Pat O'Connor, a 7th-round pick by Detroit Lions in 2017 out of Eastern Michigan, said he wants to finish his career with the team that drafted him.

ALLEN PARK -- Alex Anzalone made his return to Detroit Lions practice on Saturday. But the linebacker said that is due to his progression through a hamstring injury and nothing to do with his ongoing contract wishes.

The Detroit Lions need help along the defensive line and there just so happens to be a high-profile defender available who could help them out.

The Detroit Lions had a magical 2024 season, going 15-2, winning the NFC North, and securing the first-round bye in the postseason before crashing and burning in the Divisional Round against the Washington Commanders.

Lions coach Dan Campbell had to stop practice for the second time in four days after players got into multiple minor shoving matches.

The Detroit Lions announced the placement of several players on injury lists to start training camp, including defensive lineman Levi Onwuzurike, who will now miss the first four games of the season.

Lions coach Dan Campbell wants his players, on both sides of the ball, to take on more ownership. That effort on defense starts with Jack Campbell.

The edge rusher's goal of returning better than ever from the injury that ended his 2024 season appears on track.
