Kerby Joseph injury update: Lions safety posts promising video of progress
We still don’t have a timeline for the return of Detroit Lions safety Kerby Joseph as he continues to rehab from a serious knee injury, but the positive signs continue to accumulate. On Tuesday, Lions coach Dan Campbell said he still expects Joseph to play at some point this season, and hours later, the All-Pro […]
Dan Campbell hints at who will play alongside Brian Branch at safety
We now know that the Detroit Lions plan to play Brian Branch this week against the Green Bay Packers, marking the end of his 10+ month rehab after tearing his Achilles last season. Branch could make an immediate impact on the Lions’ struggling secondary, but Detroit’s coaching staff still has some decisions to make in […]
The Detroit Lions have decided on their starting center vs. Packers
For a few weeks now, we’ve been talking about the crossroads the Detroit Lions are facing at center. Cade Mays signed a three-year, $25 million deal this offseason to take that position, but after fracturing his wrist in training camp, it’s been Juice Scruggs holding down the pivot for the first five games of the […]
5 Lions vs. Packers thoughts after watching Green Bay’s win over Cowboys
The Detroit Lions face off against the Green Bay Packers this week, and the timing could be tough for them. The Packers have shrugged off an ugly start to the season and are now riding a three-game winning streak. Their last two wins in particular—blowout wins over the Bears and Cowboys—have been impressive. I watched […]
Detroit Lions scouting report: Green Bay’s wild season is trending up
After a much-needed bye week, the Detroit Lions are back on the field. They kick off their 2026 campaign to reclaim their NFC North crown against the Green Bay Packers in Ford Field in Week 7.

Survey: Will the Lions beat the Packers in Week 7?
Throughout the offseason, SB Nation will host NFL fan surveys, sponsored by FanDuel Sportsbook.

The Detroit Lions will have their first division game of the season this Sunday, hosting the 4-2 Green Bay Packers at Ford Field for a 4:25 p.m. ET kickoff.

NFL Week 7 power rankings: Are the Detroit Lions a top-10 team?
For many NFL teams, a bye week offers a chance to rest, recover, and reset their focus as they push through the rest of the season. It also creates a mixed bag of perspectives on where they stand relative to the rest of the League. For example, the Detroit Lions entered their Week 6 bye […]
Detroit Lions replace veteran nose tackle with rookie on practice squad
The Detroit Lions made a minor but interesting move on their practice squad on Tuesday afternoon. The team announced they have released veteran nose tackle Chris Smith and replaced him with rookie nose tackle Aidan Keanaaina. Smith is a well-respected player within the building, and even got some early reps in training camp and the […]

Detroit Lions still expect Kerby Joseph to play this year
While the Detroit Lions are getting one of their Pro Bowl safeties back this week in Brian Branch, the return of the other—Kerby Joseph—remains a bit of a mystery. Joseph has now been sidelined for over a year with a knee injury that has been described as inoperable and chronic. Joseph’s timeline has seemingly been […]
Detroit Lions bye week evaluation: Is the team really on the rise?
One of the more interesting comments from Detroit Lions coach Dan Campbell on Monday was his level of optimism at the bye week compared to last year. Even though Detroit had come off a big win over the Tampa Bay Buccaneers to move to 5-2 last year, Campbell said he feels better about this season […]
Film study: Packers’ deep passing attack is a paper tiger
The Detroit Lions (3-2) will take on their first divisional opponent in Week 7 as the Green Bay Packers (4-2) come to Ford Field Sunday afternoon fresh off two big wins. Let’s just get straight to the point and talk about the elephant in the room. All eyes will be on the Lions defense—and particularly […]
Discussion: How should the Detroit Lions handle Cade Mays’ return?
On Monday, Detroit Lions coach Dan Campbell announced the impending return of two key players. Barring some unforeseen setback, starting center Cade Mays and safety Brian Branch will make their 2026 debuts on Sunday afternoon against the Green Bay Packers. For Branch, his return is pretty simple. While it sounds like the Lions will limit […]
Monday Night Football live chat, discussion: 49ers vs. Commanders
Week 6 closes out with an NFC matchup between the San Francisco 49ers and Washington Commanders. The 49ers look like the best team in football right now, despite dealing with a ton of injuries. The Commanders, on the other hand, are just another team in a flailing NFC East division. On the surface, this looks […]
Why Dan Campbell is more optimistic at the bye week than he was in 2025
Last year, the Detroit Lions entered the bye week with a solid 5-2 record coming off of a big win over the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. This year, the Lions are 3-2 at the bye with a couple of narrow victories over the Jets and Saints and a couple of decisive losses to the Bills and […]
Brian Branch, Cade Mays to play vs. Packers, but workload undecided
Out of the bye week, Detroit Lions coach Dan Campbell confirmed that both Brian Branch and Cade Mays will make their 2026 debuts against the Green Bay Packers this week. Branch will see the field for the first time since suffering a torn Achilles in early December. Mays will make his Lions debut after suffering […]
The NFC North is dominant, but each team has a fatal flaw
Through six weeks of the 2026 NFL season, it looks like the NFC North may be the best division in football. Only the NFC and AFC North have all four teams with winning records, and when compared to the rest of the NFC, there is no comparison. The NFC North has four teams above .500, […]
Discussion: Which Detroit Lions player needs to have a bigger impact post-bye?
A winning football team is typically a well-oiled machine. While the Detroit Lions have won three games to start the 2026 season, there is still room to improve. Five games into the year, it has been a mixed bag for the Lions. The offense is humming, averaging almost 33 points per game. The defense is […]
Sunday Night Football open thread: Cowboys at Packers
Sunday night comes to a close with a big NFC matchup in primetime. Detroit Lions fans will want to watch closely as the Green Bay Packers—Detroit’s next opponent—host the Dallas Cowboys. The Packers look rebounded after a concerning 1-2 start to the season. They’ve now won two in a row, including an impressive and decisive […]
The transformation of Lions safety Brian Branch
When Detroit Lions star defensive back Brian Branch returns to the field in the next few weeks, many around the team are hoping they will get the same player that everyone grew accustomed to seeing prior to him suffering an Achilles injury in December of 2025. However, Branch has also gone through a transformation during […]

Where do the Lions rank in the NFC right now?
The NFC isn’t looking quite as strong as it did, even a few weeks ago. This week kicked off with the Seattle Seahawks losing their third game of the season. Last year, the defending Super Bowl champions lost only three games for the entire 2025 season. What was thought to be clearly the best division […]

Last week, Detroit Lions linebacker Jack Campbell received a $15,930 fine for a hip- drop tackle against the Carolina Panthers. This week, it was DJ Wonnum who was fined for the same infraction, costing him $12,611 out of his paycheck. As we explained in the story about Campbell’s penalty, there’s more concern than just a […]
