On @SideLionReport: Dan Campbell is sounding more upbeat than ever about the prospect of Kerby Joseph's return, and the safety's latest social media post is adding to that optimism. #OnePride sidelionreport.com/dan-campb…

Dan Campbell is sounding more confident Kerby Joseph will return this season

Kerby Joseph's latest workout video adds weight behind Campbell's optimistic words.

Reminder: the #Lions didn't extend Hutchinson until Oct. 29 last season (their Bye). Taking a wait and see approach with LaPorta and Branch as they return from their own injuries should not be a surprise, and my guess is something will ultimately get done. #OnePride

On @SideLionReport: Cade Mays is back and set to start on Sunday vs the #Packers, but whether or not he can remain the starter could come down to his run-blocking. #OnePride sidelionreport.com/cade-mays…

Cade Mays' run-blocking could be what makes or breaks Lions' tough center decision

Cade Mays is back and whether or not he takes over the starting center job rests on how much he's improved at run-blocking.

Last time Alex Moore officiated a game involving the #Lions was the divisional playoff game vs the Bucs... FWIW, in 2026, all away teams have won in the games Moore's crew has officiated.

On @SideLionReport: The NFC North continues to play well in non-divisional games, as the #Lions lose ground in the standings without playing a game. #OnePride #SideLion sidelionreport.com/lions-are…

Lions are bye week losers as the NFC North just keeps on winning

Can the rest of the NFC North stop winning, please?

I wouldn't be against seeing Cade Mays get the first drive or two on Sunday, if he's indeed ready. Risky, yes, but the offense and OL get off to slow starts, anyway. He may provide that spark. #OnePride

Barring anything negative, #Lions coach Dan Campbell expects C Cade Mays and S Brian Branch to make their season debuts against the #Packers in Week 7. Just a matter of how much they play. For Mays, Juice Scruggs's positive play factors into that equation.

On @SideLionReport: The #Lions new-look O-line has been way better than most expected in 2026. #OnePride sidelionreport.com/the-early…

The early returns for the new look Lions O-line is better than we could've imagined

It took just one offseason for Brad Holmes to bring the Lions O-line back to being Pro Football Focus' top-ranked.

The greatest baseball moment of my lifetime as a #Tigers fan. I've probably watched this highlight more any other Detroit sports moment. #DNMW

@MLBOct 14
The 2003 Tigers lost 119 games, a then-American League record that had stood since 1916. Just three years later, Detroit finished with 95 wins and ended a 19-year Postseason drought The remarkable turnaround reached its climax OTD 20 years ago, when Magglio Ordóñez crushed a walk-off 3-run homer to send the @Tigers to the World Series
