Dan Campbell’s candid update leaves Kerby Joseph’s future in question

Detroit Lions coach Dan Campbell said Kerby Joseph and Brian Branch will remain on the Physically Unable to Perform list as Joseph’s knee injury drags on for over a year; Branch is closer to a return. Campbell stressed he won’t play Joseph until he’s fully ready, and his blunt exchange with a radio host — “I wish I could make you feel good… I guess, nothing” — has fans wondering if Joseph will ever return and what that means for his $16.6 million option bonus due in 2027.

Lions announce Week 1 inactives: five players sidelined vs. Saints

Lions bolster O-line depth with Elijah Klein on practice squad

The Detroit Lions signed offensive lineman Elijah Klein to their practice squad. Klein, a 2024 sixth-round pick by the Buccaneers, has appeared in 26 NFL games with one start and has experience at left guard, right guard, center, and right tackle. His preseason grades varied by position, and Detroit will determine where he best fits among its interior depth and the thinner tackle group as they finalize the practice squad.

Lions start 2026 roster cuts with veteran LB and young TE

The Detroit Lions began their 2026 roster cuts by releasing veteran linebacker Troy Reeder and waiving tight end Zach Horton. Reeder, a seven-year veteran with substantial special-teams experience, lost out for a final 53-man spot after Damone Clark’s injury left depth options in play; because he’s a veteran, he’s not subject to waivers. Horton’s status followed an earlier camp waiver, and he could return on waivers or via the practice squad if he clears. More cuts and depth-chart decisions will unfold as the process continues.

Lions’ 2026 Rivalries Jersey Leaks Ahead of Official Unveil

Detroit Lions’ 2026 Rivalries jersey was leaked ahead of the official reveal, with Fox News/Outkick posting images sourced from Fanatics. The Lions later confirmed the drop at 10 a.m. ET via promotional video that paired the almost-all-white jersey with carbon-fiber-like Honolulu Blue numbers, featuring a “DETROIT” stamp above the player number, and shown with gray pants and an alternate blue helmet. Described by the team as a futuristic nod to Detroit’s automotive heritage and the defensive-mentality branding, the design is a departure from recent looks. The uniform will be worn in Week 8 vs. the Vikings (Nov. 1), while Minnesota will wear a Rivalries variant when hosting the Lions in Week 15 (SNF). Fans can view a gallery and a dedicated uniforms site and are invited to vote on the look.
