Detroit Lions believe DJ Wonnum is great complement to Aidan Hutchinson
If you read every single one of our daily Detroit Lions training camp observations, you may only see a passing mention or two of defensive end DJ Wonnum. Despite being in line for a potential starting role on a revamped Lions defensive line, Wonnum’s spring was quiet. But coach Dan Campbell said on Monday that […]
Dan Campbell provides some clarity on Detroit Lions’ RB2 situation
The Detroit Lions will have a different backup running back than expected to start the 2026 season. Last week, the Lions placed Isiah Pacheco—their primary offseason signing at running back—on injured reserve with a back injury. That means he’ll miss at least the first four games of the season, and Detroit will have to rely […]
Random ESPN simulation predicts dream 2026 Detroit Lions season
ESPN has a prediction system called Football Power Index, which uses a bunch of metrics and projections to simulate and predict outcomes. They use this system to create probabilities for the season, sometimes based on thousands and thousands of simulations. For example, their FPI system project the Detroit Lions to make the playoffs 71.4% of […]
Discussion: What is the Detroit Lions’ ceiling for the 2026 season?
“Next year is our year.” It’s become the battle cry of Detroit Lions fans annually after the previous season has come to its disappointing conclusion. There haven’t been many more recent seasons more disappointing for Lions fans than the 2025 campaign. For the prior four seasons, it had been all about growth. 2022 ended with […]
2026 NFL predictions: Who will be the Detroit Lions’ Offensive MVP?
It’s finally, officially Week 1 of the 2026 NFL season. Our patience will finally be paid off with a full week of NFL games starting on Wednesday… then Thursday… then Sunday… then Monday. But before the games kick off, the Pride of Detroit staff will be providing their predictions for the 2026 Detroit Lions’ season […]
Discussion: What are you most looking forward to seeing in Lions vs. Saints?
We’re officially just a week away from the Detroit Lions’ season opener against the New Orleans Saints. Our long wait is almost over, and it will be a joy just to have the NFL back in our lives. But now that we’re within striking distance of Week 1, it’s time to actually start thinking about […]
Detroit Lions fans pick favorite for RB2 role
Earlier this week, we published our latest SB Nation Reacts survey, sponsored by the folks at FanDuel Sportsbook, and asked Detroit Lions fans: Which Lions RB will get the majority of Isiah Pacheco’s snaps? While Jahmyr Gibbs is going to be the clear RB1/“bell cow” back, the loss of Pacheco to injured reserve has raised questions […]
Discussion: Which Detroit Lions player is under the most pressure in 2026?
Earlier this week, ESPN put out a list of the players and coaches most under pressure for the 2026 NFL season. No Detroit Lions made their list, but it certainly got me thinking. This season is a big one for the Lions organization. Last year was their first significant step back under general manager Brad […]
Best Detroit Lions content of the week: The joy of being Jameson Williams
It wasn’t always sunshine for Detroit Lions wide receiver Jameson Williams since entering the NFL. Coming off an electric final collegiate season where Williams would tear his ACL in the National Championship game, his professional career in Detroit got off to a slower start than most anticipated. And if you are reading this, you are […]
Inside the Grit Index: 8 NFL Draft prospects to watch in Week 1
It’s Week 1 of the college football season, which means it is time to start tracking which 2027 NFL Draft prospects could be the best fits for the Detroit Lions. Unlike most NFL Draft-centric college football previews, the primary focus here is not to tell you which players are the top, most athletically gifted prospects. […]
The Detroit Lions may be over the salary cap by next week
When the NFL shifts from the offseason to the regular season, the accounting for the salary cap changes—and it can have a dramatic impact on where a team’s standing is when it comes to cap compliance. During the offseason—when teams have a 90-man roster—only the top 51 contracts count against the salary cap. But when […]
What uniform combination should the Lions go with against the Saints?
We are nearly there. After the coming weekend, we will officially be into Week 1 of the 2026 NFL season. For the Detroit Lions, that means hosting the New Orleans Saints back in the friendly confines of Ford Field. It’s a big season for Detroit in many ways, and after a 2025 season that fell […]
The fair, unfair criticism of the Detroit Lions’ handling of Terrion Arnold
In case you somehow didn’t already know, Detroit Lions general manager Brad Holmes and assistant general manager Ray Agnew spoke with the media Wednesday following the conclusion of training camp and roster cuts. In the wake of that media availability, and a few questions that were asked regarding Seattle Seahawks cornerback Terrion Arnold, there has […]
Detroit Lions rookie Derrick Moore among 6 jersey number changes
When NFL teams cut their roster down from 90 to 53 players, it frees up a bunch of jersey numbers, and we often see a bunch of players change their numbers before the season begins. That’s exactly what has happened with the Detroit Lions in 2026, as six players will now have new numbers for […]
2026 Detroit Lions roster comparison: Are they deeper than last year?
One of the biggest problems the Detroit Lions have run into in the past few years is injuries. Detroit has had terrible luck in that department, being one of the most injured teams in football for three years running. While teams can try to do everything within their power to prevent injuries—whether it be practicing […]
Survey: Which Lions RB will get the majority of Isiah Pacheco’s snaps?
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 running back will add more offensive snaps to their responsibilities now that Isiah Pacheco has been placed on injured reserve. While […]
Ford Field food options: What the Detroit Lions are offering in 2026
On Wednesday, the Detroit Lions unveiled their new food offerings during games at Ford Field. Their focus this year was on three goals: I was lucky enough to attend this unveiling, and I tried just about as much of the new food offerings as possible. You can watch that below, but I also have more […]
Detroit Lions open 2 roster spots by waiving pair of offensive players
The Detroit Lions waived two players on Wednesday, creating two empty roster spots on their 53-man roster. The players they waived were running back Jabari Small and backup center Seth McLaughlin. Why did the Lions waive these two players after they made the initial 53-man roster? One theory could be that they found two new […]
2026 Detroit Lions preview: Don’t sleep on these 9 players
Just like that, the 2026 training camp for the Detroit Lions is over with. Despite it likely feeling like somewhat of an eternity for those in the building, it feels like it was just a few days ago that camp got underway in late July. Now we are into September, and the vast majority of […]
5 takeaways from Lions GM Brad Holmes post-cuts press conference
Detroit Lions general manager Brad Holmes and assistant GM Ray Agnew spoke to the media on Wednesday, just days after establishing the team’s 2026 53-man roster. The topics discussed were extremely wide-ranging, so here are the five biggest takeaways from the 25-minute session. Note: I will not be including Holmes’ comments on the Terrion Arnold […]
Lions GM Brad Holmes responds to criticism over handling of Terrion Arnold situation
On Wednesday, Detroit Lions general manager Brad Holmes spoke to the local media for the first time since the team made the decision to cut Terrion Arnold following his arrest in connection with an incident earlier this year that resulted in eight felony charges. It was an opportunity for Holmes to face some criticism on […]
Detroit Lions updated depth chart: Initial 53-man roster, practice squad
The Detroit Lions have established their initial 53-man roster and filled out most of their practice squad (they still have one spot open) for the 2026 season, making it the perfect time to reset the depth chart. An NFL roster is never truly settled, as the Lions are constantly shifting, adjusting for injuries, and upgrading; […]
Discussion: What position on the Detroit Lions’ 53-man roster is the strongest?
On Tuesday, we discussed the biggest weaknesses on the Detroit Lions’ 53-man roster. I picked the cornerback room—and a lot of you agreed—but I thought it was interesting to see how many of you were concerned about the depth at skill position. With the Lions going light on wide receiver, Isiah Pacheco’s injury, and some […]
2026 Detroit Lions have one of the youngest rosters in NFL
It’s no secret that the Detroit Lions attempted to get a little younger this offseason. And as a result, they have one of the youngest rosters in the NFL. According to Philly Voice, Detroit’s initial 53-man roster had an average age of 26.0 years old, good for eighth-youngest in the NFL. Bill Speros did his […]
Detroit Lions place RB Isiah Pacheco on IR, add WR to practice squad
The Detroit Lions announced another wave of moves as they attempt to finalize their roster ahead of their Week 1 game against the New Orleans Saints. Most notably, the Lions placed running back Isiah Pacheco on injured reserve. To fill his roster spot, the Lions have re-signed tight end Tyler Conklin (as previously reported). Detroit […]
