What do you want to see against the Commanders?
For the first time in 2026, your Detroit Lions are back inside the friendly confines of Ford Field, playing in their second preseason game of the year as they host the Washington Commanders. There were plenty of positives and negatives from last week’s game against the Cincinnati Bengals, with this week’s game against Washington being […]
4 roster hints left by Detroit Lions ST coordinator Dave Fipp
In just over a week, the Detroit Lions will have to reduce their roster total from 90 players to 53. It’s a devastating day for players, and a tough one for front offices who often agonize over the final few roster spots. Through training camp practices and preseason performances, we do our best to try […]
Lions try out 2 veteran guards, including former Detroit 1st-round pick
According to the daily NFL transaction wire, the Detroit Lions tried out two veteran guards on Thursday: Will Hernandez and Laken Tomlinson. As of Thursday evening, neither player had signed with Detroit, but it is certainly notable that the team is looking at the guard position. It is likely no coincidence that the Lions are […]
Lions training camp observations: Jack Campbell dominates, OL struggles
Observations are going to be relatively short from Thursday’s practice, because the Detroit Lions opted to finish this week of training camp by winding things down. Coach Dan Campbell thought the team had just finished a series of strong practices, including a long scrimmage on Sunday, so it was appropriate to pull back on Day […]
Detroit Lions injury update: Ennis Rakestraw leaves practice early
The Detroit Lions were supposed to have a quick, non-padded practice as they prepare for preseason Game 2. Unfortunately, the game of football can be cruel even during the less intense practices. Lions cornerback Ennis Rakestraw suffered an injury toward the end of practice and did not return. Let’s get more into that injury and […]
Detroit Lions to start QB Josh Dobbs; select starters vs. Commanders
The Detroit Lions will take on the Washington Commanders in their second game of the 2026 preseason on Saturday afternoon. With several position battles still unsettled and a lot of younger players added to the roster this offseason, the Lions are hoping to get some answers in this game. “You need to feel like things […]
Sam LaPorta injury update: Lions unsure if TE will miss start to season
On Thursday, Detroit Lions coach Dan Campbell offered an injury update on a couple of players, but none were more important than his star tight end, Sam LaPorta. Per Campbell, LaPorta suffered a hip injury in practice recently, and the team is holding him out to let it calm down. “He got hit in the […]
Lions LB Jack Campbell’s favorite play for 2025 is insane and awesome
On Wednesday night, the Detroit Lions quietly dropped a short video entitled “Jack Campbell: Under the Lights.” It’s a profile on the Lions’ starting MIKE linebacker, and gives some insight into the position and what makes him so good at it. But what was profoundly amazing in the video is when Campbell talks about his […]
Madden 27 simulation: Predicting the Detroit Lions’ 2026 season
The 2025 Detroit Lions season was one to forget. Coming off a historic 2024 season, which was cannibalized by injuries and a disappointing NFC Divisional Round exit to the Washington Commanders, expectations were high. Unfortunately, the injuries returned, and the team couldn’t overcome them, finishing 9-8 and missing the playoffs entirely. For 2026, the expectations […]
5 burning questions prior to the Detroit Lions’ 2026 season kicking off
The Detroit Lions will kickoff their second game of the preseason, this time at home against the Washington Commanders on Saturday, and as the possibilities and promise of a summer’s training camp fade into the night, the rise of the midnight sun comes to sweat you in your bed. Here are five burning questions still […]
Discussion: Which Detroit Lions position battle is the tightest?
We’re past the halfway point of training camp, and we’re rapidly approaching cutdown date. The Detroit Lions’ personnel department has some tough decisions ahead, and with the amount of competition across the roster, it may be the hardest year to predict what they will end up doing. There are some easier positions to predict. For […]
4 takeaways from Lions training camp Day 15: Derrick Moore breaks out
The Detroit Lions have had some bad injury luck with their 2026 NFL Draft class. They already lost fifth-round pick Kendrick Law for the season, Jimmy Rolder has been out since the first week of training camp, and second-round pick Derrick Moore suffered a groin injury early this month. But Moore has recently returned, and […]
Detroit Lions injury news: Jameson Williams returns, Sam LaPorta out
For the last time in front of fans, the Detroit Lions took the field Wednesday for training camp. There will still be a handful of practices before the end of the preseason, but the rest will be with only media on hand. Wednesday saw the return of a couple key players, but the sidelining of […]
Detroit Lions players with most to gain, lose in preseason game vs. Commanders
Myself and my good friend and host of the PODcast, Meko Scott, are back with a new episode of, ‘Before the Roar,’ where we take a look ahead to the Detroit Lions’ second preseason game of 2026 against the Washington Commanders. After a productive Week 1 of the preseason where the Lions ultimately fell short […]
Saints likely to be without 2 offensive weapons vs. Lions in Week 1
This is your reminder that the Detroit Lions aren’t the only team dealing with preseason injuries. In fact, the Lions’ Week 1 opponent is going through it when it comes to their offensive weapons. Earlier in the week, it was announced that Saints rookie receiver Jordyn Tyson—the eighth overall pick in the 2026 NFL Draft—is […]
Film breakdown: How the Lions are finding their own way to play more nickel
It’s the preseason. Core starters are in street clothes. The Detroit Lions weren’t game-planning for the Cincinnati Bengals, and they surely weren’t going to show everything defensive coordinator Kelvin Sheppard has planned for the 2026 season. Yet, there were things worth watching to gain insight into the evolution of Sheppard’s defense in his second year […]
13 standouts from Day 14 of Detroit Lions training camp
The Detroit Lions changed things up for Day 14 of training camp, practicing Monday night in preparation for the primetime games they’ll play this season. The team also shifted into a full scrimmage format, playing four, nine-minute quarters with a scoring system that pitted the first-team offense and second-team defense against the second-team offense and […]
Survey: Which group will you be watching most closely in Lions vs. Commanders game?
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 position group fans will be watching most closely in this weekend’s preseason game against the Washington Commanders. The Lions still have […]
Former Lions CB Terrion Arnold won’t be able to play for Seahawks right away
Former Detroit Lions cornerback Terrion Arnold appears to be headed for the Seattle Seahawks, but there are a few roadblocks in the way before the former first-round pick can see the field. Arnold and the Seahawks have agreed upon a contract, but Seahawks head coach Mike Macdonald said recently that they’re working through some things […]
Lions rookie LB Jimmy Rolder provides very optimistic injury update
At the start of training camp, the Detroit Lions got some bad luck. Fourth-round pick Jimmy Rolder suffered a hamstring injury that coach Dan Campbell described as something that will keep him out “a while,” but wasn’t a season ender. Another report suggested it wasn’t a severe injury, but that he’ll still “miss some time.” […]
Exclusive interview with Lions front office executive live from training camp
On Monday evening, Pride of Detroit notched another really exciting and fun moment in the history of our site. We got to record our weekly PODcast on the grounds of the Detroit Lions’ practice facility in the hour lead-up to their scrimmage practice. Streaming live just a few feet from where the Lions were warming […]
Observations from Detroit Lions training camp full scrimmage
On Day 14 of 2026 training camp, the Detroit Lions held their annual “night practice,” where they ran a full-squad scrimmage. The team splits in half, with the first-team offense pairing with the second- and third-team defense, while the defensive starters pair with the offensive reserves. It’s a fun, fast-paced practice with a lot of […]
Breaking down the Detroit Lions’ 3 GRIT Plays of the Week vs. Bengals
We’ve spent five years hearing Dan Campbell tell us about GRIT. ESPN has had “C’mon Man!” and “Jacked Up!” on “Monday Night Countdown”, while NFL Network has given us “Angry Runs” on “Good Morning Football.“ And of course “You Got Mossed!” on “Sunday NFL Countdown.“ I figure it’s time we start punching some holes in […]
How preseason game 1 shifted Detroit Lions’ roster bubble on defense
In the Detroit Lions’ 16-14 preseason loss to the Cincinnati Bengals, the defense put on a bit of a show. Despite playing their backups against Joe Burrow and several Bengals starters on offense, the Lions managed to hold Cincinnati to just 10 points and a mere 125 yards in the first half. They were able […]
Discussion: Who is the top sleeper pick to make the Detroit Lions’ roster?
The Detroit Lions are well past the midway point of training camp. In fact, roster cutdown day is less than two weeks away, with teams needing to shrink their roster by Sunday, August 30. For a roster like the Detroit Lions’, the top 40 spots are likely already pretty set. This camp didn’t see many […]
