There has been increased focus on concussion since a group of former players launched legal action against rugby authorities, claiming they were not sufficiently protected from and informed about potential brain injuries. Barclay said he played in the 2017 autumn internationals, unsure whether he had fully recovered from a concussion suffered six weeks before on club duty for Scarlets. “The …

While conversations remain about whether the Detroit Lions will add to their defensive line room, one thing remains consistent: the team’s faith in Marcus Davenport. This team has been singing Davenport’s praises ever since they signed him to a one-year deal last year. And they’re back at it again now. Take, for example, coach Dan Campbell’s answer to a question …

The Detroit Lions held their third day of 2025 training camp, and while they’re still in the acclimation process, the intensity gradually increased throughout the day’s practice. While that resulted in some really good football on the field, it also led to coach Dan Campbell sending the team a warning, and eventually needing to remove a player from the practice …

A mountain lion bit a four-year-old child on Sunday while the child hiked with family on Hurricane Ridge in Washington state’s Olympic national park, authorities said. The child’s father reportedly saved the minor’s life by pulling the child from the creature’s jaws.

“It’s fun,” Davenport said of these first two days of camp lining up opposite Hutchinson. “I really try to poke at him. He’s way too cool and calm and so I try to poke at him.” Davenport said Hutchinson can sometimes be a calming voice for him. “Shoot, sometimes I over-complicate things, and he just simplifies it like, ‘Hey man, …

We’re only two days into Detroit Lions training camp, so any sort of big, sweeping reactions should be ignored. At this point, the players are still shaking off rust, coaches are starting to get a feel for working together and managing practice, and the pads aren’t even on yet. So as we discuss today’s Question of the Day, keep all …

The Lions drafted quarterback Hendon Hooker in the third round in 2023, but through two NFL seasons Hooker has played only in garbage time, and late last season the Lions brought in veteran Teddy Bridgewater and put him ahead of Hooker on the depth chart to back up Jared Goff. As the Lions open training camp this year, Bridgewater is …

Second-team reps: Hendon Hooker took second-team reps Monday as he and Kyle Allen battle to be Goff’s backup this season. I thought Hooker had a terrific practice Monday. He put a ball right in between two defenders to rookie wide receiver Isaac TeSlaa for a big gain in an early team period and was consistent all day both in team …

We all know at this point that the Detroit Lions have built things the right way. If you remember back in 2021 when Lions coach Dan Campbell and general manager Brad Holmes were first hired, both routinely echoed the same sentiment—they wanted to build a winner that is capable of competing each and every year. And as we know, the …

RECOGNIZE, COMMUNICATE, EXECUTE Those are the three things new offensive coordinator John Morton has made an emphasis as he takes over play calling duties in Detroit as their new offensive coordinator. Morton inherits an offense that scored 70 touchdowns – the fourth most in a single season in NFL history – and led the NFL averaging 33.2 points per game …
