Detroit Lions injury news: Jameson Williams returns, Sam LaPorta out
For the last time in front of fans, the Detroit Lions took the field Wednesday for training camp. There will still be a handful of practices before the end of the preseason, but the rest will be with only media on hand. Wednesday saw the return of a couple key players, but the sidelining of […]
Detroit Lions players with most to gain, lose in preseason game vs. Commanders
Myself and my good friend and host of the PODcast, Meko Scott, are back with a new episode of, ‘Before the Roar,’ where we take a look ahead to the Detroit Lions’ second preseason game of 2026 against the Washington Commanders. After a productive Week 1 of the preseason where the Lions ultimately fell short […]
Saints likely to be without 2 offensive weapons vs. Lions in Week 1
This is your reminder that the Detroit Lions aren’t the only team dealing with preseason injuries. In fact, the Lions’ Week 1 opponent is going through it when it comes to their offensive weapons. Earlier in the week, it was announced that Saints rookie receiver Jordyn Tyson—the eighth overall pick in the 2026 NFL Draft—is […]
Film breakdown: How the Lions are finding their own way to play more nickel
It’s the preseason. Core starters are in street clothes. The Detroit Lions weren’t game-planning for the Cincinnati Bengals, and they surely weren’t going to show everything defensive coordinator Kelvin Sheppard has planned for the 2026 season. Yet, there were things worth watching to gain insight into the evolution of Sheppard’s defense in his second year […]
13 standouts from Day 14 of Detroit Lions training camp
The Detroit Lions changed things up for Day 14 of training camp, practicing Monday night in preparation for the primetime games they’ll play this season. The team also shifted into a full scrimmage format, playing four, nine-minute quarters with a scoring system that pitted the first-team offense and second-team defense against the second-team offense and […]
Survey: Which group will you be watching most closely in Lions vs. Commanders game?
Throughout the offseason, SB Nation will host NFL fan surveys, sponsored by FanDuel Sportsbook. For Pride of Detroit, we are tasked with fielding questions from Detroit Lions fans, and this week’s question focuses on which position group fans will be watching most closely in this weekend’s preseason game against the Washington Commanders. The Lions still have […]
Former Lions CB Terrion Arnold won’t be able to play for Seahawks right away
Former Detroit Lions cornerback Terrion Arnold appears to be headed for the Seattle Seahawks, but there are a few roadblocks in the way before the former first-round pick can see the field. Arnold and the Seahawks have agreed upon a contract, but Seahawks head coach Mike Macdonald said recently that they’re working through some things […]
Lions rookie LB Jimmy Rolder provides very optimistic injury update
At the start of training camp, the Detroit Lions got some bad luck. Fourth-round pick Jimmy Rolder suffered a hamstring injury that coach Dan Campbell described as something that will keep him out “a while,” but wasn’t a season ender. Another report suggested it wasn’t a severe injury, but that he’ll still “miss some time.” […]
Exclusive interview with Lions front office executive live from training camp
On Monday evening, Pride of Detroit notched another really exciting and fun moment in the history of our site. We got to record our weekly PODcast on the grounds of the Detroit Lions’ practice facility in the hour lead-up to their scrimmage practice. Streaming live just a few feet from where the Lions were warming […]
Observations from Detroit Lions training camp full scrimmage
On Day 14 of 2026 training camp, the Detroit Lions held their annual “night practice,” where they ran a full-squad scrimmage. The team splits in half, with the first-team offense pairing with the second- and third-team defense, while the defensive starters pair with the offensive reserves. It’s a fun, fast-paced practice with a lot of […]
Breaking down the Detroit Lions’ 3 GRIT Plays of the Week vs. Bengals
We’ve spent five years hearing Dan Campbell tell us about GRIT. ESPN has had “C’mon Man!” and “Jacked Up!” on “Monday Night Countdown”, while NFL Network has given us “Angry Runs” on “Good Morning Football.“ And of course “You Got Mossed!” on “Sunday NFL Countdown.“ I figure it’s time we start punching some holes in […]
How preseason game 1 shifted Detroit Lions’ roster bubble on defense
In the Detroit Lions’ 16-14 preseason loss to the Cincinnati Bengals, the defense put on a bit of a show. Despite playing their backups against Joe Burrow and several Bengals starters on offense, the Lions managed to hold Cincinnati to just 10 points and a mere 125 yards in the first half. They were able […]
Discussion: Who is the top sleeper pick to make the Detroit Lions’ roster?
The Detroit Lions are well past the midway point of training camp. In fact, roster cutdown day is less than two weeks away, with teams needing to shrink their roster by Sunday, August 30. For a roster like the Detroit Lions’, the top 40 spots are likely already pretty set. This camp didn’t see many […]
Lions injury updates: Good news for Jameson Williams
Prior to their evening practice on Monday night, Detroit Lions coach Dan Campbell offered a couple of critically important injury updates. The first was on wide receiver Jameson Williams, who missed Sunday’s practice unexpectedly. Campbell said that the veteran receiver is dealing with a shoulder injury, but it’s considered minor. “He’s got a little shoulder […]
Welcome to the Pride: Anthony
Editor’s Note: This is our intro post for Pride of Detroit’s newest writer, Anthony Balaj. If you’re familiar with me from Twitter/X, you probably know me as @BtwnTheNumbers, or Between The Numbers – Anthony. I’ve been writing and talking about the Detroit Lions there for a few years now, and I’m excited to officially be […]
Experts weigh in on Detroit Lions preseason debuts of Blake Miller, Seth McLaughlin
The Detroit Lions didn’t play most of their starters against the Cincinnati Bengals on Thursday, but there were a few very important players in action. First-round pick Blake Miller played for the entire first half. The Lions’ projected starting right tackle has had an up-and-down camp, which is to be expected when he’s lining up […]
Detroit Lions roster bubble watch: Big questions at QB, WR
The Detroit Lions have some big roster decisions to make in the upcoming weeks. Roster cutdown day is less than two weeks away, and time is running out to evaluate their players. On offense, Detroit has a conundrum at quarterback after Teddy Bridgewater’s retirement. But it’s a good conundrum, because both Luke Altmyer and Josh […]
2026 Detroit Lions 53-man roster prediction: Post-preseason Week 1
The Detroit Lions walked away from their preseason game against the Cincinnati Bengals with a loss. Despite falling to 0-1 in the never-important preseason standings, it was a learning experience for all involved. Players got their first live reps of the 2026 season, coaches gained insight on their roster, fans got a look at new […]
Discussion: Which Detroit Lions should NOT play in the preseason?
The Detroit Lions’ preparation for their second preseason game continues on Monday with their first night practice of training camp. That’s not the only thing that will be different this week. At least according to coach Dan Campbell’s comments earlier last week, the Lions will play their starters against the Washington Commanders on Saturday, the […]
Detroit Lions 2026 training camp observations, Day 13: Tate Ratledge gets work at center
The Detroit Lions were back in pads on Sunday, slowly ramping things back up in their 13th training camp practice of the 2026 preseason. A couple of unexpected absences popped up at Sunday’s practice, but we also saw some injured players return, like Juice Scruggs and Derrick Moore. The pair took to the field in […]
Detroit Lions waive 2 injured players, add new cornerback
Prior to their Sunday training camp practice, the Detroit Lions made a couple of transactions. As previously reported, the Lions signed running back Trayveon Williams. However, they also signed cornerback Ekow Boye-Doe. In order to make room for both players, the Lions waived both Kye Robichaux and safety Loren Strickland with injury designations. Robichaux (broken […]
Detroit Lions injury updates: Jameson Williams absent Sunday
The Detroit Lions donned the pads again on Sunday as they ramp training camp practice up now that the preseason opener is well in the rear-view mirror. There were a couple new absences from practice on Sunday, but we don’t necessarily have a ton of information on those situations—particularly with starting wide receiver Jameson Williams. […]
Dan Campbell speaks on Seattle Seahawks agreeing to sign Terrion Arnold
The Seattle Seahawks have reportedly agreed to sign former Detroit Lions cornerback Terrion Arnold. The signing is not yet official, as the franchise is still working out details with the league on the timing and viability of the signing, while Arnold continues through the legal process involving eight felony charges from an incident in Florida […]
The overlooked Detroit Lion who just ‘does everything right’
The life of a nose tackle is an unheralded one. They don’t typically accumulate a ton of box score statistics. Their job is often to take up space and free up other players to make plays. And, on a very basic level, the amount of punishment you take eating double teams from 300-pound players seems […]
4 key advanced stats from Detroit Lions’ preseason opener
The Detroit Lions kicked off their preseason slate with a wet—and often sloppy—60 minutes of football on Thursday night against the Cincinnati Bengals in Ohio. While the weather made it harder to come to definitive conclusions about the play on the field, particularly at some of the skill positions, there’s still plenty to review and […]
