www.mlive.com/lions/2026/0... NEW: Since 8 a.m., former Eastern Michigan DB Freddie McGee III has stood outside the Detroit Lions practice facility, hoping to catch the attention of the coaching staff and front office entering the building. Why? To finally get his shot in the NFL.

Thanks to ESPN's Matt Miller for joining @korywoods.bsky.social and myself on this week's Dungeon of Doom podcast to talk all things Detroit Lions less than two weeks out from the draft (!) www.youtube.com/watch?v=aB4u...

The Lions must address edge rusher and interior D-line depth as familiar faces could be heading out.

Lions fans seeing Maxx Crosby head to Baltimore instead of Chicago.

www.mlive.com/lions/2026/0... When making my 2.0 mock draft, I took the WWBD approach: What would Brad (Holmes) do? And that's how I landed on the Detroit Lions trading out of No. 17, adding a pick and landing a disruptive pass rusher in Miami's Akheem Mesidor.

www.mlive.com/lions/2026/0... NEW: Tight end is an underrated need for the #Lions this offseason. The options to add a TE3 aren't gonna blow anyone away and trust me, that's ok!

www.mlive.com/lions/2026/0... ICYMI: The #Lions are arguably loaded at the top three wide receiver spots. I go through some cost-efficient options that make sense in my WR preview.

#Lions RB David Montgomery has since debunked the ESPN report by Jeremy Fowler. My earlier article has since been updated to reflect Montgomery's response.

www.mlive.com/lions/2026/0... NEW: Is David Montgomery done in Detroit? A recent report states the veteran RB wants to move on from the #Lions organization.

Opposing quarterbacks posted a 45.9% completion rate and a 39.4 passer rating when throwing in the direction of Oregon's Jadon Canady. Primarily a slot defender, Canady has experience playing both inside and outside, something he discussed with the #Lions this week.

Alabama’s Deontae Lawson shared he’s spoken with #Lions LB coach Shaun Dion Hamilton. He shared the two have went over film. Also said he’s kept in touch with his Bama guys in Detroit such as Jahmyr Gibbs, Terrion Arnold and Brian Branch.

www.mlive.com/lions/2026/0... NEW: “Drew doesn’t need my advice." #Bears coach Ben Johnson spoke on the #Lions hiring Drew Petzing as offensive coordinator along with thought of how his friend will handle his new role in Detroit.

NEW: With the NFL combine set for next week, me and Ben have dropped our first set of mock drafts. Mine went live this morning and at pick No. 17, I have the #Lions snagging one of the best pass rushers in the draft. MOCK DRAFT IN COMMENTS.

We’ll be back with the Dungeon of Doom podcast this week. Would love some BlueSky (exclusive) mailbag questions if you got them for the Detroit Lions, myself and @korywoods.bsky.social. Drop them here or send written questions or recorded voice memos to [email protected].

Let's say the #Lions hired Mike McDaniel as OC. I can only imagine what the reaction would be if Lions fans woke up and read that McDaniel was still interviewing for head coach jobs in this current cycle. Imagine losing an OC (again) right after landing him.

From yesterday ICYMI: www.mlive.com/lions/2026/0...

The Dungeon of Doom podcast discusses why the initially puzzling offensive coordinator selection comes with clear stylistic fits for an offense that needs to reclaim its identity.

🚨 NEW EPISODE 🚨 The latest episode of MLive’s Dungeon of Doom is live. Raw reactions me and @ben-raven.bsky.social on the #Lions hiring Drew Petzing as OC, what it means going forward, and whether Detroit rushed the process. 🎧

NEW: A potentially dangerous wide receiver trio is taking shape in Detroit — and Dan Campbell, John Morton, Jared Goff and others explain why Amon-Ra St. Brown, Jameson Williams and Isaac Teslaa are just getting started. www.mlive.com/lions/2026/0...

Hopping on at 8:30 tonight! www.youtube.com/live/uv-pgp1...

A few days ago, Aidan Hutchinson said it’s easy to be gritty when you’re winning. Today, I referenced that quote while asking #Lions HC Dan Campbell what he and his players can learn from the spot they’re in now. #Lions #NFL

So the report & statement from the HOF was premature. Just talked to Mel Farr Jr., he said he talked to Lem Barney III, who talked to Lem's nurse, who said Lem is alive. "He's fine. I don't know where that report came from." He said he got a picture sent of Lem w/his nurse today.

He definitely did make this joke

#Lions Sam LaPorta (back) had a procedure on his back and Dan Campbell said that he would not only be down awhile, but they would be "very fortunate" to have him back this season. Significant blow for the Lions.

www.mlive.com/lions/2025/1... NEW: #Lions coach Dan Campbell won't buy into the mindset of needing to increase the sense of urgency. He's instructing his team to focus on one opponent at a time.

#Lions Dan Campbell said he is "hopeful" that D.J. Reed will return this week. Today is a walk through. Campbell said he will know more about Reed after they go full speed Thursday and Friday.

#Lions Dan Campbell said he feels good about Brian Branch (toe) for this week vs. Giants. The practice report for today was essentially an estimation. Will know more about Terrion Arnold (concussion) after practice.

Dan Campbell was the ultimate course correction from the Matt Patricia era. J.B. Bickerstaff proved to be the same kind of correction from the Monty Williams year of doom last season, and this year is only reinforcing it.

NEW: Dominic Lovett, Mekhi Wingo and Miles Frazier strengthened their bond once they became Lions teammates — but Wingo’s ties to both run much deeper. And all three share another connection: their brotherhood in Omega Psi Phi Fraternity, Inc. Today is 114th Founders' Day of ΩΨΦ.

www.mlive.com/lions/2025/1... 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.”

From @korywoods.bsky.social ‘Pretty weak move’: NFL Films draws Lions’ ire over deleted Brian Branch video www.mlive.com/lions/2025/1...

www.mlive.com/lions/2025/1... 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.”

www.mlive.com/lions/2025/1... 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.

Last call for questions for today's mailbag podcast. Let me know what you got.

#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?

NEW: After finishing intense practices under coach Dan Campbell, #Lions players carry their competitive energy into the locker room, battling one another in a different way while continuing to build their bond and brotherhood. www.mlive.com/lions/2025/1...

#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.

And a postgame Dungeon of Doom podcast with @korywoods.bsky.social from Green Bay: www.youtube.com/watch?v=pRaf...

#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)."

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."

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.
