Allen Park — With the NFL reportedly investigating a fifth Detroit Lions player for violating the league’s gambling policy, the team is taking an active approach to making sure these issues don’t come up again. “I think, for us, it’s much more an emphasis from us, as opposed to just leaving it to the league,”

Allen Park — Kerby Joseph isn’t a gambler, so he didn’t have any interest in discussing the league’s gambling policy. He also didn’t object to Jameson Williams’ six-game suspension handed out by the league in April for placing bets, nor did he offer an excuse for his teammate’s actions. But still, following Thursday’s OTAs in
We have all been there before. You buy that new Detroit Lions jersey before the season, and you are excited about it. You can’t wait to wear it that year and in future years. How cool will it look when it gets worn over the years? Like that vintage Chris Spielman or Herman Moore jersey…
At just 22 years old, Penei Sewell is already becoming a leader. Drafted seventh overall in the 2021 NFL Draft came with a lot of pressure. But he’s fit right in on what is considered to be one of the best offensive lines in the league—and he himself has proven to be one of the…
Detroit Lions coach Dan Campbell said he has taken a more proactive approach to educating players on the NFL’s gambling policy after at least four Lions were found to have violated league rules on betting. “I think, for us, it’s much more an emphasis from us, as opposed to just leaving it to the league,”
I listened to Jameson Williams last week. Then I listened to Detroit Lions head coach Dan Campbell on Thursday. And now, with a week of careful consideration between the two, I have something to say. Williams must do two things: He has to grow up — fast — and he should apologize to Jared Goff.
It has been 10 months since Levi Onwuzurike last played football, but the Detroit Lions are cautiously optimistic he’ll be back on the field this summer. Coach Dan Campbell said Onwuzurike recently began running in his rehab from back surgery and could be cleared for football activities at some point in training camp. “I would
Allen Park — It was far from perfect, but the Detroit Lions’ offense exceeded most reasonable expectations in Ben Johnson’s first year as offensive coordinator. To recap, in 2022 the Lions finished fourth in yards per game, fifth in scoring, committed the fewest turnovers in the NFL and posted the franchise’s best rushing average in
Back in early May—a few weeks after four Detroit Lions, including first-round wide receiver Jameson Williams, were suspended for gambling—safety Kerby Joseph tweeted the words “FREE JAMO.” The statement appeared to be support for his teammate and quite possibly a statement against the NFL’s gambling policy, which Williams claims he wasn’t clear of when he…
The backflips are out, but Kerby Joseph will never stop having fun. On Thursday, at the Detroit Lions‘ sixth organized team activity practice of the spring, Joseph returned an interception for a would-be touchdown in seven-on-seven drills; danced in celebration as his offensive teammates did planks after losing a kicking competition (more on that later);
Allen Park — It took some time. But, as Derrick Barnes goes through OTAs for a third time, he’s exactly where he feels he should be. Barnes, drafted in the fourth round of the 2021 draft, said after Thursday’s OTAs in Allen Park that he’s gotten “to the stage where I can just constantly get
Allen Park — Here are some notes and observations from Thursday’s OTA practice, the second of the offseason open to the media. ▶ As of last week, it appeared the Lions had an interesting kicking competition brewing. There’s the incumbent, Michael Badgley. Last year’s midseason acquisition was sharp in his 12-game audition, making 20-of-24 field goals and
The Detroit Lions hit the midway point in their Organized Team Activity practices on Thursday with their fifth of 10 practices. It was a blistering hot day, and a little shorter of a practice than we witnessed last week. So the notebook was a little lighter Thursday, with just one 11-on-11 session and one 7-on-7…
Allen Park — Last week, Detroit Lions running back David Montgomery and linebacker Malcolm Rodriguez both left the practice field hobbling, but coach Dan Campbell downplayed any long-term concern with either player ahead of Thursday’s OTA session. “Yeah, neither one of them are going to practice today, but it’s nothing serious,” Campbell said. “… And
