Campbell got pushed back an hour, and instead of working ahead, I did this:

On that trick play the Lions ran early in the game, Isaac TeSlaa was supposed to be the target. He feigned a block in the second level, but the deep safety never bit, leading to the check down/throwaway to Gibbs.

0173 17

Justin Rogers | DFN @detroitfootball.net · 28/09/2026

Snap counts from the Jets game. Note: Gill-Howard played 33 defensive snaps, but showed up on the sheet weirdly because of his one offensive snap.

Justin Rogers | DFN @detroitfootball.net · 13/09/2026

No doubt well known to Saints fans, watching Juwan Johnson's unique pre-game routine is pretty awesome.

Justin Rogers | DFN @detroitfootball.net · 09/09/2026

An estimated practice report, the first of the season for the Lions. Estimated because the team practiced Tuesday, but not Wednesday.

Justin Rogers | DFN @detroitfootball.net · 03/09/2026

No new signings or waiver claims for the Lions, so they continue to sit at 51 players. Small and McLaughlin went unclaimed and are free agents. Also, a bunch of new uniform numbers. See the attached image.

New subscribers have the ability to attach a message. I read them all. Not sure what this one means, but it made me laugh.

Justin Rogers | DFN @detroitfootball.net · 05/08/2026

The Lions have named Richard Haddad, former Pistons COO, as the team's new president.

I published a feature I've been picking away at for weeks, detailing the path and process of Brian Hudspeth, the head of Detroit's college scouting department. You're going to need your full lunch break for this one. www.detroitfootball.net/p/digging-fo...

Lions Collective isn't going to be live this week. Instead we're pre-recording, with a special guest, general manager Brad Holmes. That conversation is taking place shortly and we'll be uploading the full conversation later this afternoon.

In my Lions-focused free agency preview of the QB market, here's what I wrote about the possibility of reconnecting with Teddy Bridgewater. And here's the quick story on the agreement to return for a third stint with the Lions : www.detroitfootball.net/p/lions-turn...

On the eve of Monday's NFL's free agency negotiation window, I've drawn the important assignment of judging chili. Thirty of them, to be exact. If you're in the area, stop by, have a beer, complain about Detroit's offseason to date.

No blue wave for this one. This is behind the Lions bench, where visiting fans usually are most densely congregated.

Four years ago, I had a chance to sit down with Dave Fipp and talk about his relationship with his father, a Navy pilot, and how it shaped him as a man and a coach. On his return to Philadelphia and a Salute to Service game, it's worth sharing again: www.detroitnews.com/story/sports...

I did ask Campbell on Friday if he felt he needed to get more involved with the offense, whether game planning or play-calling. Here was his response:

The Lions Collective is back at it tonight, and we're going to try something new, broadcasting from Dog and Pony Show Brewery.

One of the more predictable fines, Tyrus Wheat was docked for tripping Baker Mayfield. Also, fined, far more steeply (46k), TB running back Rachaad White, for lowering his helmet into Lions safety Erick Hallett during a violent collision in the opening quarter.
