Strickland making it is surprising
They need somebody. I don't care what anyone thinks about the playoff loss, this team is going to miss Josh Reynolds a lot.Tim Patrick signed with their PS.
Might wind up being helpful before it's all over.
When Reynolds came aboard mid season and St. Brown became acclimated the Lions passing game was no longer abysmal.They need somebody. I don't care what anyone thinks about the playoff loss, this team is going to miss Josh Reynolds a lot.Tim Patrick signed with their PS.

Glad to get Ukwu back. Allan Robinson is pretty much trash at this point, but smart to let a few veterans fight it out on the practice squad and see who emerges.
Yes they still have a premier TE1 in Laporta and Gibbs out of the backfield. Whoever emerges from the WR group will probably be option #5 in the passing game.Lions might have a crappy WR3 this year, and it might not matter one bit
If I'm not mistaken these 4 were on the active 53 last year and now they are not. That's a good thing when it comes to depth, right?Practice Squad signings
Detroit Lions 2024 practice squad members (16 players max)
- RB Jermar Jefferson
- WR Donovan Peoples-Jones
- TE Shane Zylstra
- TE James Mitchell

DPJ officially added to the practice squad, CJ Moore released off the unit and John Cominsky moved to IR.
Lions have one open spot on both the main roster and their practice squad, temporarily.
Sorry, but when I first read this I thought he said they dated back in high school.Holmes says he was always a fan of Jake Fromm, even dating back to his winning ways in high school.

Looking good for week one, highest game total of the week at 51. Team total is right around 27, hope that translates into points for you.10 team superflex: Jahmyr is my RB2 (Taylor), Monty is my RB3 & Goff is my QB2 (Love).
Good point. We know Stafford isn't the most mobile QB they will face this year. AH & company will need to pressure him and take him off his game.The big question mark for this weeks game is what will the Rams OL look like. They will be missing at least their left tackle Alaric Jackson who is facing a two game suspension. Their other tackle has been doubtful about playing week one, the injury report will provide more insight.. The Rams are swapping their OL around and putting Jonah Jackson under center. It could be a great opportunity for our DL to have a big day. I am sure the Rams will adjust, but it is not ideal for them.
Peko, probably. Any veteran who is active for game 1 has their salary guaranteed, so I'd be surprised if DPJ was activated.As far as the 53rd man, I would think it has to be a WR who is brought up since we only have 4, but if Reader and/or Iffy are out then a DT or S could be a consideration. Or they could move up Fromm as the emergency QB.
I don't know if they even know which WR is ready to step up. DPJ has not stepped up yet, Kennedy is reliable but has limited abilities, and Allen Robinson and Tim Patrick have proven veteran credentials but probably are not well versed in the offense and have not worked with Goff.
Just getting ready for the regular season.Dan Campbell said Ifeatu Melifonwu is his only injury concern for the week. That means Gibbs, LaPorta, Branch, Davis, etc., should be good to go vs. Rams.
Said earlier today he told his team it's time to stop talking about the Super Bowl and focus on each day.
Also mentioned @Da Guru needs to be a little more timely with his thread title updates. “We need to see more from him. Look man, he’s a veteran, he knows what to do, but we could all use a gentle nudge once in awhile, ya know? But he’ll be alright, once the season starts, man, it’s just set it and forget it with him. He’s one I’m NOT worried about. So…”
Been going through the schedule and it is not easy.
I thought 12-5 with some breaks but might be 11-6. And we can play the dam Cowboys at home.
