NEW: Yesterday, I spoke with #Lions DB Terrion Arnold about the unseen burden he carried behind his smile — the pressure, expectations, and growth that come with being a young player in the NFL.

“I’d say not just grow in football, but in life.”
Behind the smile: The burden this Lions DB carried until a spiritual breakthrough
Lions' Terrion Arnold credits his baptism and newfound faith for helping him handle NFL pressures and criticism after early season struggles.

Talked with a few #Lions players about that deleted NFL Films video on Brian Branch. One line stuck with me — “It was weird energy from the league… from the same league that’s supposed to protect your players.”

Interesting move by the NFL: they sent a memo reminding teams that players should punch the ball out, not the player — but used footage of Jack Campbell instead of 49ers defender Alfred Collins from Week 5 against the Rams.
The NFL sent a warning about this Lions defender’s ‘violent’ playing style
Jack Campbell's aggressive ball-punching technique has forced two fumbles this season but now has the league office sending memos to teams.

#Lions Scottie Montgomery on Jameson Williams not getting the ball: "If he's not unselfish, he's fooling the hell out of me. This was his best, cleanest, most physical in the run game. On the sideline, every single play, he was so excited for everyone."

#Lions Dan Campbell said that ESPN's report of them reaching out to the NFL league office regarding cut blocks on Aidan Hutchinson is not true: "That's a bogus report. That's bull."

Jared Goff has only one game this season where he’s completed less than 70% of his passes, and three games where he’s completed at least 79%. Do you understand how hard that is?

#Lions are still getting tests on pass rusher Marcus Davenport. They won't have an update until the end of the week, per Dan Campbell.

#Lions Brad Holmes on drafting players with an injury history: "It's all case by case. It depends on what the injury is. That doesn't deter us. We traded up to get Jameson Williams off an ACL (injury)."
August 28, 2025 at 12:41 PM
Lions GM on the Hendon Hooker and Brodric Martin selections: "All you can do is put all the work in and feel good when you take the player. I feel there's risk involved with every single player. Unfortunately they did not meet expectations in a timely manner."
August 28, 2025 at 12:38 PM
Holmes identified Terrion Arnold, Jameson Williams, Giovanni Manu and Ennis Rakestraw Jr. -- before his injury -- as players who all made jumps in this year's training camp.

#Lions GM Brad Holmes: "It's hard to ask players to give you their best and when they do, you have to tell them they didn't make it."

Hooker was putting together a strong drive but Ethan Robinson just ended the game with one HELL of a interception. Wow.

Luq Barcoo saw that thing breaking down the entire time. He was all over that from the snap.

Brad Holmes was just gushing about Nate Lynn an hour ago as one of his dark horses to make the roster essentially. There he is with a big play just now.
August 16, 2025 at 7:29 PM
Jackson Meeks has been my dark horse candidate to make the Lions carry six wide receivers. Another week, another touchdown from Kyle Allen. This kid just has an underdog mentality about it.
August 16, 2025 at 6:10 PM
After missing TeSlaa on that last throw, Allen got outside the pocket and hit him on the run for a first down, but it's coming back due to an illegal forward pass penalty. Rough start for the #Lions offense.
August 16, 2025 at 5:26 PM
That's another Craig Reynold runs coming back due to a holding call. That's two so far for this offense.
