Denzel Mims’ brief time is almost up in Detroit. Less than a month after swinging a trade with the New York Jets to acquire the 25-year-old receiver, the Lions have placed Mims on waivers with an injury designation, the team announced Friday. In a corresponding roster move, the team is signing former Los Angeles Chargers
Denzel Mims isn’t “in the room” anymore. A day after Detroit Lions coach Dan Campbell used that foreboding phrase to describe Mims’ spot in the battle for a wide receiver job, the Lions waived Mims with an injury designation Friday. Mims suffered an ankle injury in practice Aug. 5, returned briefly the following week but
News broke early Friday morning that the Detroit Lions are moving on from receiver Denzel Mims, after the former second-round pick missed most of the past two weeks of practice with an injury. Shortly thereafter, news broke via NFL insider Aaron Wilson that the Lions are signing free agent receiver Jason Moore to their 90-man…
According to NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport, the Detroit Lions are waiving receiver Denzel Mims with an injury designation. Detroit traded for Mims from the New York Jets a month ago in the hopes to build up their receiver depth. Though the Lions have their top four settled in Amon-Ra St. Brown, Kalif Raymond, Josh Reynolds,…
Coming off a 21-16 win over the New York Giants in the preseason opener, the Detroit Lions have their home preseason finale on Saturday, taking on the Jacksonville Jaguars. Jacksonville is also coming off a win, beating the Dallas Cowboys 28-23. Both teams aim to start a winning streak and head into the final preseason…
Calvin Ridley is back on the football field after serving a yearlong suspension for violating the NFL’s gambling policy, in a new uniform but otherwise looking like he never left. He’s getting a fresh start with the Jacksonville Jaguars after a tumultuous end to his five years with the Atlanta Falcons, and he’s rooting for
One day, I hope to stop writing about all the drama that surrounds Jameson Williams like an ever-present cloud of gloom, a hazy veil that obscures our view of his potential. I hope to stop writing about his mistakes, his missteps, his route-running, his potential, his drops and injuries. Honestly, I’m getting tired of it.
For any players who have been on the Detroit Lions roster beyond this past season or two, things were a little rough. Not only was winning limited, but the culture was that of a losing team. In comes general manager Brad Holmes and coach Dan Campbell, along with new ownership in Sheila Hamp, and things…
Allen Park — You know it’s the middle of training camp when you can’t keep your days straight. Dan Campbell had that problem this week, as he fumbled an answer about one of his starters, center Frank Ragnow, returning to practice Monday. “Yeah, just to have Frank back yesterday,” Campbell said, before stopping to think.
C.J. Gardner-Johnson is a ball of energy on the field, always moving, always talking, always in the middle of things. And if you’re on the opposing team, probably always getting under your skin. Gardner-Johnson was at the center of the Detroit Lions‘ second joint practice with the Jacksonville Jaguars on Thursday, a practice that turned
Allen Park — Here are some notes and observations from Thursday’s joint training camp practice between the Detroit Lions and Jacksonville Jaguars. Note: To fully capture this practice, John Niyo and I split the two fields. I stuck with Detroit’s defense for the day, while John kept eyes on the offense. Each observation will include the
Allen Park — One of a handful of starting jobs still up in the air for the Detroit Lions is the right guard spot, being contested between veterans Halapoulivaati Vaitai and Graham Glasgow. Vaitai, the incumbent, looked like the early favorite, but after a short injury absence the two have largely split the first-team reps
Allen Park — When the Lions released their first unofficial depth chart last week, some were surprised to see Romeo Okwara listed as a third-string defensive end. But it made more sense when you realized that’s where most of his practice reps had come the first couple weeks of training camp. He also wasn’t given
