The Detroit Lions released their Week 12 initial injury report, and it’s good news for tight end Sam LaPorta.

The Detroit Lions (9-1) are back on the road in Week 12, traveling to Indiana to take on the Indianapolis Colts (5-6).

Just like the previous two weeks, the Lions are starting the week slow and running a walkthrough to begin the practice portion of the week. Unfortunately, these types of practices are not open to the media, and therefore, today’s injury report will be based on how the coaches estimate players would have participated, had there been a full practice....

The Detroit Lions activated Brodric Martin, and added a new safety to the practice squad.

The Detroit Lions officially announced that Brodric Martin has been activated to the 53-man roster—as previously reported. But along with that move, the Lions also made a subtle change to their practice squad.

The team announced on Wednesday that they’ve cut safety, Erick Hallett, from the practice squad and replaced him with free agent safety Kaevon Merriweather.

Merriweather, a Belleview native, went undrafted in 2023 out of Iowa but quickly signed with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers for his rookie season. He was good enough to...

Detroit Lions QB Jared Goff somehow was snubbed of NFC Offensive Player of the Week after posting a perfect 158.3 passer rating, 400+ yards and four touchdowns.

You’d figure that Detroit Lions quarterback Jared Goff would have been a shoo-in for NFC Offensive Player of the Week after his performance against the Jacksonville Jaguars. As a quick reminder, he completed 24-of-29 passes for 412 yards, four touchdowns, zero interceptions, zero sacks, and a perfect 158.3 passer rating. It was only the seventh time in NFL history a quarterback has finished with over 400 yards passing and a perfect passer rating—and...

A handful of Detroit Lions earned weekly honors after the team’s obliteration of the Jacksonville Jaguars.

It’s no surprise that the Detroit Lions earned several awards and honors after their 52-6 dismantling of the Jacksonville Jaguars. It was near perfection from the offense and another strong day at the office from the defense. Let’s run through the honors in Wednesday’s edition of Lions Notes—knowing that more could be coming soon (Jared Goff: NFC Offensive Player of the Week?)

Let’s start with PFF’s Team of the Week for Week 11. The Lions had four representatives on the team: QB Jared Goff...

Mailbag! Which NFL team is best equipped to beat the Detroit Lions, if any?

The Detroit Lions are atop the NFL mountain. They’re tied for the best record in the NFL at 9-1, they’ve got a historically-high DVOA through 10 games, and they’re essentially the unanimous best team in the NFL according to Week 12 power rankings across the web.

But there is no such thing as an unbeatable team. The 2007 undefeated New England Patriots lost to the Giants in the Super Bowl. The Kansas City Chiefs, for all of their greatness over the past few years, have lost...

Breaking down the All-22 of how new Lions defensive end Za’Darius Smith looked in his debut with the team.

For weeks leading up to the NFL trade deadline, fans of the Detroit Lions clamored for general manager Brad Holmes to make a move. And not just any move, something that was going to move the needle for a team with legitimate championship aspirations.

Despite it still being prior to the halfway point of the season at the time, Detroit’s defensive front had been decimated by injuries, headlined by the loss of star edge rusher Aidan Hutchinson. As the hour approached,...

The Indianapolis Colts are fighting to stay alive in the postseason discussion, can they boost it with a upset over the Lions? A deeper look in our Detroit Lions Week 12 scouting report.

The Super Bowl favorite Detroit Lions head back on the road this week after returning to Ford Field to showcase a 52-6 drumming against the Jacksonville Jaguars last week. The Lions don’t have to go far, though, as they travel down to Indiana to play the Indianapolis Colts in the series finale of AFC South opponents. The Lions have already taken down the other three teams in...

Detroit’s offense got back on track this week in a historic way. That and more in this week’s look at advanced key statistics from Lions-Jaguars.

Perfection is something we all might strive for in one way or another, but it can take people years—even a lifetime—to reach that condition or state of flawlessness. For offensive coordinator Ben Johnson, quarterback Jared Goff, and the rest of the Detroit Lions offense, it only took until Week 11 to play some perfect football.

As we’ll do every week throughout the season for this Detroit Lions team, we have some data we can comb...
