On Monday, the Detroit Lions activated veteran receiver Marvin Jones Jr. from the Non-Football Injury list. Jones had been sidelined for the first week of practice with a back injury, but he was seen consistently working and sprinting with trainers since the opening of camp.

Marvin Jones was walking behind an end zone at Detroit Lions practice last week when Jared Goff lofted a ball downfield to Josh Reynolds, who climbed through the air and stretched trying to make a catch over Cam Sutton just as Tracy Walker flew in for a deflection. “I’ve been waiting to get one of
Allen Park — The Detroit Lions took a step closer to full strength, activating wide receiver Marvin Jones off the non-football injury list ahead of Monday’s practice. Re-signed by the Lions after a two-year stint in Jacksonville, the 33-year-old receiver has been dealing with a minor back injury he suffered between mandatory minicamp in mid-June
If there is one position Detroit Lions fans have expressed the most concern about, it’s defensive tackle. Last year, the Lions only carried three defensive tackles on their gameday roster, and their run defense struggled mightily at times. This offseason, the only major change they made was drafting Brodric Martin in the third round, but…
The Detroit Lions completed their first week of training camp, and even though it’s early, there are some facets of the team’s preparation and progression that are encouraging. Of course, there are also some concerns. In fact, there’s one big concern. So let’s start there. (Don’t worry, I promise I’ll get to the positive stuff.)
They were passing time, sitting in the offensive line room one day last week, when Jonah Jackson began to kid Graham Glasgow about his mustache. Do you ever get food stuck in it, Jackson asked the eight-year veteran and senior member of the Detroit Lions‘ offensive line. Glasgow said he sometimes saves flavors for later
Not quite 13 years ago, I stood on a third-floor parking deck housed inside the former Michigan Theater, looking up at the remnants of the once-grand movie palace on the corner of Cass and Bagley, a few blocks from Ford Field. It was December, and snowing, and the Detroit Lions were limping into an early
Starting a new job is always a daunting experience, especially one as high-profile as “NFL player.” Now a week into their first training camp, Detroit Lions rookies Jack Campbell and Jahmyr Gibbs are feeling more acquainted with the team and making the most out of every opportunity. Head coach Dan Campbell said Sunday that, at
Rookie quarterback Hendon Hooker is still a ways away from playing — if he even does this year — but April’s third-round pick has made some very noticeable strides in his recovery from a torn ACL in what have essentially been public rehab workouts over the past week. Hooker took the field with a Detroit
[embedded content] Allen Park — The most memorable scene from the Detroit Lions’ appearance on the HBO series “Hard Knocks” last summer was unquestionably Aidan Hutchinson’s rookie performance, when the defensive end delivered an enthusiastic rendition of Michael Jackson’s “Billie Jean.” It was a rare, behind-the-scenes glimpse at the playful hazing Detroit’s first-year players undergo,
Allen Park — The Detroit Lions talk a lot about having a standard, a base level of expectations for the team’s players on and off the field, but rookie defensive back Brian Branch carries an even higher level of expectation, placed on him by first-year cornerbacks coach Dre Bly. “Coach Bly is an amazing coach,”
Allen Park — Detroit Lions offensive tackle Penei Sewell is currently in concussion protocol, which will keep him out of practice until Wednesday, at the very least. Sewell, a Pro Bowler in 2022, was a surprising absence from the practice field on Saturday. A day earlier, coach Dan Campbell raved about what the young offensive
Detroit Lions right tackle Penei Sewell is in concussion protocol and will miss his second straight practice Sunday. Lions coach Dan Campbell said Sewell won’t return until at least Wednesday under the NFL’s concussion guidelines. Players must be symptom-free and cleared by an independent neurologist before they can return to practice. “But he’s doing good,”
Sunday marks exactly a week since Detroit Lions 2023 training camp opened. Since then, Lions players have had just a single day off. It’s one of the most grueling times of the year for NFL players, but for fans, it’s one of the most fruitful. There’s so much information coming at you, which is why…
