Before the Detroit Lions signed veteran long snapper Jake McQuaide this offseason, they told the two-time Pro Bowler he would have to beat out incumbent Scott Daly to win a spot on the 53-man roster. Any ties would go to Daly, who was younger and cheaper entering his third NFL season. “They said you got
Allen Park – Expectations are as high as they’ve ever been for the Lions. Perhaps you’ve heard them. Division favorites. National TV mainstays. Super Bowl sleepers.

Allen Park — Here are some notes and observations from Saturday’s Detroit Lions’ training camp practice. ▶ Another practice, another injury for the Lions.

Allen Park — Two years after unseating longtime Detroit Lions long snapper Don Muhlbach, Scott Daly finds himself on the other side of a training camp competition.

Allen Park — For the first time this training camp, Detroit Lions cornerback Emmanuel Moseley was on the sideline taking in practice as he continues to work his way back from last season’s ACL injury.

Allen Park — It’s too early to tell what the fate of undrafted cornerback Starling Thomas will be.

Allen Park — To address depth concerns created by a pair of recent injuries, the Detroit Lions added wide receiver Avery Davis and cornerback Tae Hayes to the roster ahead of Saturday’s training camp practice.

Today marks Day 14 of Detroit Lions training camp, and while two weeks is hardly enough time to say anything declarative on the Lions’ biggest roster battles, it’s plenty enough time to check in and see how things have changed. The Lions have had 10 practices so far, including a jog-through after their first two
Dan Campbell worries the “hype train” is outta control. That makes sense if you suit up for the Detroit Lions’ head coach. Not that he’s trying to manage your expectations, or even his players; he wants them to have big goals, and to believe. He’s just trying to keep his guys focused. Coaches do that,
The Detroit Lions signed cornerback Tae Hayes on Friday, one day after Jarren Williams suffered a potentially serious leg injury.

Dylan Drummond thought his NFL dream was over, the first leg of it at least.

Camp ended, the
Allen Park — Reviewing the film from the team’s walk-through practice earlier in the day, Lions receiver Amon-Ra St. Brown goes through a routine of dissecting his performance, scouring the tape for any areas he could improve.

Allen Park — Kerby Joseph has nowhere to go but up. At least in his own mind. And for anyone who watched the second-year Lions safety in his rookie year, in which he sealed a season-ending win over the Green Bay Packers at Lambeau Field, it might be clear Joseph has potential to become a
Allen Park — For the first time in the history of Ford Field, the Detroit Lions have completely sold out of season tickets for the 2023 season.

(Jared Goff) running the huddle
For as long as I can remember, the Detroit Lions have held one of their training camp practices at Ford Field. The idea has always been to bring practices to more fans — Ford Field’s capacity of about 65,000 dwarfs the Allen Park experience, where 2,500 people can comfortably squeeze in — and give new
