On Thursday, it was revealed that 49ers fullback Kyle Juszczyk received a $14,926 fine for his “juice” celebration of what appears to be a cracking-of-a-beer motion followed by drinking it.

Why Lions WR Isaac TeSlaa has limited targets, and when that will change
Through two games, Detroit Lions receiver Isaac TeSlaa has just six targets and two catches—one being a garbage time conversion on fourth-and-18 while down 17 points with about two minutes left.

Jamaal Williams was one of the most beloved players for the Detroit Lions during his two-year stint with the team from 2021-22.
