It likely won’t happen for this week’s trip to Tampa Bay, but Josh Paschal is on the way back into the Detroit Lions lineup. The team started his 21-day window for activation from injured reserve on Friday. Paschal hasn’t played since getting injured in the Lions’ Week 1 win in Kansas City. He suffered a

Early bye weeks typically aren’t ideal, but the Tampa Bay Buccaneers‘ Week 5 bye came in handy due to the various injuries the team has experienced through the first four weeks of the season. And sure enough, the extra time off has allowed multiple, key players to heal up for Sunday’s big matchup against the
The Detroit Lions wowed everyone when they signed C.J. Gardner-Johnson. It was a rare moment when one of the best free agents decided to come to Detroit.

“You’re a sicko, and I love it.” Detroit Lions left tackle Taylor Decker said those words to offensive coordinator Ben Johnson after he called a trick play that resulted in tight end Sam LaPorta being wide-open for a score.

Knight, 22, wound up going undrafted out of North Carolina State back in 2022. He later signed a rookie contract with the Jets, but was released coming out of the preseason.

Jameson Williams didn’t make much of a dent on the stat sheet in his 2023 debut in Detroit. Williams, fresh from an early release of his gambling-related suspension from the NFL, caught two passes for two yards. He dropped the other pass thrown his way. “Jamo” did do some things well in the game, notably
