Jahmyr Gibbs contract details: New strategies from Detroit Lions
The full contract details of Jahmyr Gibbs’ three-year extension are out, and it reveals a ton of interesting things about how the Detroit Lions approached this deal. Before I get into the nitty-gritty, here’s how the overall contract looks, including overall cap hits and “dead cap if cut.” [Note: This does not include the incentives […]
Discussion: Who will be the next Detroit Lions inducted into the Hall of Fame?
On Saturday, five people were officially inducted into the Pro Football Hall of Fame: Drew Brees, Roger Craig, Luke Kuechly, Larry Fitzgerald, and Adam Vinatieri. All of those players are more than deserving of the honors. It’s been a little bit since we’ve seen a Detroit Lion on stage accepting their induction. If we’re talking […]
Detroit Lions try out three defensive players
On Friday, the Detroit Lions tried out a trio of defensive players: defensive tackle Folorunso Fatukasi, and cornerbacks Ryan Cooper and Anthony Kendall. As of Saturday morning, none of the three have signed with the team, but we’ll see if Detroit makes a move during their day off in preparation for Sunday’s training camp practice. […]
Discussion: What should the Detroit Lions do with rookie QB Luke Altmyer?
For the past two Detroit Lions training camp practices, veteran backup quarterback Teddy Bridgewater has been sidelined. At this point, we don’t have any clarity on why Bridgewater has been absent, but it’s been a great opportunity for undrafted rookie quarterback Luke Altmyer to get a ton of reps—including some key situational work. During Friday’s […]
Detroit Lions fans hope to see starters vs. Bengals… but not much of them
Earlier this week, we published our latest SB Nation Reacts survey, sponsored by the folks at FanDuel Sportsbook, and asked Detroit Lions fans: How much should Lions’ starters play in the first preseason game? The Lions will be traveling to Cincinnati next Thursday night to take on the Bengals in both teams’ first preseason game of […]
Lions training camp scrimmage notes: UDFA shines among strong LB performance
The Detroit Lions held a scrimmage-like practice on Friday, their fourth straight day in pads. One of the neat things about these scrimmages is that they’ll often have the first-team offense go against the second-team defense, giving some depth players an opportunity to go against starting-level talent. It’s a huge opportunity for some players further […]
Lions RB Jahmyr Gibbs: Contract talks were ‘extremely stressful’
Jahmyr Gibbs was all smiles when stepping in front of the lectern at Allen Park Friday afternoon.

Detroit Lions training camp injury report: D.J. Reed out, Jahmyr Gibbs ramping up
The Detroit Lions held a scrimmage-like practice on Friday, but there were a pretty large amount of players sidelined for the day. Unfortunately, with no Dan Campbell press conference on Friday, many of these absences will remain a mystery until his next media session. But, for now, here’s everything we know about the players who […]
Detroit Lions signing new defensive tackle
According to Adam Schefter, the Detroit Lions are signing free agent defensive tackle Ben Stille. Stille is a former Nebraska Cornhusker who has spent the past four years bouncing around NFL rosters.

Detroit Lions roster 2026: Rock Ya-Sin, Greg Dortch, Keith Abney are underrated
“I told those guys, this may have been our only shot. Do I think that? No. Do I believe that? No. However, I know how hard it is to get here. I’m well aware. And it’s gonna be twice as hard to get back to this point next year than it was this year. That’s […]
Detroit Lions give Jahmyr Gibbs record-breaking contract extension
The hold-in is over.

The initial terms of the extension are a three-year $67.5 million deal that could be worth […]
Lions training camp observations: Several reserves make most of promotions
It was a pretty unique day at Allen Park for Day 7 of Detroit Lions training camp. Not only was it one of the longer practices of training camp—just short of 2.5 hours—but with the humidity seemingly around 130% and the sun bearing down, there were a lot of absences or early exits from players. […]

Mailbag: Which Lions players are overperforming, disappointing in training camp?
Detroit Lions training camp has hit the one-week mark, which is always a good time to do some reflection.

Detroit Lions veteran TE to return from injury
According to the NFL transaction wire, veteran tight end Tyler Conklin has passed his physical after missing the first week of training camp with a calf injury suffered in the spring.

Why the Detroit Lions made a key change to the 1st padded practice
As the Detroit Lions transitioned from individual drills to team drills on Monday—the first training camp practice with full pads—a familiar scene arrived. On the far field, the players amassed in a semicircle around coach Dan Campbell. Training camp veterans and keen-eyed witnesses knew what was coming next. It’s the very same thing that has […]
