On Wednesday, the Detroit Lions unveiled their new food offerings during games at Ford Field.

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 […]

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.

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 […]

2026 Detroit Lions practice squad, waiver wire tracker
The Detroit Lions are in the midst of making several difficult decisions as they must reduce their roster from 91 to 53 players by 6 p.m. ET on Sunday night.

Report: Detroit Lions to re-sign TE Tyler Conklin
The Detroit Lions are bringing back tight end Tyler Conklin, according to a report from CBS Sports’ Matt Zenitz.

Discussion: Where is the Detroit Lions’ 53-man roster’s biggest weakness?
Forming a 53-man roster is a never-ending business in the NFL.

Detroit Lions sign 14 players to 2026 practice squad
The Detroit Lions may have already established a 53-man roster, but if you ask anyone in the building, they’ll talk about how the roster is actually 69 players.

No Detroit Lions players were claimed on waivers
On Monday afternoon, the NFL dropped its full list of waiver claims after Sunday’s cutdown day. The Detroit Lions were not awarded anyone on waivers, and more importantly, no Lions players were claimed via waivers.

2026 Detroit Lions establish initial 53-man roster
The Detroit Lions have established their initial roster for the 2026 season.

Lions to place Brian Branch, Kerby Joseph on reserve/PUP, both to miss 4 games
