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.

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 […]

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 […]

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.

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 […]

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 […]

On Friday, the Detroit Lions tried out a trio of defensive players: defensive tackle Folorunso Fatukasi, and cornerbacks Ryan Cooper and Anthony Kendall.

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?

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
