It sounds like Detroit Lions safety Kerby Joseph will not play this week against the Los Angeles Rams, and the rest of his 2025 season may be in jeopardy, as well. On Friday, Lions head coach Dan Campbell said Joseph suffered a setback with his knee injury during practice this Wednesday.

“Kerby had a setback, so obviously, not as—don’t feel as good about that,” Campbell said regarding Joseph’s availability this week.

Joseph has not played since Week 6 due to a knee injury that has lingered for much of the season. And while the Lions have been patient and hopeful...

Detroit Lions wide receiver Jameson Williams was named the NFL Week 15 NFL Players Association Community MVP, the union announced on Friday. The recognition is given to a player each week who exemplifies making a positive impact in their hometown or team city. As this week’s winner, Williams will receive a $10,000 donation to his foundation or charity of choice. Williams does have his own foundation—the Jameson Williams Foundation—that strives to “uplift and empower the youth and their families.”

Williams received the honors this week for providing 250 winter coats to students at Detroit Boxing Gym, which supports local children...

Two top teams are looking to secure their playoff spots this Sunday as the Detroit Lions take on the Los Angeles Rams.

The 10-3 Rams are a beast of an opponent on the Lions’ rocky path to the playoffs. Former Lion Matthew Stafford is having an all-star season, as Detroit continues to battle injury after injury.

On Pride of Detroit, we’ve got Erik Schlitt breaking down Dallas’ offensive and defensive schemes, a preview with our SB Nation counterpart Turf Show Times from Ryan Mathews, and six takeaways from the Lions coordinators press conference from Jeremy Reisman.

Once you’re done with...

The Detroit Lions (8-5) and Los Angeles Rams (10-3) will square off in a Week 15 matchup at SoFi Stadium in Los Angeles, California.

“Very good opponent, playing at a very high level,” Lions coach Dan Campbell said earlier this week. “They’ve got players at every level. Good coaching, productive team. This’ll be a big challenge on the road at their place, but once again, looking forward to this. This is why you’re in it.”

If the Lions want to get back to their winning ways, they’ll need to follow the keys to victory laid out in this week’s Honolulu...

The Detroit Lions and Los Angeles Rams face off in yet another critical NFC matchup. The Rams are fighting for the No. 1 seed in the conference, while Detroit is scrambling to just get into the postseason.

While the Lions need this game more, the Rams have been playing better football recently. But is the matchup as lopsided as it may seem? Let’s take a statistical look at the matchup in our Detroit Lions vs. Los Angeles Rams “On Paper” preview and prediction.

With the news that the Detroit Lions will indeed be playing a game outside of the United States next season, it got me thinking on the NFL’s desire to expand the game. The game has always been wildly popular here in the states, but even that popularity has grown exponentially over the last decade or so. If you are looking for some proof, look no further than the NFL’s interest in taking over the holiday season completely.

For instance, in year’s past, Christmas Day had belonged to the NBA for some time. The NFL kept to itself on weekends, and...

Another bold prediction not coming true. While it wasn’t the biggest whiff I’ve had this year, only missing it by six points, it’s still a miss. This week, I am going with a simple prediction that might not seem bold, but given the circumstances, it isn’t something people expect.

This week the Detroit Lions go on the road to take on the top team in the NFC, the Los Angeles Rams. Led by quarterback Matthew Stafford, this team has been explosive for most of the season. At 10-3, they are in a similar boat the Lions were last year when...

The Detroit Lions (8-5) and Los Angeles Rams (10-3) were back on the practice field on Thursday and have updated their injury reports based on the latest participation levels.

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.

No practice

• LT Taylor Decker (shoulder)
• S Kerby Joseph (knee) — Downgraded from limited practice
• S Brian Branch (Achilles)

Decker typically sits out at least one practice each week, as part of his injury management program. And...

On Thursday, Detroit Lions coordinators met with the media to discuss the Cowboys win and the upcoming game against the Los Angeles Rams. Topics this week ranged from how to stay disciplined when Matthew Stafford is trying to manipulate the defense, how Detroit has adjusted to the loss of tight ends and Brian Branch, and more issues with blocked field goals.

Here are my six biggest takeaways from the media sessions.

If you go all the way back to training camp, the Lions are currently missing five...

When Kalif Raymond went down with an ankle injury in the Detroit Lions’ Week 12 win over the New York Giants, it appeared they had lost one of their biggest weapons on special teams. While this hasn’t been Raymond’s best year, he’s a two-time All Pro and even had a punt return touchdown earlier this season.

But in the two weeks Raymond has been sidelined, Tom Kennedy has been a revelation. A wideout that has spent the majority of his seven-year career on the practice squad, Kennedy finally got significant action as the team’s kick returner, and he didn’t squander...

One month of football remains for the majority of the league, but for those teams good enough—or lucky enough to play in an uncompetitive division—there’s a chance to continue their 2025 season beyond the Gregorian calendar.

This week, we had the pleasure of connecting with Evan Craig from Turf Show Times, to give us some insight into what many consider to be the cream of the NFC’s crop. We learned about how Matthew Stafford is playing the best football of his career at age 37, an under-the-radar signing at linebacker that’s propelled the Rams’ defense to new heights, and why...

We’re just two weeks away from Saint Nick dropping by your home to spread Christmas cheer—and a gentle reminder to re-up your Netflix subscription so you can watch what the NFL has to offer. But until then, we can watch football as our forefathers intended: broadcast across local TV stations from coast to coast.

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...
