The Detroit Lions are aware veteran linebacker Alex Anzalone is seeking a new contract extension.

Campbell expects to have both Arnold (calf) and Barnes (finger) for Friday's padded practice. The pair exited early on Thursday.

But maybe one of the most important defenders for the Lions in 2025 will be MIKE linebacker Jack Campbell. The third-year linebacker out of Iowa has really taken ownership of Kelvin Sheppard's defense, and he and Alex Anzalone are kind of the glue in the middle that connects the front four to the back end and makes it work seamlessly.

Tate Ratledge, the Detroit Lions' second-round pick in April, played right guard in practice Thursday for the first time in training camp.

The wrestling world is still reeling from the loss of Terry Gene Bollea, better known as Hulk Hogan, who died from cardiac arrest at his Clearwater, Florida, home.

The Detroit Lions have become one of the NFL's most popular teams since Dan Campbell arrived in Motown, but fell short of their ultimate goal of winning the Super Bowl last season. The Lions have a chance to redeem themselves this upcoming 2025 season with key players returning across the board on both sides of the ball and special teams.

Lions head coach Dan Campbell has not forgotten about former quarterback Teddy Bridgewater, who spent parts of two seasons in Detroit, from 2023-2024.

Since Dan Campbell was hired as the Detroit Lions coach in 2021, the team has improved each of those four seasons and the culture has changed drastically. However, the Lions have yet to reach their ultimate goal of winning a Super Bowl and running back David Montgomery is intent on achieving greatness in 2025.
