It’s been kind of a rough week for the Detroit Lions’ secondary. Both rookie cornerbacks Terrion Arnold and Ennis Rakestraw left practice with injuries on Monday. Both injuries seem to be minor and we should see both guys on Week 1, but it’s tough to lose them. On top of that undrafted rookie Morice Norris
It’s a 2024 NFL betting preview but with a preamble. *Spoilers ahead* Howard Ratner, portrayed by Adam Sandler and the tragic hero (?) of the Safdie brother’s 2019 film Uncut Gems, is a compulsive gambler. Over the course of the film, Ratner’s life spirals further and further out of control as he robs Peter to…
The Detroit Lions head to Arrowhead to take on the Kansas City Chiefs for their Week 2 matchup of the preseason. While most of the starters are going to be rested—especially on the offensive side of the ball—one of the most promising developments of the week has been Hendon Hooker’s recovery from a concussion he…
In a roster move that slid under the radar because it took place just before Wednesday’s practice, the Detroit Lions added cornerback Javelin Guidry to the den. Guidry spent the last four seasons with the New York Jets, including the entire 2023 season on the Jets’ injured reserve. The 5-foot-9 Guidry immediately takes the throne
Second-year running back Jahmyr Gibbs is expected to be a massive part of what the Detroit Lions do on offense in 2024. If the Lions make the Super Bowl this season — as they are one of the favorites to do so — Gibss will likely be a big reason why. That’s why everyone at
One of the names that Lions fans have been buzzing about as a potential acquisition to help bolster the pass rush is now off the market. Matthew Judon, a Detroit native and product of Grand Valley State University in Michigan, is heading from the Patriots to the Falcons. Judon is a four-time Pro Bowler and
The San Francisco 49ers were the team to beat last season as they went 12-5 en route to a Super Bowl berth. Should you put your money on them to do it again? Kyle Shanahan’s team has retained most of the superstars from a roster that eclipsed 11 wins in back-to-back seasons, so sportsbooks have
NFL teams are still feeling out the new kickoff formation and rules. For Lions special teams coordinator Dave Fipp, the unknown is a great opportunity for innovation.

Wednesday was the Detroit Lions’ official end to training camp practice, and it was supposed to end with a bang. Coach Dan Campbell wanted to close out the week with a full-on scrimmage, but, unfortunately, with the amount of injuries the team is dealing with, they opted to dial down the intensity of Wednesday’s practice.
Injuries can be brutal, but they seem especially cruel when they occur to a rookie during their first NFL preseason. Earlier this week, Minnesota Vikings quarterback J.J. McCarthy was experiencing soreness in his knee. Testing done on McCarthy’s sore knee revealed a meniscus issue, which required surgery to repair, but to determine the length of…

Wednesday morning’s practice session at the Meijer Training Facility in Allen Park was originally scheduled to be a full scrimmage, likely the last one of training camp. Alas, a rash of injuries across the Lions roster convinced head coach Dan Campbell to call off the scrimmage, strip off the full pads and just hold a
The Detroit Lions had to scale back Wednesday’s practice from a full-fledged scrimmage to a padless practice due to an increasing amount of injuries. But it wasn’t all bad news for the Lions. There were a handful of players—including quarterback Hendon Hooker and defensive tackle Alim McNeill—who returned to action. In fact, most of the…
For a good portion of Lions training camp, the Detroit defense has been good at making plays and stymying the high-powrred offense. After a troubling few years where Aaron Glenn’s unit struggled to stop vastly interior offenses to the one it squares off against in practice, the rise of the defense is a very welcome
