Five observations from Day 1 of Detroit Lions OTAs, based on team highlights and photos.
On Wednesday, the Detroit Lions took the field for their first of six Organized Team Activity (OTAs) practices over the next two weeks. With media not yet present for Lions practices, all we can gather about the session is from what the Lions themselves offered via highlights and a photo gallery. You can access the photo gallery here. The highlights are below:
Because we’re starved for Lions content (both from a content producer and consumer standpoint), here’s everything notable I noticed:
The Detroit Lions and Houston Texans will reportedly face off in at least one joint practice prior to their preseason game.
The Detroit Lions will, indeed, hold a second set of joint practices this offseason. After the Miami Dolphins announced they will hold at least one joint practice with the Lions prior to their Week 3 preseason game, Houston Texans reporter Jonathan Alexander noted on Wednesday that the Texans and Lions will also be participating in joint practices prior to the team’s preseason finale.
“The final details are being ironed out, but it’s happening,” Alexander added via Twitter.
UPDATE: During...
A collection of everything you need to know about 2025 Detroit Lions OTAs.
Detroit Lions kick off Organized Team Activities (OTAs) on Wednesday, which is a somewhat significant marker on the NFL offseason calendar. For players, it’s the first time offense and defense can come together and compete against each other. And for media and fans, it’s the first time we’ll get a sneak peek at the entire team competing against each other.
But I often see a lot of confusion around OTAs, so consider this a full explainer or Frequently Asked Questions of what OTAs are—and what it means...
Detroit Lions OTAs get underway on Wednesday. What are you hoping to learn about the team?
On Wednesday, the Detroit Lions kick off their first of six Organized Team Activity (OTA) practices. With a shortened spring program—intentionally cut to accommodate an extended preseason with the Hall of Fame Game—the Lions will have to accomplish more in less time this spring. There will only be two weeks of OTAs and no mandatory minicamp this year.
What teams can accomplish during spring practice is limited. While these OTA practices will be the first time the full team can do offense vs. defense...
The Lions traded Darius Slay five years ago. How did it go for Detroit, the Eagles, and Slay?
In 2020, Darius Slay wanted a new contract but didn’t get it with the team that drafted him in the early second round in 2013. Staring at his age-30 season, the Detroit Lions instead sent Slay to the Philadelphia Eagles despite three straight Pro Bowl seasons and an All-Pro nod.
How should Lions fans feel about the trade?
Eagles receive: CB Darius Slay
Lions receive: 2020 third-round pick (85), 2020 fifth-round pick (166)...

The Detroit Lions will reportedly face off against the Miami Dolphins in training camp joint practices.
Earlier this offseason, Detroit Lions coach Dan Campbell said he was in the process of confirming two sets of joint practices for training camp. We now know the identity of one of those teams.
The Miami Dolphins announced last week that they have joint practices with all three of their preseason opponents, including the Lions, prior to the team’s preseason matchup on Saturday, Aug. 16, at 1 p.m. ET. Given that the preseason game is at Ford Field, the joint practices will likely take...
The Detroit Lions are reportedly signing veteran linebacker Zach Cunningham to their roster.
Prior to the start of Organized Team Activities (OTAs) at the end of the week, the Detroit Lions have added another veteran player to their linebacker room. According to NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport, the Lions are signing Zach Cunningham.
A former second-round pick in 2017, Cunningham has had stints with the Houston Texans (2017-21), Tennessee Titans (2021-22), Philadelphia Eagles (2023), and most recently the Denver Broncos (2024). Over the entire course of his career, Cunningham has made 102 game appearances with 86 starts. He was mostly a...
We break down the biggest storylines to watch for 2025 Detroit Lions OTAs and the players we’re most interested in seeing.
On Friday, the Detroit Lions will open up their first of six OTA practices for this offseason. Detroit opted to cut their offseason program significantly this year, likely because they’ll be starting training camp early now that they’re in the preseason Hall of Fame Game. That means one fewer week of OTAs (two instead of three), and mandatory minicamp has been cancelled.
That leaves us with only a small preview into the Lions’ 2025 team this spring. We’ll have...

The Detroit Lions depth chart looks a bit different following free agency and the draft. Who is the biggest winner this offseason?
A new season brings new faces. Now that free agency and the 2025 NFL Draft are squared away, the Detroit Lions depth chart looks a bit different. It’s not as much of a shakeup as we’re used to—as the Lions get good, offseason additions tend not to be key contributors as much as they are depth pieces. Nonetheless, a couple changes stand out.
For starters, the offensive line is bound to look different. It’s still unclear how different,...
