By nearly every single measure, the first half of the Detroit Lions’ 2023 season was a success. Not only do they have a 6-2 record and a 1.5-game lead on the NFC North, but they also boast a top-10 offense and defense by DVOA metrics, hold the No. 2 seed in the NFC, and have…
Detroit Lions safety C.J. Gardner-Johnson suffered a torn pectoral in Week 2 against the Seahawks. It’s a lengthy injury and has given Gardner-Johnson a lot of free time outside of the time he’s been training to get back. This has allowed him to focus on his rap career and do something that a lot people
The Detroit Lions exit the bye week and head into the second half of the regular season atop the NFC North and with a 6-2 record. Next on their slate is the Los Angeles Chargers, who they will play on the road. Despite the Chargers’ 4-4 record, the Lions are only 1.5-point favorites. It may…
The Detroit Lions raised some eyebrows when they signed rookie linebacker Trevor Nowaske from the practice squad to the active roster during the heart of the team’s bye week.

Detroit Lions rookie Jahmyr Gibbs has shown up big in the the absence of David Montgomery. He’s racked up 315 total yards and two touchdowns in the last two games and had really shown what he can do. So with David Montgomery likely coming back this week, what does that do to Gibbs? Lions Head
Last week, the Detroit Lions made a curious roster move. After cutting Devine Ozigbo—a clear sign running back David Montgomery was near ready to return—the Lions filled the roster spot with linebacker Trevor Nowaske, an undrafted rookie who has spent the first two months of the season on the practice squad.
The Detroit Lions were on a bye week last week. That’s why it was a little strange that on Thursday they did a practice squad elevation out of nowhere. The team signed undrafted rookie linebacker Trevor Nowaske to their 53-man roster. We now know why they made that move, it’s because he was about to
The Detroit Lions are officially off the bye week and already starting their preparation for Sunday’s road trip against the Los Angeles Chargers.
