On Thursday, the Detroit Lions announced they signed undrafted rookie wide receiver Kyre Duplessis to their active roster.

Lions still ‘don’t know’ future of Kerby Joseph’s injury recovery
The mystery surrounding Kerby Joseph’s injury continues. A knee injury that sidelined the Detroit Lions safety for the final half of the 2025 season has continued to linger and kept him off the practice field. Throughout the past few months, there has been very little clarity on what appears to be a chronic knee injury. […]
Detroit Lions lose rookie WR to a torn ACL

On Thursday, the Detroit Lions will close out Week 2 of Organized Team Activities. It’s their sixth practice of OTAs, and it will be the second with media present at Allen Park.

Many Detroit Lions fans are eager to see what Detroit Lions defensive coordinator Kelvin Sheppard has up his sleeve in his second year as the team’s defensive coordinator. After a frustrating season that started out so promisingly, the Lions defense needs to take a big jump in 2026. Some have suggested Detroit is in need […]

Detroit Lions hire long-time NFL GM to their front office
According to ESPN’s Adam Schefter, the Detroit Lions have hired Chris Grier to an unspecified “personnel executive” position.

During that tenure, the Dolphins posted five winning seasons—including four […]

More teams continue to roll out their behind-the-scenes videos from the 2026 NFL Draft, and the most recent one has a lot to do with the Detroit Lions.

Discussion: Which Detroit Lions player do you wish came out of retirement?
As if the news couldn’t get any more exciting for Los Angeles Rams fans right now, right off the heels of their trade for Myles Garrett, there are now rumors that three-time Defensive Player of the Year Aaron Donald is at least considering retirement. Donald reportedly told NFL insider Jordan Schultz, “If I can find […]

Discussion: Where do the Detroit Lions rank in the NFC?
With the Los Angeles Rams’ all-in move, trading for defensive end Myles Garrett, they seem to have assumed the biggest favorite for Super Bowl 61. It would be hard to argue against that. With them returning most of the offensive roster that produced the most points in the NFL last year and adding a bunch […]
Detroit Lions’ biggest need for 2026: Injury luck
“Injuries aren’t an excuse.” It’s a line that’s often parroted by fans, analysts, and even NFL coaches and general managers.

Several former Detroit Lions call out Tom Brady’s ‘bullshit’ practice squad take
There aren’t many people in the world that know the NFL and the NFL environment better than Tom Brady. But a couple of former Detroit Lions players are calling out the future Hall of Famer for a recent take on a podcast that they believe is straight—in their words—“bullshit.” A clip went viral this weekend […]
Projecting Detroit Lions 2026 UDFA chances to make the roster
Every offseason, players selected in the NFL Draft receive a ton of attention. Everything from a player’s background to their on-field performance to their contract is broken down in immense detail. At the same time, every team adds several players via the undrafted free agent (UDFA) market—typically more players than they draft—but these players often […]
Discussion: What are realistic expectations for Isaac TeSlaa in 2026?
Isaac TeSlaa’s rookie season was certainly a mixed bag. After being selected with a pricy trade-up in the 2025 NFL Draft, expectations were modestly high for the rookie. On one hand, the offense around him was stacked, meaning opportunities would be limited at first. On the other hand, he was given a long runway for […]
Dan Campbell ain’t messing around
If you watched Dan Campbell’s press conference prior to the Detroit Lions’ third OTA practice on Friday, it wouldn’t be hard to notice a tonal shift. When Campbell steps in front of the lectern, he usually has a contagious energy to him. He’s excited, he’s light, and typically has a lot to say. But on […]

Alim McNeill says he feels ‘night and day difference’ from last year
In October of 2024, Detroit Lions defensive tackle Alim McNeill signed a four-year, $97 million contract that made him one of the highest-paid defensive tackles in football. He was at the top of his game, coming off an impressive 2023 season, and was still wreaking havoc early in 2024. But just over a month after […]
Dan Campbell explains why Detroit Lions were only team to cancel rookie minicamp
One of the more surprising changes the Detroit Lions made this offseason was the complete removal of rookie minicamp from their schedule. The Lions were the only team that did not participate in a rookie minicamp, and until Friday, they hadn’t offered a clear reason why. Coach Dan Campbell talked about the decision and admitted […]
