Lions training camp notes: Sam LaPorta starting to shake rust

Tuesday was one of the shortest training camp practices I’ve witnessed in the Dan Campbell era. The Detroit Lions only got in about an hour of work before they decided to call it a day. There’s a relatively good reason for that. Last week, the Lions went fully padded four times in a row, and […]

Detroit Lions injury updates: Several players inching closer to return

It was a welcomed day of relatively good injury news from Allen Park, as the Detroit Lions took the field for their 11th training camp practice off the offseason. The Lions got a starter back at practice, and a few others appear to be en route to returning—possibly very soon. Lions coach Dan Campbell also […]

Detroit Lions to don ‘Rivalries’ uniforms vs. divisional foe

The Detroit Lions announced on Tuesday that the highly anticipated “rivalry” uniforms will be worn during the team’s Week 8 matchup against the Minnesota Vikings.

Kerby Joseph injury update: Detroit Lions safety’s rehab going ‘very well’

It’s been a while since we’ve seen Detroit Lions safety Kerby Joseph working alongside medical professionals at training camp. It turns out there’s a reason for that, and, thankfully, it’s not another setback in his knee injury recovery. However, he is currently dealing with a personal issue, according to Dan Campbell. “First of all, he’s […]

Reacting to the Cade Mays injury, previewing Lions preseason Game 1

The news has been almost nonstop for the Detroit Lions over the past week. In just a week’s time, we had Jahmyr Gibbs become the highest-paid running back in NFL history, backup quarterback Teddy Bridgewater suddenly retired, and starting center Cade Mays suffered a broken wrist that will likely sideline him for at least the […]

Discussion: What should the Detroit Lions do at center following Cade Mays’ injury?

Detroit Lions fans were delivered some tough news to swallow on Monday morning when coach Dan Campbell revealed that starting center Cade Mays suffered an injury in training camp that will force him to miss “significant” time. Media reports suggest Mays has a broken bone in his wrist and will miss 8-10 weeks with the […]

Detroit Lions announce broadcast crew for 2026 preseason

One of the cool perks of watching NFL preseason games is that teams get to tap local broadcasters for their televised games. On Monday, the Lions announced that for the 2026 preseason, their FOX broadcast crew would once again feature play-by-play announcer Jason Benetti, color analyst T.J. Lang, and Patti Cesarini as the crew’s sideline […]

Teddy Bridgewater reveals reason for sudden retirement

On Sunday, Detroit Lions coach Dan Campbell informed the media that backup quarterback Teddy Bridgewater was going to “step away” from the team, but stopped short of saying that the veteran quarterback was planning to retire. “Yeah, I mean, I think only he can truly answer that, but I feel like this is where it’s […]

Lions training camp notes, Day 10: Big day for Detroit’s secondary

The Detroit Lions ramped the intensity back up at training camp for Day 10. The pads were back on, and most of the starters were back in the lineup following a bit of a veteran rest day on Sunday. If you want a full participation list, check out our latest Lions injury news update. Here’s […]

Lions center Cade Mays to miss ‘significant’ time with wrist injury

The Detroit Lions suffered their most significant training camp injury on Sunday, as prized free agent Cade Mays suffered a wrist injury and will miss a “significant period of time.” According to a report from Ian Rapoport, Mays’ injury is expected to sideline him for “roughly 8-10 weeks,” meaning he should be back by the […]

Bubble Watch: Several Detroit Lions training camp battles heat up on offense

The Detroit Lions aren’t even a full week into 2026 training camp, but we’ve already seen some surprises when it comes to the roster. The depth chart may not be exactly what we expected, and injuries have forced some roster reshuffling. For Week 2 of our Roster Bubble series, it’s not surprising that there have […]

Dan Campbell reveals Detroit Lions’ plan for starters in preseason opener vs. Bengals

This offseason, Detroit Lions coach Dan Campbell has publicly played with the idea of playing starters in the preseason—a departure from the team’s standard strategy. But when it comes to the team’s preseason opener this upcoming Thursday against the Cincinnati Bengals, it appears most of the team’s starters will not be suited up. “I really […]

8 standouts from Day 9 of Detroit Lions training camp

The Detroit Lions returned to practice Sunday for an early afternoon session after taking Saturday off. After four padded practices in five days this past week, the Lions took things relatively easy, electing to practice in shells during a session that lasted under two hours. With nearly 25 players either sidelined by injury or receiving […]

Discussion: Should the Detroit Lions trade for a backup quarterback?

To the surprise of many, quarterback Teddy Bridgewater stepped away from professional football, leaving the Detroit Lions in need of further depth. They filled that vacancy with haste, signing veteran Joshua Dobbs mere hours after Bridgewater’s departure was announced. While the quarterback room has returned to three-players deep, is that deep enough? Jared Goff is […]

While on the field, the team ran position drills, two team sessions, an extended special teams session, offensive line vs. defensive line one-on-ones, seven-on-sevens, […]

Detroit Lions training camp injury updates: Good news on D.J. Reed

The Detroit Lions held a shorter practice on Sunday, but they opted to hold out a bunch of their best players after four days of padded practice last week. It appears to be precautionary with all of them, so don’t get too concerned with the names you see below. Plus, there is some good news […]

Detroit Lions signing QB Josh Dobbs to replace Teddy Bridgewater

The Detroit Lions are signing veteran quarterback Josh Dobbs, according to a report from NFL Network’s Mike Garafolo. Dobbs comes into Detroit to help out their quarterback room following the sudden retirement of Teddy Bridgewater. Dobbs is a very natural fit to join the Lions for several reasons. For one, he’s no stranger to Detroit. […]

More Penei Sewell trick plays coming in 2026?

Thus far, we’ve seen the Detroit Lions attempt to execute two trick plays involving offensive tackle Penei Sewell. The first came in a key game against the Minnesota Vikings in 2022 when Sewell made an athletic, game-clinching catch after being lined up as a tight end. The second was a far less successful attempt to […]
