After going almost wire-to-wire in the NFC North the past two seasons, the Detroit Lions find themselves in a rare spot heading into Sunday's home opener at Ford Field – second place in the division, chasing the 2-0 Green Bay Packers.

The Detroit Lions have released Detroit native and former Wayne State linebacker Anthony Pittman from the practice squad, the team announced on Tuesday. Pittman, 28, was in his second stint with the Lions this season after he was initially signed by the organization in 2019 after he went undrafted.

The Detroit Lions are back home and Greektown businesses are counting on loyal fans to navigate construction barriers for Sunday's season opener against the Chicago Bears.

The Detroit Lions apparently are going to need some time to adapt to the departure of offensive coordinator Ben Johnson.

Lions rookie wide receiver Isaac TeSlaa has delivered on many fronts, but his rookie duties came with a stumble.

The Bark River-Harris cheerleading team recently got a $7,000 grant from the Detroit Lions Foundation. But team members said what they’ll remember most isn’t the money — it was getting to be up close at Ford Field in Detroit for the Lions’ final preseason game Aug.

Detroit Lions backup offensive lineman Giovanni Manu says he is prepared to step in if he gets the start on Sunday against the Chicago Bears. "I'm totally ready," Manu told the media on Friday. Manu will step in for Taylor Decker if the longtime Lions left tackle isn't healthy enough to play.

Most analysts predict a Lions victory, citing their roster talent and home-field advantage at Ford Field. The Chicago Bears will face the Detroit Lions in an NFC North showdown on Sunday, where Ben Johnson will square off against his former team for the first time. And both teams are desperate for a Week 2 win.
