Week 13 comes to a close with a “Monday Night Football” matchup featuring the New York Giants (2-10) and New England Patriots (10-2). While the Detroit Lions don’t have either of these teams on their remaining 2025 schedule, they did just play the Giants, so how they perform against the 10-win Patriots could provide some perspective for Lions fans.

From a rooting perspective, there’s not much for Detroit fans to pull for, so let’s just hope for an interesting and competitive game.

Here’s how to watch tonight’s game:

Giants at Patriots

When: Monday, December 1, 2025 — 8:15 p.m....

The rough sophomore season for Terrion Arnold continues. According to the NFL transaction wire for Monday, the Detroit Lions have placed Arnold on injured reserve after suffering a shoulder injury, per the team’s injury report. Earlier in the year, Arnold missed two games with a shoulder injury that was initially believed to be season-threatening. It’s not clear if this is an aggravation of that injury, but whatever it is, it will sideline Arnold for the majority—if not the entirety—of the remaining 2025 season. The earliest he can return is the regular season finale against the Chicago Bears.

UPDATE: Per Tom...

The Detroit Lions (7-5) and Dallas Cowboys (6-5-1) have declared their initial Week 14 injury reports as they prepare to square off in an NFC showdown. With this game being played on a Thursday, the Lions’ practice schedule is altered this week. Their initial report comes out on Monday, while the injury declarations will be announced on Wednesday.

Let’s take a look at the latest injury report and get you up to date with what we know. Note: Any changes from the last injury report will be bolded.

The Detroit Lions have started the injury evaluation clock on veteran tight end Shane Zylstra, who returned to practice on Monday.

Zylstra suffered an ankle injury during the team’s Week 2 game against the Chicago Bears and has been on injured reserve since. For most of the year, the Lions were able to get by without Zylstra, as he was the team’s TE3 behind Sam LaPorta and Brock Wright.

However, LaPorta is now most likely out for the season after back surgery, and Wright’s season is in danger of being cut short, as well. Wright suffered a trachea injury against...

Voting for the 2026 Pro Bowl is underway. As of Thanksgiving morning, fans are allowed to vote for their favorite players over at probowl.com/vote, with no limit to how many times one can vote in a day.

The first wave of voting is in, as offered by NFL Network’s Tom Pelissero, and 11 Detroit Lions players are currently in the top-10 of Pro Bowl votes at their respective position. No Lions player received more votes than running back Jahmyr Gibbs, who was only behind Jonathan Taylor at his position—but also received the fifth-most votes across all positions.

Here is where...

While a few days ago Detroit Lions coach Dan Campbell said there were only a few plays against the Green Bay Packers in which they should have generated pressure and didn’t, defensive coordinator Kelvin Sheppard was singing a much different tune during his Monday morning press conference.

“I don’t think we’ve affected the quarterback to play any style these last couple of weeks. I don’t care what kind of style we want to play,” Sheppard said. “And the guys understand that and again, that starts with me. I’m not going to just point the finger, ‘You’ve got to win the...

The Detroit Lions haven’t done themselves any favors when it comes to their playoff chances. They’re just 3-4 in their last seven games, and they’ve dropped critical games to the Philadelphia Eagles and Green Bay Packers. In addition to that, though, they’ve gotten a tremendous amount of bad luck when it comes to games out of their control. In Week 13, Detroit again essentially got zero help from the other NFC matchups, and their playoff odds (per the NYT simulator) dropped from 73% after Week 12 to just 30% now.

Let’s take a closer look at the divisional and conference...

The Detroit Lions (7-5) and Dallas Cowboys (6-5-1) will square off in a Week 14 NFC showdown at Ford Field. Heading into this game, these two teams look in vastly different spots. Over the last three weeks, the Lions have lost to the Eagles and Packers, while needing overtime to take care of business against the Giants. Meanwhile, the Cowboys are 3-0 over that same time period, dispatching the Eagles, Chiefs, and Raiders.

However, the folks over at FanDuel Sportsbook apparently subscribe to the House of Reisman and don’t believe in momentum, as they’ve set the **initial betting line at...

The Detroit Lions have a pivotal stretch of football upcoming, yet they will be without some pivotal players for at least some of it.

Even with the good news surrounding Amon-Ra St. Brown’s injury, he figures to miss a week or two recovering from the ankle injury sustained in the loss to the Green Bay Packers. The Lions were already without a go-to option in Sam LaPorta, with the tight end likely to miss the rest of the season. Down two star players, plus injuries to Graham Glasgow, Brock Wright, and Kalif Raymond, the Lions offense is on unstable ground....

As the Detroit Lions prepare for a big game against the Dallas Cowboys this week, they have made a couple of transactional moves to help supplement the roster. The team announced that they’ve signed tight end Giovanni Ricci and running back Jabari Small to the practice squad. In order to make room, they’ve also released Tre Flowers from the practice squad.

Ricci joins the team after they’ve gone through a couple of big injuries. Starter Sam LaPorta is likely out for the year with a back injury. Backup [Brock Wright is dealing with a neck/trachea injury that coach Dan Campbell...

Detroit Lions coach Dan Campbell met with the media on Sunday in preparation for the team’s Thursday game against the Dallas Cowboys. Among many other topics, Campbell provided a bunch of injury updates as they head into another week of Thursday football.

Kerby Joseph will do some individual drills

Joseph hasn’t played since the team’s Week 6 game against the Kansas City Chiefs, and Campbell provided a bit of clarity on what he’s dealing with in regards to his injury. He called it a bone bruise with a little “wear and tear.” He’s missed so much time as they’ve...
