s weakest strength of schedules and seem poised to have their best record since 2017, but they still have a

The Detroit Lions signed three more members of their 2022 draft class Thursday, first-round pick Jameson Williams, third-rounder Kerby Joseph and fifth-rounder James Mitchell. Joseph’s agent, Louis Bing, announced his client’s signing on Instagram. Joseph became the first compensatory draft pick to receive maximum compensation under the current collective bargaining agreement, Bing wrote. INSIDE THE DEAL: How

Their confidence is admirable and weirdly not misplaced, even if Wednesday seemed like an odd time to share it with the world. The Detroit Lions are gunning for the Super Bowl this year and … stop with the eye rolls, please … why not them? The team coming off a 3-13-1 season. The team that

The Detroit Lions spent more resources on their receiving corps this offseason than any other position group, an approach welcomed by last year’s No. 1 receiver, Amon-Ra St. Brown. “I think it’s just going to open up more holes in the middle,” St. Brown said Wednesday. “I don’t think we had too much success last year

The Detroit Lions would like to sign Amani Oruwariye to a contract extension this offseason, and the fourth-year cornerback said he “absolutely” wants to get a new deal done as well. “Yeah, I love Detroit,” Oruwariye said Wednesday. “I mean, I love being here. I love everything it’s given me. It’s given me a chance to play

The Detroit Lions waived fourth-string quarterback Steven Montez on Wednesday to free up roster space ahead of this weekend’s rookie minicamp. Montez joined the Lions practice squad last September after backup quarterback Tim Boyle broke his thumb in the preseason. He did not appear in a game.
