With the start of the 49ers season just days away, I’m eager to share my recollections of some of the most unforgettable Niners games I’ve witnessed. The following is the first installment of From the Stands. I’m not just sharing my memories but inviting you to be part of this journey, making this a collective

The 2024 offseason has been defined by the Lions’ willingness to extend several in-house players. Each of the team’s major new deals worked out over the past few months have come on the offensive side of the ball and attention has now turned to one of Detroit’s ascending defenders. Lions general manager Brad Holmes confirmed

Bears Bears first-round QB Caleb Williams had an impressive preseason showing where he displayed his ability to improvise and make big plays. Chicago GM Ryan Poles is okay with Williams making the wild plays as long as it makes sense in that context. “I think that’s kind of the big thing,” Poles said, via the

In the grand scheme of things, the 2023 Detroit Lions enjoyed a successful season despite squandering a 24-7 halftime lead en route to losing the NFC Championship game to the San Francisco 49ers.  Lions quarterback Jared Goff nevertheless still has a bitter taste in his mouth because, as he recently told Greg Bishop of Sports Illustrated, “we didn’t win” the

The biggest reason the Lions have been successful recently is that their draft picks are living up to and sometimes exceed expectations. However, that can’t be said for all of Detroit’s selections.  Wide receiver Jameson Williams, the team’s first-round pick (No. 12) in 2022, has disappointed in his first two years in the NFL, during

The Detroit Lions season is right around the corner. Before we get into it, I thought i might be fun to take one last look at another insane trade proposal put out by an NFL writer. We found a crazy one for sure.  Marisa Myers of TWSN is saying that she believes the Lions will

The Detroit Lions cleared a spot on the practice squad early Thursday morning when they released veteran safety C.J. Moore. They already have a replacement by signing Erik Hallett. The 24-year-old Hallett was a sixth-round pick by the Jaguars in the 2023 NFL Draft. He spent last season on the team’s practice squad. He was

The Detroit Lions had to do a lot of maneuvering to get around the NFL’s roster rules. That included only officially signing 15 players to their practice squad Friday and making the Donovan Peoples-Jones signing official Thursday.  It also included keeping John Cominsky on the 53-man roster until Thursday so they could put him on

Former Tennessee Vols quarterback Hendon Hooker made the Detroit Lions’ initial 53-man roster this week.  Hooker, a third round selection by the Lions in the 2023 NFL Draft, missed all of his rookie season while recovering from the torn ACL he suffered at Tennessee in 2022.  The former Vol returned to the field this summer

It’s the totally unexpected things that can sometimes be the coolest things. Stuff like Jake Fromm locking down a job with the Lions despite every conceivable thing being against the possibility of it happening.  Hendon Hooker takes a bad hit against the Giants and the Lions say they’re looking to add a quarterback right before

One of the biggest themes of the offseason for the Detroit Lions was that they had a receiver problem. That problem has been theoretically solved at this point, but it sounds like it could have been solved a bit earlier.  Lions GM Brad Holmes met with the media bright and early Thursday morning and said

Allen Robinson II is officially back in the NFC North. The Detroit Lions announced Wednesday that they have signed Robinson. The veteran wide receiver will be joining Detroit’s practice squad. Robinson, 31, is a former second-round draft pick and was named a Pro Bowler in 2015. He has posted three separate seasons of 1,000 yards
