After entering the week fairly healthy—with only three players absent from Wednesday’s practice—the Detroit Lions were a little more beat up on Thursday. It’s worth noting that the second joint practice with the Jacksonville Jaguars was just in shells—meaning not full pads—so it’s entirely possible that some of the players who missed Thursday’s practice may…

In the preseason opener, the Detroit Lions rested a majority of their starters, including Jared Goff, the entire starting offensive line, the top wideouts, and just about every projected defensive starter short of a few rookies. After a week of joint practices, the team felt there was little need for their top players to risk…
Jameson Williams’ preseason appears to be over, and the talented Detroit Lions wide receiver likely won’t see the field again until late October. Lions coach Dan Campbell said Williams will not play in Saturday’s preseason game against the Jacksonville Jaguars and is “unlikely” to play in next week’s exhibition finale against the Carolina Panthers because
Allen Park — The Detroit Lions’ plan to “douse” Jameson Williams with preseason reps lasted all of one game. Coach Dan Campbell confirmed a hamstring injury the second-year receiver suffered during Wednesday’s practice likely will sideline Williams for the next two weeks, meaning he’s not likely to see game action again until Week 7 of
To say that Detroit Lions’ star wide receiver Amon-Ra St. Brown has a chip on his shoulder would be putting it lightly. You have seen the clips of St. Brown naming all 16 receivers taken before him in the 2021 NFL Draft, and sure—that is part of what drives him to be as great as…
Frank Ragnow is a new dad, and a private one at that. He prefers to keep his family life out of the spotlight, but a week after his wife, Lucy, gave birth to the couple’s first child, Ragnow said the experience has given him a different perspective on life. “Even just like these long camp
Allen Park — When you’re from Florida, you don’t need a reason to trash talk. In fact, Detroit Lions safety and Cocoa, Fla. native C.J. Gardner-Johnson said the only activity where he doesn’t run his mouth is sleep. So, it shouldn’t come as any surprise, then, when all heck broke loose at Wednesday’s joint practices
The Detroit Lions and Jacksonville Jaguars kicked off a pair of joint practices on Wednesday for a spirited—and fairly evenly-matched—practice. Today, I came in with a bigger focus on the Lions offense, but I’ll try to give some observations on the other side of the field to present a full picture of the opening practice.
Marvin Jones spent a good 10 minutes after the Detroit Lions‘ joint practice Wednesday with the Jacksonville Jaguars catching up with old teammates, and for Jones, the reunion wasn’t confined to after the final horn. Jaguars coach Doug Pederson wandered over to Jones when both were free during a special teams period late in practice,
Only one man in history can say he has won a championship as both a player and a coach of the Detroit Lions. In their long and ancient history, Raymond “Buddy” Parker stands alone—earning his first ring on the gridiron in 1936, and then two more as the Lions coach in the 50s. Now, he’s…
Allen Park — There are a lot of ways to build a winner in the NFL, but the Detroit Lions are definitely swimming against the current with their approach to the running back position. Around the league, teams have become less and less interested in investing in running backs, whether through the draft and free
Allen Park — Former Detroit Lions player and coach Buddy Parker is on the cusp of enshrinement into the Pro Football Hall of Fame after he was selected by the Hall’s Senior Committee on Wednesday as the lone finalist from a group of 12 semifinalists in the coach and contributor category. Parker played with the
Detroit Lions defensive back C.J. Gardner-Johnson has been known to get in the head of the opponent on the field, but even after Wednesday’s practice with the Jacksonville Jaguars was long over, Gardner-Johnson lingered in the mind of receiver Calvin Ridley. During Gardner-Johnson’s media session after practice, Ridley interrupted.
Josh Dubow | Associated Press It looks like former Detroit Lions head coach Buddy Parker’s long wait for the Pro Football Hall of Fame is nearly at an end. Parker, who coached the Lions to back-to-back NFL titles in the 1950s, was picked as a finalist for the Hall’s class of 2024. Parker was announced Wednesday
