The Detroit Lions cleared a spot on the practice squad early Thursday morning when they released veteran safety C.J. Moore. They already have a replacement by signing Erik Hallett. The 24-year-old Hallett was a sixth-round pick by the Jaguars in the 2023 NFL Draft. He spent last season on the team’s practice squad. He was
For the last 15 seasons, at least one undrafted rookie free agent (UDFA) has made the Detroit Lions’ initial 53-man roster, which is quite an impressive streak. Even more remarkable is that the Lions’ roster is considered deep enough to make a run at the Super Bowl, yet, there were still three UDFAs that made…
Could Detroit Lions kicker Jake Bates have had a better training camp? Yes, obviously. The team’s new kicker missed more than a handful of short kicks and had a couple of tough practices along the way. But the young kicker still managed to win the Lions’ kicker job unopposed.
The Detroit Lions had to do a lot of maneuvering to get around the NFL’s roster rules. That included only officially signing 15 players to their practice squad Friday and making the Donovan Peoples-Jones signing official Thursday. It also included keeping John Cominsky on the 53-man roster until Thursday so they could put him on
It’s the totally unexpected things that can sometimes be the coolest things. Stuff like Jake Fromm locking down a job with the Lions despite every conceivable thing being against the possibility of it happening. Hendon Hooker takes a bad hit against the Giants and the Lions say they’re looking to add a quarterback right before
Former Tennessee Vols quarterback Hendon Hooker made the Detroit Lions’ initial 53-man roster this week. Hooker, a third round selection by the Lions in the 2023 NFL Draft, missed all of his rookie season while recovering from the torn ACL he suffered at Tennessee in 2022. The former Vol returned to the field this summer
As has been the expectation for weeks, the Detroit Lions have placed defensive lineman John Cominsky on the injured reserve list. Cominsky tore a tendon in his knee during the early portion of training camp and is expected to miss most of the season. The Lions held off on placing Cominsky on I.R. until after
There’s a story that was retold by Nate Burleson six years ago that accurately depicted the reputation and culture of the Detroit Lions franchise. As Burleson tells it, when he came into the team’s locker room for the first time in 2010 as an incoming free agent, an unnamed cornerback pulled him aside and told…
While none of the players the Detroit Lions waived this week ahead of Tuesday’s roster deadline were claimed by another team, one of the undrafted rookies cut by the team has found a new home. Offensive lineman Bryan Hudson has agreed to sign with the New England Patriots on that team’s practice squad. Per Patriots

The Detroit Lions announced a few expected roster moves on Thursday morning, along with one unexpected one. As expected, John Cominsky has been placed on injured reserve after suffering a torn MCL a month ago in training camp practice. Because he spent a day on the Lions’ 53-man roster, he is eligible to return to…
Detroit Lions GM Brad Holmes left no doubt about what he thinks of the squad he and his front office team and coaching staff have assembled. Holmes laid it out there in his Thursday morning press conference. Asked about his expectations for the coming season, Holmes quickly answered, “My expectations? Win the Super Bowl.” Not
One of the biggest themes of the offseason for the Detroit Lions was that they had a receiver problem. That problem has been theoretically solved at this point, but it sounds like it could have been solved a bit earlier. Lions GM Brad Holmes met with the media bright and early Thursday morning and said
By now, everyone knows how aggressive the Detroit Lions and head coach Dan Campbell are during games. Look no further than their fourth-down decisions during the NFC Championship Game against the San Francisco 49ers back in January. But we didn’t always have a true understanding of why they are so aggressive. At least until now
The Detroit Lions left the preseason without the X-receiver they’d been looking for all summer long. Despite plenty of opportunities, none of the receivers auditioning for the job justified their spot by the time roster-cutdowns needed to happen. Shortly after the deadline for 53-man rosters to be set, however, the Lions had not only extended…
Former Lions linebacker Mathieu Betts is heading back to the Canadian Football League after spending the offseason with Detroit. Betts is signing with the BC Lions for the remaining seven games of the CFL season after being let go by the Lions and going unclaimed on waivers. Betts played for BC in 2022 and 2023.
Allen Robinson II is officially back in the NFC North. The Detroit Lions announced Wednesday that they have signed Robinson. The veteran wide receiver will be joining Detroit’s practice squad. Robinson, 31, is a former second-round draft pick and was named a Pro Bowler in 2015. He has posted three separate seasons of 1,000 yards
Here we go. The Detroit Lions are all set for the 2024 season. We’ve seen their initial 53-man roster already and now we know who’s going to be on their 16-man practice squad. Here’s the group. WR Tim Patrick: Probably safe to say that Patrick won’t be on the Lions practice squad for too long.
Man it feels like this one has been coming for a long, long time. The Detroit Lions have signed Allen Robinson to their practice squad. Every time Robinson has been a free agent in his career, he has constantly been linked to the Lions. Now in 2024 at the age of 31, Robinson finally returns
Detroit’s practice squad now includes: LB Mitchell Agude C Kingsley Eguakun QB Jake Fromm RB Jermar Jefferson T Jamarco Jones WR Tom Kennedy TE James Mitchell S C.J. Moore DL Pat O’Connor WR Tim Patrick DL Kyle Peko WR Allen Robinson DL Chris Smith DL Isaac Ukwu TE Shane Zylstra Robinson, 31, is a former
