Detroit Lions DE Aidan Hutchinson took what was a miserable situation and turned it into something positive.

Aidan Hutchinson had never spent a day in a hospital, let alone two.

But after breaking his tibia and fibula against the Cowboys in Week 6, as his team flew home to Detroit, Hutchinson had to stay back in Dallas for emergency surgery. Given the marvels of modern medicine, it was just a two-day stay at the hospital for Hutchinson, but even that was far too long for the eager Detroit Lions defensive end.

“Staying in a hospital for a couple days in...

Detroit Lions rookie receiver Isaac TeSlaa will fit right in with his hatred of the Green Bay Packers.

We all know that Detroit Lions wide receiver Amon-Ra St. Brown hates the Green Bay Packers. He’s even got the shirt to prove it.

It probably comes as no surprise that St. Brown’s newest teammate—third-round pick Isaac TeSlaa—happens to share those same sentiments. TeSlaa, a Michigan native and lifelong Lions fan, shared his hatred of the Packers on the St. Brown Brothers podcast last week while he was in Los Angeles for the NFLPA Rookie Premiere event.

“I hate the Packers with...

DJ Reader is already raving about Tyleik Williams’ intelligence.

Let’s start this off with something very clear and obvious: it’s impossible to know how Detroit Lions defensive Tyleik Williams will be as an NFL player before he’s even taken a single padded rep in practice. I know that. You know that. Good, we got that out of the way.

That said, the Lions’ first-round pick is already starting to impress some of the players and coaches around him.

Nose tackle DJ Reader, a nine-year veteran who not-so-coincidentally sits next to Williams in the meeting room, is already praising the 22-year-old’s...

Sticking with the current offseason theme, who do you think would be the Lions’ best flag football player of all-time?

Personally, I am pretty excited about the news of flag football being included in the 2028 Olympics. And while it isn’t the real thing in terms of 11-on-11 football, it is a way to further the game on a global scale.

For a player like Detroit Lions star running back Jahmyr Gibbs—already one of the league’s most popular players—it could be an opportunity to build up quite the international fan base. In fact, this could really be a “Dream Team”...

Aidan Hutchinson confirmed he is fully cleared from his injury and ready to participate in Detroit Lions OTAs.

Aidan Hutchinson no longer has any restrictions from his injury suffered last October. The Detroit Lions defensive end told the media on Thursday during his first press conference since the injury that he is medically cleared for everything.

“I got cleared a while back, and I’m just rolling with the boys now,” Hutchinson said. “And it feels like I’m back to being myself again.”

He would later clarify that he is “fully cleared.”

Hutchinson suffered a broken tibia and fibula during a...

With a new set of coordinators, Detroit Lions head coach Dan Campbell can cement himself as a top head coach in football.

It’s list season!

We’re starting to see some NFL analysts produce their offseason content to fill time, and that means ranking players, positions, coaches, and everything in between. The Detroit Lions are likely to top several of those lists, but one person out there still seems to draw some skepticism: Lions coach Dan Campbell.

Many still perceive Campbell as the meathead, motivational type—and that type only. And now that he’s lost “offensive genius” Ben Johnson, some are expecting...

Should Detroit Lions fans be confident in new offensive coordinator John Morton and defensive coordinator Kelvin Sheppard? We debate.

As NFL analysts begin to make their predictions for the 2025 NFL season, you can already sense some skepticism about the Detroit Lions. While even the most jaded talking head will admit that the Lions roster remains one of the best in the NFL, the biggest source of doubt comes from the change at both coordinator positions.

The loss of offensive coordinator Ben Johnson will be used all offseason as an excuse to believe Detroit’s Super Bowl window is closed or...

Breaking down Detroit Lions 1st-round pick Tyleik Williams’ rookie contract.

On Wednesday, the Detroit Lions announced that they had signed 2025 first-round pick Tyleik Williams to his rookie contract. That puts six of the Lions’ seven draft picks now under contract. The lone exception is second-round pick Tate Ratledge. As a reminder, it’s typically second-round picks who take the longest to sign their first NFL contract because there is more wiggle room when it comes to negotiating. As an example, Texans receiver Jayden Higgins became the first ever second-round pick to earn a fully guaranteed contract earlier this year—something typically...

Was the NFL right in keeping the tush push, or does it need to get banned? Polling Detroit Lions fans.

On Wednesday, the tush push ban died a calamitous death. After months and months and months of debate, the NFL did not get the votes they needed to ban the controversial play. While the majority of team owners wanted the play out of the game, the league requires two-thirds votes to pass new bylaws, and they came up two votes short (22-10).

The Detroit Lions were one of the 10 dissenters, and I wrote up [why I think the lack...

The tush push is here to stay, and that’s good news for the Detroit Lions.

On Wednesday, the NFL opted not to ban the tush push. The proposal, initially submitted by the Green Bay Packers, was aimed to disallow the play made popular by the Philadelphia Eagles in which quarterback Jalen Hurts would run a quarterback sneak in a short-yardage situation and have a player or two (typically from the backfield) push him from behind to gain additional power.

However, the proposal—even after recent adjustments—did not get the owners they needed (24 of 32 is required to pass a new...

After making some tweaks to their playoff seeding proposal, the Detroit Lions decided to nix the whole thing.

The Detroit Lions have withdrawn their proposal to revise NFL playoff seeding rules, which aimed to prioritize regular-season records over division titles to determine playoff positions. This initiative sought to address scenarios like the 2024 season, where the 14-3 Minnesota Vikings, despite their strong record, were seeded fifth and had to play on the road, while division winners—like the Tampa Bay Buccaneers and Los Angeles Rams last season—hosted games with lesser records.

After tweaking their initial change, [the Lions’ proposal suggested that...

Time for our periodic Detroit Lions fan approval poll for head coach Dan Campbell.

The face of the Detroit Lions for the past four years has been head coach Dan Campbell. Typically, being the face of this organization means being the target of constant criticism, and while Campbell has received a fair share, he has seemed to accomplish the impossible: becoming a universally-loved Detroit Lions head coach.

If you look at our most recent approval polls of Dan Campbell, in three of the past four installments, he’s received a 100 percent approval rating. These days, it’s nearly impossible for everyone...
