The Daily DLP from the Detroit Lions Podcast dives deep into the team's initial 14-man practice squad signings on Monday. Before getting into the players who constitute the Lions practice squad, host Jeff Risdon reviewed some of the more intriguing, surprising moves to get to the 53-man roster. Wide receiver Greg Dortch getting cut and now moving onto the Buffalo Bills remains a head-scratcher from a football standpoint. The Lions don't have anyone else who can do what Dortch offered as a receiver and a return man. Tyler Conklin not making the team also gets covered, with the knowledge that Jackson Meeks offers a different element than the veteran. It's a pragmatic choice by the Lions, and also rewards Meeks for his outstanding special teams contributions all summer. Those special teams are where RB Jabari Small likely made the team as well. The practice squad has 14 players who were cut by Detroit on Sunday. Two spots remain open. One of them might be for UDFA LB Erick Hunter. While Hunter isn't on the list, it does not necessarily mean that the Lions haven't tried to get him back. Hunter might be weighing other opportunities with different teams that offer a more immediate path to playing time than what he has in Detroit. Two 2025 draftees, Dominic Lovett and Dan Jackson, are also not on the list. It's a disappointing lack of progress for the two Georgia Bulldogs, taken late in the ‘25 draft. While frustrating, missing on late Day 3 picks is not cause for alarm or shame for GM Brad Holmes. #detroitlions #lions #detroitlionspodcast #gregdortch #jabarismall #sionevaki #jacobsaylors #jacksonmeeks #tylerconklin #brockwright #nickwhiteside #masonmiller #sethmclaughlin Learn more about your ad choices.

The Detroit Lions will use the Washington Commanders preseason home game to sort interior offensive line depth, clarify wide receiver three, and test nickel rotations while select starters play, as Dan Campbell stated. The order of substitutions will tell the story. Coaches want second-game data points on risers and rebound candidates. Which starters will play and why does it matter? Some Detroit Lions starters will play, not all, and the substitution order will reveal priority roles more than the score. As Jeff Risdon noted on the Detroit Lions Podcast, if quarterback Jared Goff sits there is no point in exposing wide receiver Amon-Ra St. Brown or offensive tackle Penei Sewell, while tight end Sam LaPorta needs only a brief series because his back issue can recur. Running back Jahmyr Gibbs is part of that protect-your-core logic. Expect the focus to be on who plays with whom and when, not how long the first group stays out there. What are the key Detroit Lions offensive line battles? Interior depth is unsettled and this game will shape the center and guard pecking order. Guard Ben Bartch, center Seth McLaughlin, and guard Tate Ratledge are central to the mix, and the staff will test combinations and timing to see who sticks. Offensive lineman Miller Frazier must rebound after penalties and uneven snaps while bouncing from right guard to left tackle in Cincinnati. Offensive tackle Blake Miller needs to shore up his inside shoulder in pass protection, and offensive tackle Larry Borom should post a clean slate to solidify the swing role. The sequence of reps across center and guard will be the clearest depth-chart signal. Who owns WR3 and the last wide receiver spots? Greg Dortch has outperformed Isaac TeSlaa this summer, making Washington a swing game for wide receiver three. A sure-handed, physical outing from Lions wide receiver Isaac TeSlaa can calm concerns, but more drops or tips would strengthen Lions wide receiver Greg Dortch for WR3. Tay Martin is the front-runner for WR5. Depth pressure comes from Lions wide receivers Lucky Jackson, Cedrick Wilson, Malik Cunningham, Tom Kennedy, and Dominic Lovett. The staff can keep only so many, so special teams value and mistake-free play will separate the final few. What should we watch on defense and special teams? Nickel snaps remain open, with Lions defensive back Thomas Harper factoring as a nickel-safety hybrid and situational usage in play. With starters scheduled to see the field, Jeff Risdon expects a brief look at Lions defensive tackle Alim McNeill before the rotation turns to depth pieces. Practice has shown Lions defensive tackles McKade Wingo and Skipper Gill-Howard repping ahead of Lions defensive tackle Levi Onwuzurike, and the second preseason game can validate that order. Undrafted pushes continue with Lions edge rusher Eric O'Neill and Lions linebacker Erick Hunter stacking good tape. On offense, Lions running back Sione Vaki is a special teams lock, but this is a chance to validate the runner piece against live tackling alongside Lions running backs Jacob Saylors and Jabari Small. Bottom line, performances matter far more than the score, and no injuries is the priority. #detroitlions #lions #detroitlionspodcast #lionspreseason #washingtoncommanders #kelvinsheppard #erico'neilljaredgoff #samlaporta #amon-rast.brown #benbartch Learn more about your ad choices.

Detroit Lions Early Camp Report Training camp has moved from anticipation to evaluation, and the Detroit Lions are beginning to reveal which offseason assumptions can survive contact. With padded practices underway and the Hall of Fame Game signaling the return of NFL football, depth charts are shifting, injuries are creating opportunities, and competitions are becoming more serious. On this episode of the Detroit Lions Podcast, Chris and Jeff Risdon bring Allen Park to Lions fans with a close look at the camp battles unfolding now, roster moves created by injuries, early surprises, fan access, and the growing conversation around Jahmyr Gibbs. Camp Battles Are Beginning to Produce Answers The competition at outside cornerback remains one of the most important stories in camp. Rock Ya-Sin and Ennis Rakestraw Jr. are receiving meaningful opportunities opposite D.J. Reed, with Rakestraw also working inside. Detroit needs more than a nominal replacement for Terrion Arnold. It needs a dependable secondary rotation that can withstand a full season. The offensive line is also taking shape. First-round pick Blake Miller has received first-team work at right tackle and has looked composed during difficult assignments. Christian Mahogany and Juice Scruggs remain part of the discussion at left guard, while Cade Mays continues the demanding transition into the starting center role. Greg Dortch has quickly become one of the most useful additions in camp. His familiarity with offensive coordinator Drew Petzing has helped him play fast, and his value at receiver and returner gives Detroit another answer in the competition to replace Kalif Raymond. Jameson Williams has also carried a strong offseason into camp, creating separation at multiple levels and strengthening his connection with Jared Goff. Jahmyr Gibbs Hold-In Changes the Backfield Picture The Jahmyr Gibbs hold-in is now one of the defining stories of Detroit Lions training camp. Gibbs has reported and remained around the team, but he has not participated in practice while his contractual future is unresolved. He is already under team control through the exercised fifth-year option, but his production and importance to the offense make a long-term extension a major organizational decision. His absence matters beyond the negotiating table. Isiah Pacheco has received more prominent work, while Jacob Saylors and Jabari Small have gained opportunities. Sione Vaki's facial and eye injuries further thinned the group and contributed to Detroit adding Raheem Blackshear. The result is a backfield competition that looks very different without its most explosive player taking snaps. The central question is how long the hold-in lasts, what it means for Gibbs' future in Detroit, and whether the missed practice time affects the installation of Drew Petzing's offense. Injuries, Surprises, and the Early Confidence Check The Lions are already adjusting to injuries throughout the roster. Jimmy Rolder, Derrick Moore, Anthony Firkser, Malcolm Rodriguez, and Vaki have all generated concern or forced changes in practice plans. Those absences have created openings for players such as Tyler Lacy and Jabari Small to earn legitimate consideration. Fan access at the Meijer Performance Center continues to give supporters a close view of those developments. Free, ticketed practices and post-practice interaction have helped make Allen Park part of the team's identity. So how confident should Lions fans feel? The top of the roster remains strong, but the depth is being tested earlier than expected. Join Chris and Jeff for the Detroit Lions Early Camp Report as they separate meaningful progress from August noise and examine the Gibbs hold-in, camp battles, injuries, surprises, and the state of the team. #DetroitLions, #Lions, #DetroitLionsPodcast, #OnePride, #JahmyrGibbs, #GibbsHoldIn, #DetroitLionsTrainingCamp, #TrainingCamp, #CampBattles, #LionsInjuries, #LionsRoster, #JaredGoff, #JamesonWilliams, #DanCampbell, #NFLNews #detroitlions #lions #detroitlionspodcast #detroitlionstrainingcamp #detroitlionsnews #jahmyrgibbs #jahmyrgibbshold-in #jahmyrgibbscontract #nfltrainingcamp #trainingcampbattles #lionsinjuries #lionsrosterconcerns #dancampbell #jaredgoff #jamesonwilliams #blakemiller Learn more about your ad choices.

The Detroit Lions defense owned Day 2 of training camp. The offense intentionally worked short-game installs, which muted explosive plays, and Dan Campbell placed Detroit Lions offensive tackle Giovanni Manu on NFI with a previously undisclosed summer injury that will sideline him for a period of time. Why did the defense win Day 2? The defense executed, communicated and finished. Detroit Lions linebacker Derek Barnes baited and intercepted quarterback Jared Goff by bluffing a blitz then dropping into the passing lane. Detroit Lions edge rusher DJ Wonnum repeatedly disrupted plays, including blowing up a run and compressing the pocket even through contact. Detroit Lions defensive back Nick Whiteside stacked another strong day with a sharp pass breakup, which is how camp risers separate. As Jeff Risdon noted, the environment was quiet without fans, which made communication from leaders pop. Detroit Lions safety Chuck Clark directed traffic pre-snap and handled single-high responsibilities when Detroit worked base nickel. The overall theme was keep the ball in front, rally and end drives. How did the quarterbacks look in the short-game install? Detroit Lions quarterback Jared Goff was efficient within the plan, hitting timing throws and moving the ball underneath. Detroit Lions quarterback Teddy Bridgewater had an underwhelming day overall, including a hospital ball, but he also ripped a veteran hole shot to Detroit Lions wide receiver Greg Dortch between zone layers. Detroit Lions quarterback Luke Altmyer looked like a clean operator for the quick game, a baseline fit to run the Goff-style offense at a rudimentary level. The team period emphasized dink-and-dunk by design, not a lack of ambition. As Jeff Risdon emphasized, context matters in camp, because the offense was installing specific concepts rather than chasing chunk gains. What did Dan Campbell say about Giovanni Manu and early-camp sloppiness? Dan Campbell said Giovanni Manu is on NFI after disclosing a prior summer injury post-practice, and he will be out for a period of time. Campbell even floated twelve or fourteen weeks as placeholders, then stressed he did not know the exact timeline. Risdon read Campbell's tone as notably negative, and he added that you would struggle to find anyone in the media room who expects to see Manu in a Detroit uniform again. Campbell's on-field priorities remained clear, run the ball, stop the run and master situational football at the end of halves and games. With new voices, offensive coordinator Drew Petzing, passing game coordinator Mike Kafka and tight ends coach Steve Hatten, early misalignments happened, including a re-huddle on the second team-play, which is acceptable on Day 2 without pads. Who flashed and what were the standout moments? Detroit Lions wide receiver Cedric Wilson delivered the play of the day, a one-handed snag over Detroit Lions cornerback Khalil Dorsey with perfect timing and toe-tap control. Wonnum's surge included beating Detroit Lions offensive lineman Larry Borom when Borom checked in as an extra tackle, and walking back Detroit Lions offensive tackle Devin Cochran on a rush rep. Detroit Lions right tackle Blake Miller had a mixed day against top competition, which is part of the growth curve. On special teams, Dortch took the first return rep and looked decisive, while Detroit Lions wide receiver Amon-Ra St. Brown and Detroit Lions wide receiver Isaac TeSlaa also rotated in. Detroit Lions defensive end Peyton Turner did not practice with a minor back issue. Barnes stood out in drills and at the podium, a composed, articulate presence after practice. #detroitlions #lions #detroitlionspodcast #jaredgoff #teddybridgewater #lukealtmyer #giovannimanu #djwonnum #derekbarnes #khalildorsey #cedricwilson #gregdortch #chuckclark #peytonturner #amon-rast.brown #blakemiller #larryborom #mikekafka Learn more about your ad choices.

Tom Kennedy and Jacob Saylors are the returning Detroit Lions kick returners right now, with Khalil Dorsey and Greg Dortch pushing hard to take the job. Special teams coordinator Dave Fipp values ball security and net field position, and Kennedy checks those boxes. So does Saylors, but not with a lot of dynamic ablity. With today's kickoff rules, reliability beats boom-or-bust. Who leads the Detroit Lions kick return battle? Tom Kennedy leads because he is the clean, assignment-sound option, and Khalil Dorsey and Greg Dortch are the most credible challengers for explosive plays. Detroit Lions wide receiver Tom Kennedy has been a reliable return man, catching the ball, following blocks, and protecting possession. Cornerback Khalil Dorsey brings top-end speed and prior team return experience. Wide receiver Greg Dortch arrived from Arizona with recent volume and will get real chances. As Jeff Risdon noted on the Detroit Lions Podcast Daily DLP, Fipp will reward the returner who elevates average starting field position without sacrificing ball security. How good were the Lions on kick returns last season? They finished a notch below league average in both return average and resulting field position. The primary kick returner logged 33 returns for 897 yards, an average of 27.2, compared to the NFL average of 28.8. Detroit's average post-kickoff field position was the 30.2 yard line, short of the 30.8 league average. Detroit Lions wide receiver Tom Kennedy produced 447 yards on 16 returns, a 27.9 average. Another returner finished at 26.8 on six returns. The Lions punt return fixture led the NFL with 32 punt return attempts but managed only 7.5 yards per return, which underscored the need for more juice and cleaner execution. That is not good enough for a unit Fipp expects to win the hidden yardage battle. Which names should fans watch in camp reps? Greg Dortch and Khalil Dorsey headline the challengers, while Dominic Lovett and Sione Vaki project better in supporting roles. Detroit Lions wide receiver Greg Dortch has 39 kick returns at 26.3 yards per return since 2024, including 31 for a 26.2 average last year. Jeff Risdon noted Arizona's special teams were not strong, which affected his numbers, but Dortch still brings proven reps. Detroit Lions cornerback Khalil Dorsey posted four kick returns for 159 yards in 2024, including a 72 yarder, the longest Lions kickoff return in eight years. Detroit Lions slot receiver Dominic Lovett had one kick return for 22, and he had not returned kicks in college beyond a single punt at Missouri, so he is not a natural option. Detroit Lions running back Sione Vaki logged two returns for 39, with one going for 29, but he excels more as a lead blocker on returns. Keeping Vaki as a blocker boosts whichever returner wins the role. Roster-wise, last year's primary kick returner is competing with Sione Vaki, Jabari Small, and Kai Robichaux for the RB4 role, and as Jeff Risdon speculated, if he is not the return man, he probably is not on the 53. How do today's kickoff rules shape the decision? Touchdowns are rare, so field position and ball security drive the choice. That reality favors Kennedy's profile while leaving room for Dortch or Dorsey to claim the job if they upgrade average start without inviting risk. #detroitlions #lions #detroitlionspodcast #jacobsaylors #lionstrainingcamp #tomkennedy #khalildorsey #gregdortch #sionevaki #dominiclovett #davefipp #jackfox #grantstewart #craigreynolds #jabarismall #kairobichaux #jeffrisdon #michaelgrey #detroitlionskickreturner #nflkickoffrules Learn more about your ad choices.

Slot-Only Profile in a Crowded Detroit Lions Room The Detroit Lions Podcast zeroed in on Dominic Lovett, No. 19, and his roster odds as training camp nears. The NFL squeezes slot receivers who lack a clear special teams role, and Lovett sits right in that pinch point. He is listed at 5-10, 185 and profiles as a slot-only receiver. At Georgia, his routes rarely stretched beyond 8 to 10 yards. The usage leaned horizontal. Quick slants. Hitches. Get it out, make the first tackler miss. He has speed, but the vertical element was not a staple of his tape. The top of the Detroit Lions depth chart leaves little room. Amon-Ra St. Brown, Jameson Williams, and Isaac TeSlaa define the top three. The club added Greg Dortch, who is smaller than Lovett and brings elite yards-after-catch production. Dortch owned minicamp. He was open, quickly and often. That is not how Lovett's spring looked. Special Teams Will Decide It Lovett's path is special teams. As a rookie, he logged snaps in most games but was a regular on those units only from Weeks 4 to 8, which included the bye. He logged no return action. In camp, he was not near the top of the returner reps. He did not record a special teams tackle. He is not noted for blocking. The evaluation lands near baseline, which means no real positive spikes. The drops remain an issue. In minicamp, Lovett put two easy throws on the ground. One came when he tried to run before the catch. Another was a low ball he did not dig out. That tracked with college scouting reports on his hands. Meanwhile, Tom Kennedy offers physical play, nuanced routes, and trust from Jared Goff. Kennedy blocks, arrives on time in his spots, and catches what is thrown. If the decision is Lovett or Kennedy for the same role, Kennedy holds the edge. Where He Sits Entering Camp Realistically, Lovett is battling for wide receiver five or wide receiver six if the Lions keep six. The competition includes Kennedy, Tarek Black, Malik Cunningham, and a wave of former UFL guys. Jackson Meeks is trending more toward an undersized tight end role than a true wideout. Dortch is locked as WR4. On the current board, Lovett trails Cunningham and Kennedy and likely at least one of the UFL additions, such as Black. The episode framed a clear outcome set. If Lovett pops on special teams as a returner, blocker, or in gunning duties, he can change the conversation in Detroit. If not, he projects outside the 53 and likely clears waivers. In a crowded NFL receiver room, every rep will matter. For Lovett, the Detroit Lions Podcast made it plain: special teams is not a bonus. It is the job interview. #detroitlions #lions #detroitlionspodcast #dominiclovett #gregdortch #amon-rast.brown #jamesonwilliams #isaacteslaa #tomkennedy #tarekblack #malikcunningham #ennisrakestraw #giovannimanu #davefipp #jaredgoff #slotonlyreceiver #widereceiversix #specialteams Learn more about your ad choices.

The Detroit Lions Podcast hits minicamp week with Jeff Risdon on site Tuesday and Wednesday. Expect post-practice recaps later each day and a possible live show Wednesday if time and bandwidth cooperate. The focus is clear: identify real roles before the summer break, then reset for training camp in late July. O-line puzzle and the return game Juice Scruggs headlines the interior line watch. Left guard sits as the only unsettled starting spot, and Christian Mahogany is the early favorite. Scruggs will still be in the mix. He has NFL snaps, power in short spaces, and the mobility to reach. Hand placement has been inconsistent. The question this week is how he looks under Hank Fraley and where he ranks in the rotation. Ben Bartch remains a name to track as he works back from a Lisfranc injury. Greg Dortch steps into the wide receiver and special teams conversation. He profiles as WR4 and the first man up to handle punt and kick returns. He creates yards after the catch. He turns a quick swing into a chain-mover. Jeff wants to see his vision and acceleration up close, plus how he plays through contact and extends to win throws outside his frame. Dortch might be bigger in person than the listing suggests, another note to verify this week. Bubble battles: Meeks, Hassanein, and Turner Number 13 is no longer Craig Reynolds. It is Jackson Meeks, an undrafted wideout possibly sliding toward tight end duties. The staff will test whether he is a supersized receiver or a true hybrid. There is a depth need for that body type behind Isaac TeSlaa, and Kendrick Law is out for the year. Meeks draws fan buzz, but he still must prove it after practice-squad time last season. Ahmed Hassanin shares that spotlight. Both Meeks and Hassanein have supporters, yet their NFL evidence is limited to flashes. Meeks might have the cleaner path today. Hassanin's chances could hinge on Peyton Turner. If Turner is healthy and close to his first-round traits, he grabs a job. Marcus Davenport, despite his own injuries last season, mentored young players. Turner could fill that presence too, even if health becomes an issue. Mekhi Wingo's best position Mekhi Wingo needs a defined role. He is compact for the interior. The staff will test him as a heavy end or as an undersized three-tech. The goal is to find a lane that maximizes leverage and burst. With a crowded room, any clarity on his spot and place in the pecking order matters. LSU ties run deep on this staff, and the desire to unlock Wingo is real. Programming notes and NFL headlines Daily recap shows land later in the day during minicamp. A live Detroit Lions Podcast on Wednesday remains possible. Jeff also addressed two NFL items. Aldon Smith's passing at 36 is a sobering reminder that players carry real lives and real struggles. On the salary-cap front, void years are surging. Myles Garrett's deal includes eight void years. The Lions use void years often. Patrick Mahomes added four. It front-loads flexibility and pushes charges forward. Helpful now, potentially costly later. #detroitlions #lions #detroitlionspodcast #detroitlionsminicamp #juicescruggs #christianmahogany #gregdortch #puntreturner #yardsaftercatch #jacksonmeeks #ahmedhassanein #peytonturner #marcusdavenport #mekhiwingo #voidyears Learn more about your ad choices.

Two Old Bloggers: NFC North Free Agency "Dogfight," Vikings Depth Concerns, and Remembering Siemon & Browner — Darren and Dave discuss the largely quiet NFC North free-agency period, arguing no team clearly improved: Chicago traded DJ Moore to Buffalo and added Devin Bush and Cobe Bryant but lost key turnover-producing defenders and center Drew Dalman; Green Bay mostly sat out, losing major contributors and adding Zaire Franklin and Skyy Moore plus former Viking Javon Hargrave; Detroit made modest, low-risk moves like Isaiah Pacheco, Cade Mays, Greg Dortch, Roger McCreary, and D.J.

They say the Vikings' biggest move was signing Kyler Murray cheaply, making the division a 2026 “dogfight.” They then highlight Minnesota's thin depth at several positions and the need to hit on 2026 draft picks, note a bid to host the 2028 NFL Draft, discuss possible preseason streaming rights, and pay tribute to deceased Vikings Jeff Siemon and Joey Browner. 00:00 Show Cold Open 01:19 Welcome and Banter 03:06 NFC North Dog Fight 04:13 Bears Free Agency 09:49 Packers Offseason Losses 15:34 Lions Sensible Signings 22:09 Vikings Division Outlook 25:03 Draft and Thin Depth 37:42 Draft Coverage Plans 38:44 Vikings News Week 41:47 Stadium Funding Debate 43:41 Draft Bid Economic Case 46:41 Who Owns The Stadium 51:13 Fans Want The Draft 52:37 Vikings Free Agency Grades 55:15 Kyler Murray Fit Questions 59:37 Jonathan Greenard Trade Rumors 01:05:18 NFL Streaming Preseason Talk 01:13:56 Tribute Jeff Siemon 01:18:15 Tribute Joey Browner 01:23:21 Final Sign Off Fan With Us!

Decker's endgame in Detroit: where the blame sits On today's Detroit Lions Podcast, Jeff Risdon drilled into the Taylor Decker situation and why it unraveled. After sleeping on it, he called a recently retired player he trusts. The player walked through how this works in the NFL. Agents handle the hard talks. Pay cuts. Buyouts. Even filing retirement paperwork. That is the standard flow. Decker didn't follow that path. By his own account, he contacted the Lions himself. He spoke with Dan and tried to reach Brad while Brad was at the combine. The host's takeaway was clear. Either Decker's agent dropped the ball by not running point or Decker chose to supersede his agent. If the agent failed to warn him that staying on the same contract was unrealistic given his health, that is negligence. If Decker ignored that advice, that is on him. Could the Lions have called sooner? Probably. After Decker's Instagram post hit minutes before Brad took the stage in Indianapolis, a same-day call would have helped. But Decker asked for his release. He wanted out. The Lions owe him nothing at that point. Based on how a subsequent interview was framed, a reunion does not sound imminent. The timeline around Indy The combine setting mattered. Decker's post landed about twenty minutes before Brad's media time in Indianapolis. That complicated immediate outreach. Communication should have been tighter early, but the core breakdown appears to be on the player-agent side. The version of Decker from last season did not match the money he expected this year. That reality hurts. It also explains why talks stalled and why responsibility shifts toward Decker and his representation. Roster notes: Tyler Conklin and the Dortch-for-Raymond swap A radio hit earlier in the week surfaced two notable items. First, the group walked through players the Detroit Lions have added, including Tyler Conklin. One guest who coached him at Central Michigan admitted he didn't realize the signing had happened and was pleasantly surprised. Second, Greg Dortch came up as a near one-for-one replacement for Raymond. The host emphasized that Lions fans may not fully grasp how directly Dortch can mirror Raymond's role. He did some quick, bare-bones research to compare them and saw the logic in the move. The fit looks clean for how Detroit structures its receiver usage. A Thanksgiving rule memory That radio spot also detoured into a 2012 Thanksgiving memory. Former NFL kicker Shane Graham recalled being on the Texans side of the infamous Jim Schwartz rule moment, when a challenge on an unchallengeable play drew a penalty. He also noted he kicked a field goal in that game. The story framed how thin game margins can be, and why process matters, whether on challenges or contract talks. #detroitlions #lions #detroitlionspodcast #taylordecker #agentnegotiations #paycuttalk #buyoutdiscussion #retirementpaperwork #bradatthecombine #danconversation #instagrampostinindianapolis #releaserequest #communicationtimeline #shanegraham #texansthanksgiving2012 #jimschwartzrule #tylerconklinsigning #gregdortchforraymond Learn more about your ad choices.

The Detroit Lions kept stacking useful pieces. On this Detroit Lions Podcast, Jeff Risdon, Chris, and Michael Grey broke down three new additions, all on one-year deals. Edge DJ Wonnum, wide receiver Greg Dortch, and linebacker Raymond Clark arrived as targeted fits. Another signing could be coming soon. New arrivals and a one-year plan The front office is leaning into short-term, role-specific help. Each deal is a fill-in. The message is clear. Add competitive depth without blocking long-term answers. The hosts also noted movement on another potential addition, with word that another Jones could be in play. The expectation is more action today. Edge plan: DJ Wonnum and the Paschal template Wonnum checks the Lions' NFL edge profile. Physical style. Power to speed. Edge setter. He plays the run on the way to the quarterback better than he rushes the passer. That should sound familiar. Think the role carved out for Josh Paschal. Early in his career, this type has handled c gap and b gap snaps and bumped outside as needed. The vision is obvious. Wonnum can work five tech, set sturdy edges, and finish when opportunities come. He has starting experience and some sack production. He fits as a part-time player, likely edge three or edge four, depending on how the rest of the room shakes out. The depth chart mentions tied to this move matter too. Makai Wingo's best spot is still in question. Ahmed Hassanein's development is a variable. Levi Anserrique Reed has played outside and can handle five tech. The piece today is about defined jobs. Wonnum gives them one. Slot and return game: Greg Dortch's fit with Petzing Dortch brings juice to the slot and special teams. He is five-foot-seven-ish, around a buck eighty, and a proven return specialist from the Arizona Cardinals. He worked with Drew Petzing and spoke at length about that trust in his introductory Zoom. He talked about love of football again and again, and his energy jumped off the screen. Dortch has bounced around, was advised at one point to consider the CFL, then the Cardinals gave him a shot. He ran with it. He is very sure handed, with a high catch rate over recent years. In Detroit, he profiles as a quick separator and secure outlet who can flip field position in the return game. Linebacker depth and what comes next Raymond Clark adds competition at linebacker. Another one-year, role-focused piece. Special teams and sub-package snaps are in play. The Lions are not done. The hosts repeated that. Expect another signing, with indications that talks on another Jones are moving. This roster building approach matches the recent surge of part-time, short-term additions. It fits the moment. Add the right tools. Keep flexibility. Let camp sort the rest. #detroitlions #lions #detroitlionspodcast #djwonnum #gregdortch #damoneclark #nflfreeagency Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Sometimes, winning in your fantasy football playoffs is about owning a piece of the right offenses at the right time. That'll be one of the driving forces of our tape review the rest of the season: sharpening our focus on offenses (like the Patriots on Monday night!) that appear to be wagons, or at least wagon-adjacent. Do the Jaguars belong in that category? How about the Cardinals' potential waiver guys? We'll discuss what we saw on film for the rest of the Week 13 games, and then spin it forward and talk about the adds you need to make in advance of Week 14! Guest: John Daigle of Establish The Run.
