An already abbreviated Detroit Lions injury list looked a bit better on Thursday. One of two players who was limited in Wednesday’s practice was back out and participating in the portion of practice open to the media. Safety Ifeatu Melifonwu was back for the open part, an indication he is trending in the right direction
The Detroit Lions held their second practice of Week 1 on Thursday, as they prepare to take on the Los Angeles Rams on “Sunday Night Football.” Despite having as many as 15 players dealing with injuries at the end of training camp, the Lions have managed their rehabilitation well and the majority of players returned…
The Detroit Lions had a receiver problem all summer long. While they very well may have fixed that problem with the additions of Tim Patrick and Allen Robinson, both those guys are not guys the Lions could have long term futures with since they’re both in their 30’s already. There is a player that just
It’s always been a challenge to cover the Detroit Lions press conferences of the coordinators. Aaron Glenn, Dave Fipp, and Ben Johnson take the podium back-to-back-to-back in the span of 90 minutes, and with it being so late in the week, it’s hard to comprehensively cover every notable thing they say.
Preseason prop bets are a fun way to put your money where your mouth is for the upcoming season. With the NFL season kicking off on Thursday night, there’s precious little time to get those futures bets on a ticket. The sportsbook at BetMGM has a few season prop bets for the Detroit Lions on
With all the positive predictions surrounding the Detroit Lions this offseason—including a non-insignificant amount of Super Bowl picks—I figured it’s worth pointing out one of the few detractors out there.

The Detroit Lions will kick off their 2024 season with a fitting opponent in the Los Angeles Rams, who they defeated in the playoffs just eight months prior. The two teams will face off in the first “Sunday Night Football” game of the 2024 season, and there are several big matchups to keep an eye…
It’s a new season for the Detroit Lions and with a new season comes a new weekly article series. Every week we’ll go over the one big advantage the Lions have over their opponent and what could bring home the win that week. As far as Week 1 goes, this is the big advantage this
Matthew Stafford’s return to Detroit following the 2021 trade that sent him to the Los Angeles Rams came during last season’s playoffs. And when the Rams and Lions squared off in an NFC wild-card matchup, Stafford received an earful from the fan base of his former team, with Detroit pulling out a 24-23 victory. On
Earlier in the week, Erik Schlitt and I recorded a podcast answering all of your Detroit Lions questions for Week 1. Well, not all of them. There were plenty of leftover questions, and beginning this year, I wanted to try and commit to doing both a podcast mailbag and a written mailbag each week. No…
The Lions invested heavily in their offensive line this offseason, giving new contracts to Penei Sewell and Taylor Decker while also adding Kevin Zeitler to replace Jonah Jackson. Why? Because the unit is very good. So good in fact, that Pro Football Focus’s Zoltan Buday ranked the group as the No. 1 offensive line in
Last July we sat down and took a look at the Detroit Lions offense and projected what the statistical outcome for most of the players would be. We came fairly close on some of the projections. Of course some players went over our projections. We’re looking in the direction of Sam LaPorta and Jahmyr Gibbs on
For years, Aaron Donald has been the focal point for all blocking against the Los Angeles Rams defense. Donald earned that respect, racking up eight All-Pro nods and three AP Defensive Player of the Year honors in his 10 seasons. Donald is now retired, and the Rams defense will look markedly different without him in
