Alim McNeill's practice clock is officiallly starting today.

Super Bowl-bound the last time the Lions saw them, these Bengals are toothless with their leader sidelined by turf toe. It's time for my weekly catch-up with what's been going on with the upcoming opponent: www.detroitfootball.net/p/early-on-s...

A comprehensive review of Detroit's defensive dominance after allowing an opening-drive touchdown to Cleveland. I go drive-by-drive, looking at the key plays for each stop, before offering some bigger-picture thoughts from the film study: www.detroitfootball.net/p/detroit-li...

The Lions scored 34 and coasted to a win, but it was just the fifth time in three seasons the Lions have been held under 300 yards, and the sixth time under 5.0 yards per play. I explored the inefficiency of the performance in this week's film breakdown: www.detroitfootball.net/p/detroit-li...

With the news the Lions are considering starting Alim McNeill's practice clock this week, here's my story from last week about how aggressively and from different angles he's approached his rehab to get to this point, sooner than most probably expected. www.detroitfootball.net/p/alim-mcnei...

On Monday, Dan Campbell offers injury updates on DJ Reed, Terrion Arnold, Alim McNeill and Miles Frazier. It was a mixed bag, but more good news than bad: www.detroitfootball.net/p/lions-reed...

Dan Campbell said DJ Reed will be down for a while, but IR stint not yet determined. Alim McNeill's practice clock may start this week.

Lions scored regardless, but if Delpit doesn't trip Gibbs, that's probably a 35-yard TD for the back. Really nice blocking by the front.

Lions PFF grades vs. the Browns (minimum 10 snaps) Top offense: Sewell, St. Brown, Glasgow Bottom offense: Montgomery, Decker, Mahogany Top defense: Hutchinson, Campbell, Muhammad Bottom defense: Robertson, Arnold, Tyleik Williams

Today's Three and Out column explores the impact of a DJ Reed injury, the burial of Murphy's Law applying to the Lions and recognition for a special teams collective capable of altering outcomes: www.detroitfootball.net/p/three-and-...

Here are the offensive and defensive snap counts from the Lions' 34-10 win over the Browns.

So much out of the locker room today: Talked to Amik about dropped pick and possibly filling in for Reed, TeSlaa on details, Meeks on his debut, Decker on Garrett, Glasgow on Morton's comments, St. Brown detailing Montgomery's help with run blocking and more: www.detroitfootball.net/p/locker-roo...

Based on some quick research earlier in the week, this would be the only time the Lions have not allowed a sack in three consecutive games during a single season.

Lions cruise, getting key contributions from all three phases in a 34-10 thumping of the Browns. But eyes will be on cornerbacks DJ Reed and Terrion Arnold after both starters exited with injury: www.detroitfootball.net/p/detroit-li...

DJ Reed pulled up, clutching his hamstring. Didn't look good.

Arnold just came out of the tent and was taken to the locker room.

It's a shoulder injury for Terrion Arnold. He's questionable to return.

With Arnold out, the Browns are testing Amik Robertson. He gave up a big catch on the first. He should have picked the second.

Terrion Arnold was down for a few minutes after that play. Not sure what the trainers are working on, but he looks to be holding his right arm coming off the field.

Too late to get in on the rapture meme?

Kerby Joseph is back on the field.

Tough for Branch. Second turnover he's negated with a penalty this season.

The Browns racked up 88 yards on their opening-possession touchdown drive. They've had 45 yards the next five series before taking a knee to end the half.

Hutchinson down, Reed runs over and quickly gives the sideline a thumbs up. Might have just had the wind knocked out of him.

Kerby Joseph is questionable to return with a knee injury.

Joseph is being helped by multiple trainers to walk off the field and went straight to the locker room.

Assuming it stands, and I think it will, that's a crazy impressive interception by DJ Reed. On the downside, Kerby Joseph is exiting with an injury after getting tangled up trying to block on the return.

24-yard run for Gibbs is the longest run the Browns have allowed this season, by more than double. The previous was an 11-yard gain.

Hutchinson took a nasty shot at the end of the drive. Chipped by the TE to start, handing off to the RT. While engaged and pushing into the pocket, the edge took a massive (legal) block to his hip from the right guard, who had a few steps of momentum into the hit.

Hutchinson is making plays, first with the sack and second with a drop into the passing lane on the rollout, forcing a throwaway.

Still not sure what happened on the interception. Felt more like a miscommunication than a hanging, pressure-induced throwaway, even with the pocket collapsing. Arnold jammed the hell out of Tillman on the outside, potentially altering the WR's route plans.

More great perimeter blocking for LaPorta and St. Brown on that TD run. Both are off to a very strong start this season as blockers. Such a value add for two of the most important receiving options in your offense.

Terrion Arnold is still getting the start for those who have been using the word "benched" this week.

First Browns jersey I see downtown is a Shedeur Sanders.

And here's your weekly game-day guide to catch you up on everything you need to know about Lions/Browns: Where to watch, broadcast and officiating crews, injury report, betting line and three storylines to monitor for the contest: www.detroitfootball.net/p/detroit-li...

With Tate Ratledge improving so quickly, I caught up with the rookie on his primary adjustments since his dud debut and the importance of Graham Glasgow through the acclimation process. www.detroitfootball.net/p/with-relen...

Wanted to share a few items again, including a lengthy batch of "Thoughts to End the Week," which led with Terrion Arnold's situation and touched on the growing legend of Jack Campbell and praise for LaPorta's growth beyond pass catching: www.detroitfootball.net/p/7-thoughts...

Another fine for Brian Branch. This time, $11,598, for the low block where he also drew a 15-yard penalty.

I caught up with Tate Ratledge this week about his rapid improvement after a disappointing debut, the biggest adjustment from college, and how valuable Graham Glasgow has been to his early development: www.detroitfootball.net/p/with-relen...

Beating the buzzer as the weekend approaches with 7 thoughts and 2,500 words to end the week, hitting on Terrion Arnold's play, Campbell's tone-setting toughness, LaPorta's blocking and Jim Schwartz killing it in Cleveland: www.detroitfootball.net/p/7-thoughts...

Lions have ruled out Zach Cunningham, Sione Vaki and Daniel Thomas for Sunday's game against the Browns.

A lot of good nuggets from Detroit's three coordinators today. Here's a full recap: www.detroitfootball.net/p/coordinato...

No Decker, Vaki or Daniel Thomas at practice today. Muhammad is out here.

No Decker, Vaki or Daniel Thomas at practice today. Muhammad is out here.

Al-Quadin Muhammad said he expects to play Sunday after popping up on today's estimated injury report.

Some transactions: www.detroitfootball.net/p/detroit-li...

Estimated injury report after today's walkthrough. We don't talk to Campbell again until Friday.

Didn't have the time to do a full offensive film review coming off a road primetime game, but still found a few minutes to do a frame-by-frame breakdown of Montgomery's 72-yard run. It's all 11 success story, but damn, Kalif Raymond and Sam LaPorta. www.detroitfootball.net/p/when-all-1...

Because open locker room interferes with our normal airing time, the Lions Collective pod has pushed to tomorrow. Sorry for the inconvenience. Post primetime schedules can be a little weird.
