The Detroit Lions (6-3) and Philadelphia Eagles (7-2) were back on the practice field on Thursday as they prepare for their showdown on “Sunday Night Football.” There are a few concerning injuries on the Lions’ side of things, including tight end Sam LaPorta missing his second straight practice and cornerback Amik Robertson being a mid-week addition to the injury report.
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.

Detroit Lions offensive coordinator John Morton had to face the music on Thursday afternoon—just over a week since coach Dan Campbell stripped him of play-calling duties and took care of it himself. But you wouldn’t be able to tell that this press conference was any different from his previous ones. That’s because he repeated a mantra that he’s been saying all year, even when the offense was humming: it’s about the team.
“I want to do whatever it takes to win. As soon as (Campbell) said (it)—I’m like alright, let’s go. What have we got to do?” Morton said. “That’s...

One of the biggest storylines coming out of the Detroit Lions’ victory over the Washington Commanders this past Sunday was Dan Campbell taking over as playcaller.
In the following days, both local and national media have weighed in — showering Campbell with praise for a few different reasons.
On the Rich Eisen Show, Hall of Fame QB Kurt Warner said he not only loved the decision to take over at calling plays, but the way it was framed. The automatic overreaction could have been that offensive coordinator John Morton simply isn’t “the guy,” but that’s not how Campbell put it....

While we await who will be named the 2025 Detroit Lions Thanksgiving halftime show performer, the team announced on Thursday a partnership with local rap artist Eminem (AKA Marshall Mathers) that will go through the 2027 season. Per the agreement, Eminem and his long-time manager, Paul Rosenberg, will produce the Thanksgiving halftime show for the next three years.
“We’re thrilled to be working with Marshall and Paul, who are two of the most accomplished and respected names in the music industry, not to mention longtime Lions fans,” Detroit Lions president & CEO Rod Wood said via a written statement. “Their...

It’s hard to believe we’re nearly two-thirds of the way through the NFL regular season. Feels like just yesterday it was pumpkin patches and cider mills, but if you’re a local Michigander, you came face to face with Old Man Winter earlier this week. Good thing Ford Field has a roof.
As we have done in past seasons, our staff will be making weekly predictions for every game on the NFL schedule. Each of the Pride of Detroit staff will pick the moneyline (winner of the game, no spread), but some of the members will also pick against the spread...

The Detroit Lions (6-3) and Philadelphia Eagles (7-2) will square off in a Week 11 battle between two of the best teams in the NFC. In a matchup many were expecting to see in the NFC Championship game last season, this game once again has the potential for major playoff implications.
While both teams are loaded with talent, each has experienced some attrition on their coaching staff. Three of the four coordinators on these teams last season departed for head coaching positions in the offseason, as the Lions lost coordinators Ben Johnson (Bears) and Aaron Glenn (Jets), while the Eagles...

A moment from the Detroit Lions’ 44-22 victory over the Washington Commanders went viral. In the video, captured by FOX sideline cameras, coach Dan Campbell is seen becoming emotional after making a play call. Moments later, Jared Goff threw a touchdown pass to Jameson Williams to put the team up 32-10 in the third quarter.
Many people, including the NFL’s official Instagram account, interpreted the moment as Campbell knowing the play would work and getting fired up before the play was even run.
It turns out that is not what happened at all. On his podcast episode this week, [Lions...

It wasn’t long ago that football in Detroit looked a lot different from the outside looking in.
Remember when Rob Gronkowski said he would rather have retired than play for the Lions? What about when a former Lions starting cornerback told Nate Burelson that Detroit was where careers went to die?
The Lions brought back Ahmed Hassanein earlier this week, signing their former sixth-round pick of the 2025 NFL Draft to the team’s practice squad. For a franchise once regarded as desolate and empty on expectations as any team in sports, one thing led Hassanein back to this Lions team:...

After Week 1 loss to Packers: 53%
Week 2 win over Bears: 85%

Week 4 win...

There’s nothing quite like the excitement inside the Lions Radio Network on the average game day, but it’s especially fun when the Detroit Lions are steamrolling their opponent.
The Lions released some of the best calls from the Lions Radio Network team of Dan Miller, Lomas Brown and T.J. Lang. Expect a lot of yelling after the Lions blew the Washington Commanders out on their own turf to the tune of 44-22.
Side note of appreciation—from a broadcasting perspective, it’s wild to me that Dan Miller and Lomas Brown don’t look at each other. You can see that in the...

The Detroit Lions (6-3) and Philadelphia Eagles (7-2) have declared their initial Week 11 injury reports, and the Lions have returned another two injured reserve players to practice. The Lions now have five players on their injury list who have begun practicing in preparation to return over the next few weeks. That being said, the Lions also had several players not practicing to start the week—including five starters—making for lots of players to monitor this week.
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...

With the Philadelphia Eagles on deck for the Detroit Lions, the chatter about the infamous tush push has already overtaken Detroit. The short-yardage play has become synonymous with the Eagles offense, as its success rate of 91.3% on third or fourth-and-1 from 2022-24 is a huge weapon on critical plays.
So, yeah, the Lions are thinking about the play, and hoping to find a way to stop it.
“We’ve talked about it. Look, we know. We’ve got a plan, we’ve got an idea,” coach Dan Campbell said Wednesday. “You’ve got to execute, and if you don’t, you’ve got to line...
