In an additional move, the team is signing RB Jermar Jefferson to their practice squad. Jones is stepping away from the team for the remainder of the season to deal with a family issue and is therefore being released. Ibrahim, 24, was named third-team All-American in 2020 and was twice named first-team All-Big Ten in
The NFL trade deadline is exactly one week away from Tuesday. Teams have until 4PM on Halloween to make some deals. Everyone has been wondering what the Detroit Lions will do at the deadline this year. Will they be active or will they stick? Lions Head Coach Dan Campbell didn’t necessarily answer that question on
Every week, we’re checking in with notable former Detroit Lions players whom the team parted ways with this offseason.

The Detroit Lions are 5-2, sitting in first place in the NFC North and tied with the San Francisco 49ers for second place in the entire conference. It’s a great start for a franchise that hasn’t won a division title in over 30 years, and a promising step for the Dan Campbell and Brad Holmes…
The NFL’s trade deadline is fast approaching, and there are a number of notable names who could be on the move. There are several contending teams that could be looking to shore up an area of weakness as they aim to make a postseason run. Not to mention, there are a number of struggling teams
The Detroit Lions got smacked in the mouth by the Baltimore Ravens. The big question the rest of the week is how will NFL media respond? Will they go full “Lions are fraud?” or will they be reasonable. The other question is will they have the same feelings about a 49ers team that’s lost back
Week 7 proved to be an eventful weekend for the NFC North. The leaders of the division, the Detroit Lions, suffered their worst loss of the season, falling 38-6 to the Baltimore Ravens. Detroit is now 5-2 and maintains first place by a comfortable early-season margin. There was some jumbling below the Lions in the
It was to be expected. Getting trounced 38-6 in Baltimore was bound to drop the Detroit Lions in NFL power polls after Week 7. Sure enough, the Lions did fall out of the top five with the loss. However, the fall wasn’t very far for Detroit in most polls. The 5-2 Lions remain firmly in
Sunday’s matchup between the Baltimore Ravens and the Detroit Lions was supposed to be the most interesting schematic game of Week 7. You had the Ravens’ passing game, finally coming together under new offensive coordinator Todd Monken, against an Aaron Glenn-led Lions defense that ranked third in Defensive DVOA behind only the Cleveland Browns… and
The Lions performance against the Baltimore Ravens was one of the more notable ones of the season. Not in the sense one could hope but that it may serve as a callback down the road when greener pastures are in front of them. The Ravens cemented themselves as Super Bowl contenders, and the Lions still
The NFL closes out Week 7 with a “Monday Night Football” matchup between the San Francisco 49ers and Minnesota Vikings at U.S. Bank Stadium.

Lions wide receiver Marvin Jones Jr. was not on the field for Detroit’s Week 7 loss to the Baltimore Ravens. In fact, Jones didn’t even make the trip to Maryland with the team. The Lions ruled out Jones on Saturday, citing undisclosed personal reasons that were not injury-related. The veteran wideout had been a full
After watching the tape of his team getting throttled 38-6 by the Baltimore Ravens, Detroit Lions coach Dan Campbell came away with one big conclusion: that was entirely his fault. “When you step back and you look at a number of performances that were very much subpar across the board, it’s not coincidence,” Campbell said.…
