Allen Park — The Detroit Lions have carefully avoided setting any timetables on rookie Jameson Williams’ return, as he continues to work his way back from a torn ACL he suffered in January, while playing in the College Football Playoff championship game for the University of Alabama.

Allen Park — A few days after placing cornerback Bobby Price on injured reserve because of a knee injury, the Detroit Lions are bringing back a familiar face to fill the void on special teams, signing safety C.J. Moore off the Houston Texans’ practice squad. Initially signed as an undrafted free agent out of Mississippi

The story coming out of another Detroit Lions’ loss last Sunday was the five second-half turnovers that wasted an unexpectedly solid defensive performance. After forcing just two punts the previous two weeks, the Dallas Cowboys were limited to 10 points through their first eight possessions, failing to record a first down on four of those

Allen Park — The Detroit Lions’ 24-6 loss to the Dallas Cowboys on Sunday was one of their worst of the year. Based on points allowed, however, it was their best defensive performance of the year — and one player stood out among the rest. “That was Jeff Okudah’s best game since he’s been here,

Allen Park — If the head injury suffered by Detroit Lions receiver Amon-Ra St. Brown on Sunday happened in Weeks 1-3, maybe he would have finished Sunday’s game in Dallas.

Here are four observations after having a night to ponder the Detroit Lions’ 24-6 loss to the Dallas Cowboys. First down We would be foolish to overreact to the small sample size of a single game, but Detroit’s defensive performance in Dallas marked notable improvement from the unit’s early-season results. The Lions held a good Cowboys

Arlington, Texas — It’s the Lions’ never-ending circle of misery. One thing gets fixed, another gets broken. One mistake leads to another mistake, and another, which leads to a desperate comeback attempt, which leads to another loss that we no longer can call inexplicable. It’s actually quite explicable, in a circuitous way. Bad football teams

Arlington, Texas — Justin Rogers of The Detroit News grades the Detroit Lions’ performance in their 24-6 loss to the Dallas Cowboys on Sunday. Quarterbacks The Lions built out a game plan predicated on running the ball and quick passes, and although the offense failed to get into the end zone in the first half,

Arlington, Texas — If it’s not one thing, it’s another with these Detroit Lions. With the Lions’ much-maligned defense playing its best game of the season on Sunday, the offense squandered multiple opportunities and turned the ball over five times, all in the second half, in a 24-6 loss to the Dallas Cowboys at AT&T

Arlington, Texas — The Detroit Lions had hoped keeping D’Andre Swift on the shelf the two weeks prior to the bye would be enough to get the dual-threat running back after the break, but lingering shoulder and ankle injuries kept him on the lineup against the Dallas Cowboys. “Swift was not ready,” coach Dan Campbell

The Lions defense played by far its best game of the season. It got several big stops when it needed to. But of course, it was the offense’s turn to wet the bed. The Lions turned the ball over five times in the second half — four by Jared Goff — in a 24-6 loss

Arlington, Texas — After battling a high-ankle sprain in the weeks leading up to the team’s bye, Detroit Lions wide receiver Amon-Ra St. Brown was back to full strength heading into Sunday’s game against the Dallas Cowboys. But a little more than 10 minutes into the contest, he was knocked from the game with a

Arlington, Texas — The Detroit Lions had hoped keeping D’Andre Swift on the shelf the two weeks prior to the bye would be enough to get the dual-threat running back after the break, but lingering shoulder and ankle injuries will keep him on the lineup against the Dallas Cowboys. Swift suffered the ankle sprain in

The Detroit Lions come out of the bye with a trip to JerryWorld to take on the Dallas Cowboys on Sunday. Dak Prescott is set to return at quarterback for Dallas, which will be a huge boost to the Cowboys offense after Cooper Rush threw three interceptions last week at Philadelphia. The Lions hoped the

Allen Park — The Detroit Lions are getting back two players for Sunday’s game against the Dallas Cowboys, but losing two others for at least the next four weeks.
