Minneapolis — The Detroit Lions had listed four starters as questionable for Sunday’s game against the Minnesota Vikings, but all four are active for the contest. Running back D’Andre Swift, center Frank Ragnow, tight end T.J. Hockenson and defensive end Aidan Hutchinson all will play against the Vikings after battling through injuries during the week.

Minneapolis — The Detroit Lions are elevating offensive lineman Dan Skipper and linebacker Anthony Pittman from the team’s practice squad for Sunday’s game against the Minnesota Vikings. Skipper is presumably in line to start the contest at left guard, filling in for the injured Jonah Jackson (finger) and replaying the role he had in the

Allen Park — After being sidelined the full week of practice, the Detroit Lions will be without Jonah Jackson for a second consecutive week as the team’s starting left guard continues to deal with a finger injury suffered during last week’s non-padded practice. Earlier in the week, Lions coach Dan Campbell said Jackson wouldn’t return

Allen Park — As the Lions chart a path to relevancy, there are going to be certain hurdles they’ll need to overcome. On Sunday, they’ll have an opportunity to show they can clear one of the biggest ones by winning the first road game of Dan Campbell’s tenure as coach. Despite finding a late-season groove

Allen Park — By league standards, the Detroit Lions’ offense has been feasting. But internally, the message in Allen Park doesn’t necessarily reflect that: “I feel like we could have done better, honestly,” receiver Amon-Ra St. Brown said. “We left a lot of meat on the bone, I feel like, in both of those games.”

Allen Park — Containing Vikings wide receiver Justin Jefferson is tricky, not only because of his otherworldly talent but because he’s so tough to track snap to snap. The Vikings do a good job moving Jefferson all around the field. Sure, he does plenty of damage on the outside, where he lines up 54.6% of

Hockenson and Jared Goff seem to be out of sync, what gives? — @roarrestored1 ► Q: At what point should we be concerned over Hockenson not taking that next step in his career? — @DirtyJerzFinest ► Answer:

Allen Park — Can Detroit Lions defensive tackles Alim McNeill and Isaiah Buggs shut down star Minnesota Vikings receiver Justin Jefferson this Sunday? It’s a preposterous question to ask — and yet, it’s not as much of a stretch as you might think. The Lions for one half last Sunday reduced the Washington Commanders’ explosive

The Detroit Lions are dealing with another injury issue coming out of last weekend’s game against Washington, losing defensive lineman John Cominsky to a wrist injury. “Yeah, so he’s going to be down for a little bit,” Lions coach Dan Campbell said ahead of Wednesday’s practice. “He had surgery yesterday and he’ll be down for

Aidan Hutchinson set the Detroit Lions’ rookie record with three sacks in the team’s 37-26 victory over the Washington Commanders last Sunday. That’s great and all, but his position coach was left wanting more. “This game, he was in position to make the plays he did, for the most part,” defensive line coach Todd Wash

Allen Park — Detroit Lions wide receiver Amon-Ra St. Brown is on one heck of a hot streak, and for his more recent performance against the Washington Commanders, he’s been named the NFC’s Offensive Player of the Week. In Sunday’s 36-27 victory over the Commanders, St. Brown hauled in nine passes for 116 yards and two

Allen Park — In Sunday’s victory over the Washington Commanders, the Detroit Lions’ defense was nearly flawless in the first half. The Commanders had eight possessions but didn’t net a single first down until its sixth drive, heading to the locker room with zero points and 56 yards. Replicating that performance in the second half was never

Allen Park — Here are four observations after having a night to ponder the Detroit Lions’ 36-27 victory over the Washington Commanders. First Down Throughout the offseason, a philosophical theme was consistently pushed by Detroit’s coaches, I just didn’t fully pick up on it. Well, that’s not entirely accurate. I heard what was being said, but without action to

Detroit — In a game where the Detroit Lions scored 36 points, had a wide receiver setting franchise and NFL records, and a defense shutting out the opponent in the first half, somehow, it’s the fifth-string guard who is the face of the victory. Dan Skipper has been around these parts for a while, but if

Detroit — Everyone else wanted to talk about the big plays he made Sunday. But Amon-Ra St. Brown couldn’t help himself. He wanted to talk about the one he didn’t make. It was the last time his number was called on another record-setting Sunday for the Lions’ second-year receiver. And the way he saw it,

Detroit — The Detroit Lions can still only dream of having a healthy offensive line. Three of the five starters on the unit missed Sunday’s game against the Commanders at Ford Field. But if there’s a silver lining in what’s been a tumultuous road for the offensive line thus far, it’s this: Lions coach Dan Campbell
