The Daily DLP delves into former Lions center Frank Ragnow speaking about his retirement, as well as his abortive comeback in 2025. At his charity skeet shooting event near Detroit, Ragnow met with the media and candidly broke down his decision to retire from the Lions last summer. Ragnow talked about his body, his mindset and the guilt of not being there. That guilt led him to try and come back around Thanksgiving, but a hamstring tear ended those aspirations. We also get into some comments from Dan Campbell about safety Brian Branch and any contract extension timeline for the Pro Bowl safety. Coach Campbell's words signify a prudent business shift for this Lions regime. #detroitlions #lions #detroitlionspodcast #frankragnow #dancampbell #brianbranch #lionsinjuryupdate #contractextension #lionsotas Learn more about your ad choices.

Final Lions OTAs The final OTA session gave the Detroit Lions a clean snapshot of several live competitions and status updates on some Lions players. One player we're asked about a lot is Giovanni Manu. Dan Campbell confirmed the club is experimenting with Manu at both guard and tackle. The staff needs answers. It is year three, and last season's injury cost Manu valuable reps when Taylor Decker's limited work had opened a window. He is still taking tackle snaps, but guard work is on the table to find his best fit. Miles Frazier stands as direct competition. Frazier arrives more polished technically and with deeper football mileage. On the right edge of the offensive line, Larry Borom took first-team right tackle reps. The Lions drafted Blake Miller in the first round to be the long-term starter, but nothing is being handed out. That is by design. With no pads, trench play is hard to grade, yet stacking reps matters. Borom's NFL experience forces Miller to earn the job and sharpen faster. That is good for the room and for the Detroit Lions. Defensive front: length, rookies, and zero-tech snaps Kelvin Sheppard highlighted a visible shift on the edge. Length. Tall, long bodies across individual periods, blended with shorter power rushers. Undrafted rookie Anthony Lucas drew a mention after wrecking an LSU game in college. Expectations remain high for Derrick Moore, but a former first-round pick is also pushing for those snaps. Nothing is gifted. Tyleik Williams spoke with clarity about the NFL step up. Players are better. Schemes are better. He reshaped his weight and said he will take some zero-technique work. That is a major offseason question with nose tackle duties open after departures. He carried a confident tone and even finished practice wearing a full-length black hoodie in the heat. The Lions will see how it looks when the pads go on. Branch timeline, secondary depth, and DJ Reed's reset Brian Branch was present but not working, and Campbell effectively stretched the public timeline into December. There is no indication he is ahead or behind. It was simply good to see him out there. Meanwhile, Detroit added insulation in the secondary. Ennis Rakestraw added bulk. Roger McCreery arrived as a new nickel option. Thomas Harper is another timely add with ongoing questions about Kirby Joseph. Chuck Clark is in the mix as a physical safety whose game will show more when contact returns. DJ Reed discussed going to Panama for stem cell treatment on a hamstring. Early last season he played well before the injury. On return he struggled, and in OTAs he reportedly got beat again. He is a press corner. Without press in OTAs, that look can be misleading. The flip side is encouraging for the receivers, who are separating downfield. One more snapshot from Allen Park: the offensive line's chemistry. Penei Sewell, Tate Ratledge, Cade Mays, and Christian Mahogany walked out together, laughing. Turkey hunts, group strides, and a tight room. The NFL season is a grind. The Detroit Lions are building for it. #detroitlions #lions #detroitlionspodcast #lionsotas #giovannimanu #milesfrazier #larryborom #blakemiller #derrickmoore #anthonylucas #tyleikwilliams #zerotechnique #brianbranch #ennisrakestraw #rogermccreery #chuckclark #thomasharper #kirbyjoseph #righttacklereps Learn more about your ad choices.

A focused look at QB3 The Detroit Lions Podcast zeroed in on undrafted rookie quarterback Luke Altmyer. The Illinois product brings a steady profile that fits what Detroit asks from its quarterbacks. His case touches roster mechanics, scheme continuity, and how the Lions want to survive a Sunday if Jared Goff misses snaps. The first puzzle is numbers. The Lions have not typically carried three quarterbacks on the 53. Recent practice has leaned on the practice squad and the emergency quarterback elevation. That path likely remains in play. Teddy Bridgewater sits as QB2 for 2026. His last outing in a Lions uniform was rough, but his value is clear. He is smart, efficient, and comfortable in the pocket in the way Goff is. That sets the bar for Altmyer. If QB3 mirrors the starter's operation, the offense changes less when called upon. Altmyer's traits fit the offense Altmyer's game wins with anticipation, accuracy, touch, and a willingness to stand in and deliver. He has extensive experience in a pro-style offense and makes NFL anticipatory throws. He protects the ball and rarely puts it at risk when structure holds. The arm is not dynamic and he is undersized. The release is lower and slower than ideal. He must protect himself better. He absorbed some massive hits at Illinois, a byproduct of patience while routes developed behind an uneven offensive line. Those are teachable survival skills. There is meaningful overlap with Goff's profile. Altmyer processes quickly, shows poise, and works the pocket with calm urgency. He can hit the throws the system demands and maintain accuracy on the move. He posted seven game-winning drives late in games and finished second in program history in wins and touchdown passes. He is a cleaner operator than a playmaker, which is exactly what the Lions ask from their quarterbacks. How he sticks in Detroit Altmyer expected to be drafted and carries a clear chip on his shoulder. Detroit liked the makeup. Dan Campbell praised his retention and daily improvement. The staff highlighted his command of calls, shifts, and motions, and that he is not overwhelmed by install. Altmaier chose Detroit in part to work with Drew Petzing and after a positive Senior Bowl week with Marcus Tuiasosopo. The near-term lane is obvious. QB3 via the practice squad with elevations as needed. Win preseason reps by running the offense cleanly. Protect himself. Keep the ball safe. If he meets those checkpoints, he has a real chance to stick in 2026 and position himself for QB2 in 2027. For a Detroit Lions roster built on clarity and cohesion, Altmaier's profile makes football sense. #detroitlions #lions #detroitlionspodcast #lukealtmyer #teddybridgewater #jaredgoff #qb3 #scoutingreport #lionsotas Learn more about your ad choices.

Detroit Lions OTA Update: What We're Learning in June The offseason calendar may still say June, but the Detroit Lions are already building the foundation for what they hope will be a bounce-back season in 2026. OTA practices are underway, the rookie class is settling in, and the coaching staff is beginning the long process of turning offseason plans into on-field results. On this episode of the Detroit Lions Podcast, Chris and Jeff Risdon take a deep dive into the latest OTA updates, examine some lingering roster questions, and tackle one of the most interesting long-term storylines surrounding the organization. They also find time to enjoy one of the more amusing developments elsewhere in the NFC North. The football may not count yet, but the conversations absolutely do. OTA Observations and Early Position Battles The biggest takeaway from the opening phase of OTAs is that this roster remains remarkably competitive. The Lions continue to benefit from a strong core built by Brad Holmes and Dan Campbell, but there are plenty of jobs still available for younger players looking to establish themselves. The 2026 draft class has already generated attention, with first-round selection Blake Miller beginning the process of integrating into one of the NFL's most respected offensive line rooms. While OTA practices rarely provide definitive answers, they do offer clues about how coaches envision player roles heading into training camp. The coaching staff is also evaluating depth throughout the secondary, linebacker room, and defensive front. Detroit learned difficult lessons about depth during recent seasons, and the organization appears determined to create competition throughout the roster. There are also the inevitable Lions injury concerns that accompany every spring. OTAs are designed to build toward September, not win headlines in June. Managing workloads, monitoring recovery timelines, and ensuring key veterans arrive healthy for training camp remains one of the most important objectives of the offseason. The Kerby Joseph Question Few players have generated more discussion this offseason than Kerby Joseph. The talented safety has become one of the more impactful playmakers in Detroit's defense, but his future remains a topic of conversation among Lions fans. Is he a foundational piece of the franchise's long-term plans? What would a potential extension look like? How does Detroit balance roster building with future salary cap commitments? These are the kinds of questions that become increasingly important as successful teams transition from building a roster to maintaining one. Chris and Jeff will examine where Joseph fits into the broader picture and what his future could mean for the Lions moving forward. Meanwhile, in Chicago... No NFC North discussion would be complete without checking in on the division rivals. The latest developments surrounding the Chicago Bears and their ongoing stadium saga have created plenty of conversation across the Midwest. The possibility of the Bears ultimately leaving Illinois for a new stadium development in Indiana has sparked strong reactions from fans, politicians, and just about everyone else with an opinion on the matter. For Lions fans, it serves as a reminder that not every offseason storyline revolves around football. Sometimes the most entertaining developments happen far away from the field.

Lions update from Dan Campbell See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
Kirby Joseph Timeline Grows Murky The Detroit Lions left Allen Park with a hard truth at safety. Dan Campbell said he does not know when Kirby Joseph will be ready. The staff is strengthening the knee and refusing to rush him. Treatment continues at multiple spots. The real answer will not come until the thick of training camp. That uncertainty hangs over a defense that feeds on takeaways. Joseph has not played in a long time and now sits as a major question mark. In the NFL, losing a ball-hawking back-end anchor changes how everyone fits. Safety Room Competition Heats Up Detroit spent the offseason building insulation for this scenario. Campbell pointed to Chuck Clark and Avonte Maddox as key veterans in the mix. Christian Isian drew praise as a heady, violent player. Branch will take a minute, according to Campbell, but remains central to the back end. Thomas Harper is back. Dan Jackson is coming off injury. Lawrence Strickland is in the room. It is a deeper, more competitive group than a year ago. That matters if Joseph's knee lingers into August. Roles will sort only when the pads go on, but the numbers give Aaron Glenn options the defense lacked last summer. Kendrick Law Out for the Season Rookie wide receiver Kendrick Law tore his ACL in a non-contact injury earlier this week. He will miss his rookie season. It is a tough break for a player trying to win a depth spot. Law was competing with Dominic Lovett and Tom Kennedy on the back end of the receiver room. Kennedy's punt return ability remains a notable edge. The starters are set, and Detroit's expectations should not swing because of this loss. Still, the room loses a different skill set for summer reps, and special teams snaps will shift to others. OTA Snapshot from Allen Park Thursday's open OTAs offered little true football, but the news was significant. The Detroit Lions Podcast focus was clear: health and depth. Campbell emphasized patience with Joseph, repeating that the team has done everything possible without pushing the knee before it is time. Clarity arrives in training camp. Until then, the Lions lean on a reinforced safety group and special teams flexibility at wide receiver. The roster-building approach shows a lesson learned from last year's thin margin at safety. If Joseph returns, the ceiling rises. If not, Detroit's deeper room must carry the back end. #detroitlions #lions #detroitlionspodcast #kerbyjoseph #kendricklaw #dancampbell #allenpark #otas #detroitlionssafetydepth #chuckclark #avontemaddox #christianizien #branch #tyreduplessis #lionsinjuryupdates Learn more about your ad choices.

Myles Garrett is headed to the Los Angeles Rams. Cleveland moved its franchise pass rusher for a 2027 first-round pick, a 2028 second, a 2029 third, and defensive end Jared Verse. The package stretches across three drafts and includes a young edge who already owns hardware. The move echoes the Detroit Lions' Matthew Stafford exit. Different positions. Same rhythm. A star sought a new path, and the team reset its timeline. The Detroit Lions Podcast dug into what changed in Cleveland, why the Rams' offer won, and how this frames Detroit and the NFL. Why Cleveland Moved Its Franchise Star Garrett held a no-trade clause, built to steer his landing spot. He had been on board until recent weeks. Two issues pushed the situation. He was not thrilled with Todd Mangin as head coach. He also was not thrilled with Cleveland seriously considering a return to Deshaun Watson at quarterback. That combination turned the temperature. The Browns had zero intention of moving him at last season's trade deadline. After the draft, during the owners meetings, they began listening. The door opened. Garrett was ready to leave. Cleveland did not need to broadcast it. They simply picked a lane. The Rams' Price: Picks and Jared Verse The compensation is heavy. A 2027 first-round pick. A 2028 second-round pick. A 2029 third-round pick. And Jared Verse. Verse is a productive edge with traits and tape. He logged 4.5 sacks as a rookie. He followed with 7.5 last season. He was the AP Defensive Rookie of the Year in 2024. He is 25 and turns 26 in November. Cleveland valued him. Two NFC East teams made serious offers, but Verse was the key that swung the deal toward Los Angeles. The Browns surrendered an era. They took a player who can anchor the next one and spread the draft capital across three cycles. Detroit Context: Stafford Memories and Current Calculus The parallels to Detroit's Stafford moment are direct. Stafford saw a new regime in Dan Campbell and Brad Holmes, measured the distance back to contention, and chose a quiet, professional exit. He had 12 seasons and played in three playoff games. He pushed for a fresh start without drama. Garrett's path matches that mood. For the Detroit Lions, the Garrett market also offered a price check. In-season speculation last year for a realistic pursuit was steep: two first-round picks, two second-round picks, and a good young starter. A version of that hypothetical even named Jameson Williams. Post-draft, Detroit did not have a pressing need to put a cornerstone like Aidan Hutchinson or a speed piece like Williams into a bid. There is no indication the Lions were involved here. The takeaway is cleaner. A premier edge with a no-trade clause commanded three future picks and Jared Verse. That frames value across the NFL and reaffirms how the Lions measure elite pass rush, roster balance, and timing. #detroitlions #lions #detroitlionspodcast #mylesgarretttrade #losangelesrams #jaredverse #jaredgofftrade #ramstrade #lionsrebuild Learn more about your ad choices.
