Detroit Lions rookie defensive tackle Tyleik Williams was limited in his first action, as part of the team’s plan for the first-round pick.
Detroit Lions first-round pick Tyleik Williams was limited in his first NFL action on the opening day of rookie minicamp. When the team opened up with 11-on-11 walkthroughs, Williams was given limited reps at nose tackle. Then, when the team moved to individual drills, Williams worked one-on-one with a trainer on the hill at the back of the practice field. Eventually, he would leave practice a little early.
After practice, Williams downplayed his limited involvement, noting that...

Detroit Lions second-round pick Tate Ratledge is already getting significant looks at center.
On Friday morning, Detroit Lions assistant general manager Ray Agnew mentioned that he was excited about second-round pick Tate Ratledge’s versatility on the interior offensive line.

A couple hours later, Lions media saw exactly what he meant by that, as Ratledge began 11-on-11 walkthroughs as the team’s starting center....

A look at the jersey numbers for the Detroit Lions’ 2025 draft picks and UDFAs.
As the Detroit Lions prepare to start rookie minicamp this weekend, the team revealed initial jersey numbers for their entire class of seven NFL Draft picks and their 10 undrafted rookie class (UDFAs). I say initial because it’s important to remember that rookies often change their jersey number once the roster is trimmed from 90 to 53 players. Right now, the choices in numbers are relatively limited, but plenty will free up after the Lions establish their initial 53-man roster.
In other words, if you’re...

We break down what the Detroit Lions defensive line may look like and how they may treat subpackage personnel.
Without a doubt, the biggest question mark on the Detroit Lions is their defensive line. Lions general manager Brad Holmes has pumped a lot of resources into the position—drafting Alim McNeill, Levi Onwuzurike, Aidan Hutchinson, Josh Paschal, James Houston, Brodric Martin, Mekhi Wingo, and now Tyleik Williams—but there are still plenty of questions at hand. On this week’s Midweek Mailbag podcast, Erik Schlitt and I try to answer them all.
The biggest question is who will start opposite Hutchinson. The easy...
