According to Justin Dunk of 3 Down Nation, the Detroit Lions are cutting defensive end Mathieu Betts. Betts was an intriguing free agency signing by the Lions, as he is coming off a huge year in the Canadian Football League. For the BC Lions, he produced 18 sacks in 18 games, earning himself the honors…
The Detroit Lions are looking to add another quarterback this week after Nate Sudfeld had such a bad Thursday and Hendon Hooker could miss this week’s game due to being in concussion protocol. “Brad (Holmes) and I talked about that this morning, that could come down the wire, you know, today or tomorrow.” Campbell said.
Per Dave Birkett of the Detroit Free Press, the Detroit Lions are cutting wide receiver Daurice Fountain. Fountain spent the entirety of 2023 on the Lions’ practice squad. After signing a futures deal to return to Detroit for 2024, Fountain looked like he had improved during the early days of training camp. His strong play…
We have our first true stunner from the Lions at the roster cutdown period. Reports indicate the Lions are releasing backup quarterback Mate Sudfeld.

The thing about cut down season is that there’s always going to be some big surprises. The Detroit Lions had a pretty big one on Tuesday when they released Nate Sudfeld. Look, we get it, Sudfeld looked really bad. You can understand why this is happening from an on the field standpoint. Where it gets
The Detroit Lions are releasing veteran quarterback Nate Sudfeld, according to Ian Rapoport. The move comes as a pretty big surprise considering coach Dan Campbell said just last week that Sudfeld was ahead of second-year quarterback Hendon Hooker for the backup job, and seemed to strongly suggest they’ll be keeping three quarterbacks on the roster.
According to ESPN’s Jeremy Fowler, the Detroit Lions are waiving cornerback Steven Gilmore. The move comes after Gilmore spent a year on the Lions’ roster as an undrafted rookie last year. He would make only three game appearances, but Detroit was hopeful he would develop into a contributor later in his career.
The Detroit Lions held a walkthrough practice on Sunday, a day after the home preseason win over the Pittsburgh Steelers. It was a low-key session, but one that saw a lot of the walking wounded return to action for Detroit. Head coach Dan Campbell revealed a very positive participation report for the Sunday session during
The Detroit Lions are making their final roster cuts before the start of the 2024 regular season along with every other team around the league.

The Detroit Lions will have a new long snapper in 2024. According to Dave Birkett, the Lions are cutting incumbent snapper Scott Daly and going with undrafted rookie long snapper Hogan Hatten.

The Detroit Lions must reduce the roster down to the 53-man limit before the deadline at 4 p.m. on Tuesday, August 27th. It’s a tough time with a quick turnaround from the final preseason game. The Lions haven’t made any official transactions yet, but several moves are already reported as of Monday evening. Most notable
The Lions traded for Peoples-Jones at the trade deadline last November. They sent a 2025 sixth-round pick to the Browns to get him. Peoples-Jones was not a big part of the Lions receiving corps last year, but was expected to be a big part of it in 2024 since the belief was that he could play
The Detroit Lions are reportedly parting ways with two young offensive weapons. Per Tom Pelissero, the Lions are waiving running back Zonovan Knight and tight end Shane Zylstra. Knight was in a tough position given Detroit’s crowded running back room. With David Montgomery, Jahmyr Gibbs, Craig Reynolds, and rookie Sione Vaki comfortably ahead of Knight…
Zylstra seemed totally destined for the 53-man roster this year. He had a solid camp and a really good preseason. That’s why it’s shocking that the Lions have chosen to waive him. The reason could be that the team wants to carry fewer tight ends this season. This would set them up with likely three
