Lions signing Darrell Daniels to 53-man roster—a new fullback?
David Reginek-USA TODAY Sports The Detroit Lions are signing tight end Darrell Daniels from their practice squad, but it looks like he may be headed to a fullback role for an injured Jason Cabinda. According to his agent, Detroit Lions practice squad tight end Darrell Daniels is signing to the team’s 53-man roster. At first, the transaction may look weird, as none of the team’s current three tight ends are on the injury report. However, this appears to be a move in response to an injury to fullback Jason Cabinda, instead. Cabinda popped up on the injury report this...

VIDEO: Jared Goff called his shot before 45-yard TD to Sam LaPorta
Junfu Han / USA TODAY NETWORK Detroit Lions quarterback Jared Goff knew a big play was coming to Sam LaPorta while still in the huddle. Sometimes you just know when a play is going to work. That was the case for Detroit Lions quarterback Jared Goff last Sunday against the Atlanta Falcons. Coming out of an injury timeout, Goff huddled with the team, and—as captured on NFL Films’ “Inside the NFL”—he told his team they were about to connect on a big play. “I don’t know if y’all want to know, but this is the one,” Goff is heard saying to the huddle.

Lions vs. Packers 5Qs preview: Can Detroit take advantage of Green Bay injuries?
USA Today NETWORK-Wisconsin A preview with Acme Packing Co.’s Justis Mosqueda about the Week 4 matchup between the Detroit Lions and Green Bay Packers. “Thursday Night Football” at Lamborghini Lambeau Field this early in the season would seem like a treat near the quarter pole of the NFL season, but it’s been a stark reminder of how this schedule is a war of attrition, as both of these teams are working to get key players back on the field for this divisional showdown between the Detroit Lions and Green Bay Packers. As always, we would never pass up the...

Lions vs. Packers preview podcast: Is Jordan Love good?
Photo by Patrick McDermott/ We previewed Lions vs. Packers with Dusty Evely, and tried to get to the bottom of Jordan Love’s confusing start. It’s the Jordan Love era in Green Bay, and it appears it’s off to a promising start. The Green Bay Packers are 2-1 with a share of the division lead, and Love is coming off an emotional comeback victory, in which he helped erase a 17-point, fourth quarter deficit in front of his home crowd. But a deeper look into Love’s start to the 2023 season produces some very confusing results. His completion percentage above...

Discussion: Who has been the Lions’ MVP so far this season?
Photo by Steven King/Icon Sportswire via The Lions have had several key contributors through three weeks. The Detroit Lions have found themselves at 2-1 through one of the tougher stretches of their schedule this season, and there’s not a single, particular player that has been the key to victory. The Lions have found ways to win (as championship teams do) through their quarterback, their defenders, their skill positions—heck, through their rookies. With that being the case, who is the Lions’ MVP through three games? Question of the day: Who has been the...

Notes: Jared Goff’s crowd jump fail hilariously mic’d up
Junfu Han / USA TODAY NETWORK Detroit Lions QB Jared Goff failed to jump into the crowd after scoring a touchdown on Sunday—and he was mic’d up during it. Detroit Lions quarterback Jared Goff has been excellent for the team this year. He currently ranks fifth in the NFL in passer rating, fourth in QBR, and fourth in PFF grade. But on Sunday against the Atlanta Falcons, he had two of his worst moments as a Lion: an interception in which he called “the worst ball I’ve ever thrown,” and a post-touchdown attempt at jumping in the crowd that failed miserably....

4 key stats for Lions vs. Falcons: Detroit’s rookie class paces the NFL
Lon Horwedel-USA TODAY Sports A look at four advanced statistics from the Detroit Lions’ victory over the Atlanta Falcons in Week 3. The last time the Detroit Lions held a team without a touchdown was five years ago during Matt Patricia’s inaugural season as head coach, so it wouldn’t be surprising if you, like me, couldn’t remember the last time a Lions defense was this dominant. Detroit’s victory over the Atlanta Falcons, 20-6, was the kind of bounce-back performance that defines their new leader, Dan Campbell, and his ability to embrace the situation and...

Week 3 former Lions roundup: D’Andre Swift continuing electric year with Eagles
Photo by Julio Aguilar/ Checking in on former Detroit Lions players in Week 3, where D’Andre Swift continues to find success in Philly. Former Detroit Lions running back D’Andre Swift is having a career resurgence in Philadelphia. As many pointed out when the Lions traded Swift to the Eagles, the former second-round pick was landing in an ideal situation. Not only was he going back to his hometown, but he was joining a team with the best offensive line in the league and wouldn’t have to be the workhorse back. On Monday night, Swift continued to prove he was an...
