Position battles aren’t as cut and dry as they sometimes appear in the preseason. Sure, NFL teams like to keep five and often six receivers on their 53-man roster, but the Detroit Lions had seven on their Week 1 roster in 2021, and have rolled with four at times in the past. Fifth and sixth

Most years, the NFL preseason is largely meaningless. Then there’s the third and final preseason game. It’s the last chance potential starters have to make their case or for bubble players to stay on the roster. Sure, there are always the first looks at rookies. And a few starting position battles that need to get

Record wise, there wasn’t much of a difference between the way the Detroit Lions started their seasons in 2021 and 2022. The rebuild was evident as the losses piled up, and through their first seven games of last season, Detroit’s 1-6 record was an indictment of a young roster still finding its footing—and the front…
Every year, there seems to be a name or two that makes the Detroit Lions’ initial 53-man roster that surprises even the most keen-eyed beat writer. Today, I will try to identify six players who could be that guy when Detroit finalizes their roster by the Tuesday 4 p.m. ET cutoff.

Though most teams around the league are focusing on the positives, the atmosphere continues to be extremely optimistic around the Detroit Lions with the end of the summer rapidly approaching. While there is only so much that can be learned from training camp, the reporting has been very encouraging this summer.
Sitting in a team meeting, Chase Lucas braced for a tongue-lashing. The second-year Detroit Lions cornerback had no idea what he’d done, but when he heard Lions coach Dan Campbell sternly calling out his name, Lucas worried he’d done something to tick off his coach. “I was just like, ‘Oh shit,’” Lucas recalled. “Like, I

Allen Park — Lions fans only got a small glimpse of rookie running back Jahmyr Gibbs in the preseason. Playing in the opener, he logged six carries, caught one pass and gained 37 yards from scrimmage. That’s hardly enough time to demonstrate his electric playmaking potential, but that was apparent during Tuesday’s padded scrimmage, when
Amon-Ra St. Brown started Wednesday’s practice working on the side with trainers, rehabbing the ankle injury he suffered last week.
