Lions put starters Desmond Trufant, Danny Shelton on IR as interim coach makes debut
Trufant injured his hamstring on Thanksgiving against Houston — the third time he’s hurt a hamstring this season and the second time he has landed on injured reserve. Shelton suffered a knee injury in the loss to the Texans as well. Both signed with Detroit this offseason, and considering the potential for a complete regime […]
Continue readingBiggest Week 12 injury questions for all 32 NFL teams: Uncertainty surrounds Nick Foles, 49ers running backs
There could be more changes coming at the NFL’s most important position. Quarterback Nick Foles missed Wednesday’s practice because of a hip injury, and Mitchell Trubisky — who just returned himself from a shoulder injury — took all the reps.

Continue readingNFL hot seat ratings: Coaches and players who could get fired or benched in 2020, including Adam Gase, Kirk Cousins
The NFL can be a fickle league. Nobody roots for coaches to get fired or players to be benched, but those consequences are a fact of the football universe.

Detroit Lions star wide receiver, Kenny Golladay, who missed a second straight game because of a hamstring injury, is expected to return for next weekend’s matchup with the Arizona Cardinals, a league source tells ESPN.

In return, the Lions receive a conditional 2022 seventh-round pick in the NFL draft, a source told ESPN’s Mike Reiss. Jackson played in one game for Detroit last season, a 19-16 loss at Washington, where he played two special teams snaps. Detroit had claimed him off waivers in September 2019, after he was cut by […]
Continue readingLions remove Matthew Stafford from reserve/COVID-19 list, cite false positive
Stafford appeared Saturday on the reserve/COVID-19 list, which means a player either has taken a test that has come back positive or has been in close contact with someone who has been diagnosed with the coronavirus. The Lions, in a statement released Tuesday, said Stafford never had COVID-19 and instead had a false positive test […]
Continue readingLions place QB Matthew Stafford on reserve/COVID-19 list
Detroit Lions quarterback Matthew Stafford on Saturday became the eighth member of the team to be placed on the reserve/COVID-19 list. Stafford was put on the list after results came back from the team’s third round of testing on Friday. Players are put on the list either if they’ve tested positive for COVID-19 or have […]
Continue readingJamal Adams trade grades for Seahawks and Jets: Can a safety really be worth this much?
For the fourth time in three years, an NFL team hoping to make a leap to the next level has traded away two first-round picks to acquire a young superstar. In some ways, the Seahawks’ unexpected decision to trade three picks and Bradley McDougald to the Jets for All-Pro safety Jamal Adams is the riskiest […]
