During the Detroit Lions’ 52-6 blowout win over the Jacksonville Jaguars in Week 11, fans might have noticed No. 47 in Honolulu Blue racing all over the field on special teams. That was Ezekiel Turner, signed to the active roster after a stint on the Lions’ practice squad. Turner had a very impressive game on

In a minor move at the bottom of the roster, the Detroit Lions made a swap of safeties on the team’s practice squad. On the incoming side, Detroit added Kaevon Merriweather to the practice squad. Erick Hallett has now been released from Detroit. Merriweather has extensive NFL experience on special teams in his two seasons
Jared Goff is in the midst of a fantastic season statistically. The Lions quarterback is putting up incredible numbers across the statistical spectrum. In Detroit’s Week 11 romp over Jacksonville, Goff became the first quarterback in NFL history to post two games with at least 400 passing yards, 4 TDs, and a perfect passer rating.
As the season continues, the Lions defense seems to be getting thinner and thinner amid injuries. The trend continued last week when linebacker Alex Anzalone broke his forearm against the Jaguars; he will be out 6-8 weeks. The Lions now have to fill a hole at linebacker, and Dan Campbell calls upon Malcolm Rodriguez. “Yeah,
In their last game, the Lions lost Alex Anzalone for a few weeks due to a forearm fracture. Fortunately, the Wednesday report offers no other significant injuries coming out of the Jaguars game (see my postgame report for injury videos). While the Colts injury report is short, they are hurting along the offensive line with
Something very unusual happened at the Detroit Lions practice facility in Allen Park on Wednesday. Every single player on the active roster practiced. All 53 players, including freshly activated defensive tackle Brodric Martin, were designated as full participants in Wednesday’s session, which was a walkthrough instead of a full contact practice. Five players did get
The Detroit Lions and Indianapolis Colts feature in a cross-conference NFL clash in Week 12, one that still weighs heavily for both sides. Don’t miss out on your opportunity to check it out live. The Lions (9-1) are fresh off a blowout victory over the Jacksonville Jaguars to tune of a 52-6 final. While Detroit
Brodric Martin is back on the Detroit Lions active roster. The Lions activated the second-year defensive tackle from injured reserve at the end of his return window. Martin has missed the entire season to this point after suffering a knee injury in Detroit’s preseason finale. He was designated to return on October 31st, meaning the
Lions running back Jahmyr Gibbs is fast. Glad we got that out of the way. There’s a reason he’s now known as Sonic with David Montgomery as Knuckles. Thanks to Zebra Technology/Next Gen Stats, we have some actual numbers to prove how fast he is. For example, Gibbs reached a speed of 21.8 miles per
No, it’s not a misprint. The Detroit Lions did indeed place safety Ifeatu Melifonwu on injured reserve on Tuesday. Yes, it’s also true the Lions activated Melifonwu from I.R. on Monday. What gives? Melifonwu is back on I.R. for at least four more weeks with a finger injury. He had previously missed all of the
During the Detroit Lions runaway 52-6 win over the Jacksonville Jaguars, head coach Dan Campbell kept his key starters in the game into the fourth quarter. The outcome had long been decided, but Jared Goff, Penei Sewell, Brian Branch, Alim McNeill and other prominent starters were still out there running wild and free over the
Teddy Bridgewater made an indelible mark on the Detroit Lions in his short time with the team. Detroit’s backup quarterback in the 2023 season was a joyous fountain of sage football wisdom to all around him, from teammates to coaches to reporters. The oft-injured NFL vagabond retired after last season. Now Bridgewater is using that
After a roller coaster of a win in Week 10 against the Houston Texans, the Lions left no doubt in Week 11 in their 52-6 win over the Jacksonville Jaguars. Thanks to the Buffalo Bills handing the Kansas City Chiefs their first loss of the season, the Lions are now tied for the best record
To put it in layman’s terms, Sunday was a straight throttling by the Lions against the Jacksonville Jaguars. Detroit hit 52 points for the second time this season, scored their largest margin of victory in franchise history (46 points) and also handed Jacksonville their largest defeat in franchise history, putting head coach Doug Pederson’s future
