  • Lions' Jack Campbell: Six tackles in loss

    Campbell recorded six total tackles (four solo) in Sunday's 20-16 loss to Tampa Bay.

    Campbell saw his usage increase in Week 2, playing 35 of the team's 48 defensive snaps after playing only 58 percent of the snaps in Week 1. As a result, he finished tied for the team lead in takedowns with safety Brian Branch. The linebacker has now compiled 13 total tackles (six solo) over the team's first two games of the 2024 season.

  • Lions' Tim Patrick: Heads back to practice squad

    Patrick reverted to the Lions' practice squad Monday, per the NFL's transaction log.

    Sunday's loss to the Buccaneers marked Patrick's first game action since Jan. 8, 2022. Since then, he endured back-to-back season-ending injuries that wiped away the 2022 and 2023 campaigns entirely. Patrick played a modest 39 percent snap share and turned it into two catches (on three targets) for 12 yards, a workload that he may be able to sustain in the short term with WRs Amon-Ra St. Brown (lower leg) and Isaiah Williams (abdomen) tending to injuries at the moment.

  • Lions' Amon-Ra St. Brown: Injury severity downplayed

    Coach Dan Campbell said Monday that St. Brown (lower leg) "will be good" and has a soft-tissue injury, Richard Silva of The Detroit News reports.

    St. Brown was forced out of Sunday's 20-16 loss to the Buccaneers with roughly 30 seconds remaining in the fourth quarter and missed the Lions' final five plays, but it looks like the team expects him to be available Week 3 against the Cardinals. After a quiet Week 1, St. Brown bounced back with 11 catches for 119 yards on 19 targets versus Tampa Bay. More information on his status will arrive Wednesday, at the latest, when Detroit's first official injury report of the week is released.

  • Lions' Jake Bates: Makes three field goals in loss

    Bates went 3-for-3 on field-goal tries and converted his only extra-point attempt in Sunday's 20-16 loss to the Buccaneers.

    Bates was perfect again in Week 2, making a pair of field-goal attempts in the first half from 22 yards and 35 yards, respectively. He later added a 32-yard field-goal make and a PAT in the third quarter. Through two games in 2024, Bates has gone 5-for-5 on field-goal attempts and 3-for-3 on extra-point tries.

  • Lions' Amon-Ra St. Brown: Dealing with contusion, cramping

    St. Brown exited with about 30 seconds remaining in the fourth quarter of Sunday's 20-16 loss to the Buccaneers due to a leg contusion and cramping, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

    St. Brown missed the Lions' final five plays of the contest due to a possible lower-body issue, but the wideout seems to have escaped Week 2 action without any serious harm. That said, St. Brown's status nonetheless merits monitoring ahead of this coming Sunday's game against the Cardinals. After being limited to three catches for 13 yards in the Lions' Week 1 overtime win over the Rams, Brown bounced back in Sunday's contest with 11 receptions for 119 yards on 19 targets.

  • Lions' Brian Branch: Snags interception in loss

    Branch recorded six total tackles (five solo), an interception and two passes defensed in Sunday's 20-16 loss to Tampa Bay.

    Branch was once again very active in Week 2, finishing tied with Jack Campbell for the team lead in tackles. The 22-year-old was also able to secure his first interception of the 2024 campaign, picking off Baker Mayfield right before halftime. Through two contests, Branch has compiled 13 total tackles (10 solo), an interception and five passes defensed.

  • Lions' Aidan Hutchinson: Historic performance in Week 2

    Hutchinson recorded five total tackles (four solo), including 4.5 sacks, in Sunday's 20-16 loss to the Buccaneers.

    Hutchinson got out of the gates with a bang, securing a strip sack of Baker Mayfield on Tampa Bay's first possession of the contest. He later added another 2.0 sacks on the Buccaneers' next two drives. The defensive lineman then notched 1.5 sacks in the second half, finishing off a historic day. Hutchinson's 4.5 sacks are the second most in a game in franchise history, only behind Bill Gay who compiled 5.5 sacks in 1983, also against Tampa Bay. Through two games in 2024, Hutchinson has registered 10 total tackles (seven solo), including 5.5 sacks, and forced a fumble.

  • Lions' Tim Patrick: Reels in pair of receptions

    Patrick caught two of three targets for 12 yards in Sunday's 20-16 loss to the Buccaneers.

    Patrick was elevated to the active roster prior to Sunday's matchup, most notably reeling in a 10-yard catch in the second quarter. The Lions are thin at wide receiver behind Amon-Ra St. Brown and Jameson Williams, and it's possible that Patrick could emerge as a reliable option for the team. The wide receiver was let go by the Broncos in late August, and he's looking to carve out a consistent role for himself with Detroit.

  • Lions' Kalif Raymond: Three catches in Week 2

    Raymond caught three of his four targets for 27 yards in Sunday's 20-16 loss to the Buccaneers.

    Raymond was more involved in the offense in Week 2 after garnering zero targets in the regular-season opener. The wide receiver saw the majority of his production come on an 18-yard reception in the fourth quarter as he remained No. 3 on the depth chart behind Amon-Ra St. Brown and Jameson Williams, who combined to see 30 targets. Raymond was once again Detroit's punt returner in the loss, compiling 32 yards on three returns.

  • Lions' Amon-Ra St. Brown: Possible lower-body injury

    St. Brown, who briefly left Sunday's loss to the Buccaneers, appears to be dealing with a lower-body issue, Kyle Meinke of mlive.com reports.

    Per Meinke, St. Brown was seen limping out of the locker room after Sunday's contest, but for now the wideout's unspecified injury isn't believed to be serious. With that in mind, coach Dan Campbell said, "He's all right. I don't think it's anything long-term, so that's good news." In any case, this report makes St. Brown's status worth monitoring ahead of next weekend's game against the Cardinals.

  • Lions' Sam LaPorta: Posts Week 2 dud

    LaPorta caught two of three targets for 13 yards in Sunday's 20-16 loss to the Buccaneers.

    LaPorta was targeted on only three of Jared Goff's 55 passes, as the second-year tight end has played a secondary role early in 2024 after an outstanding rookie regular season in which LaPorta compiled 889 receiving yards and 10 touchdowns. The emergence of wide receiver Jameson Williams has cut into LaPorta's opportunities, as Williams has 20 targets compared to eight for LaPorta heading into a Week 3 road game in Arizona.

  • Lions' David Montgomery: Short-yardage success continues

    Montgomery rushed 11 times for 35 yards and a touchdown while catching all four of his targets for 35 yards in Sunday's 20-16 loss to the Buccaneers.

    Montgomery scored his second one-yard touchdown in as many games in the third quarter, but he was otherwise outplayed by Jahmyr Gibbs, who turned 20 touches into 106 scrimmage yards. While Gibbs gets occasional goal-line opportunities, Montgomery gets most of his value from his short-yardage proficiency, as the former Bears running back has 15 rushing touchdowns in 16 regular-season games since joining the Lions. Montgomery will try to extend his season-opening touchdown streak in Week 3 against Arizona.

  • Lions' Jameson Williams: Has 20 targets through two games

    Williams (ankle) caught five of 11 targets for 79 yards in Sunday's 20-16 loss to the Buccaneers.

    Williams picked up where he left off after racking up 121 receiving yards and a touchdown last week, catching a 50-yard pass on Detroit's second drive to set up a field goal. After posting no more than seven targets in any game across his first two seasons, Williams has opened 2024 with nine targets in Week 1 and 11 in Week 2, though he was overshadowed by Amon-Ra St. Brown's 19 targets in the loss to Tampa Bay. Williams will continue stretching the field for Detroit with his elite speed in Week 3 against the Cardinals.

  • Lions' Jared Goff: Meager 5.6 YPA in Week 2 loss

    Goff completed 34 of 55 passes for 307 yards, no touchdowns and two interceptions in Sunday's 20-16 loss to the Buccaneers. He also rushed twice for five yards.

    Goff's first pass of the game was picked off, but he bounced back with a 50-yard completion to Jameson Williams on his next pass to set up a field goal and cut Tampa Bay's early lead in half. None of Goff's subsequent 53 passes went for more than 20 yards, as he compiled his way over the 300-yard mark but finished with just 5.6 yards per attempt after throwing for only 217 yards on 7.8 YPA in Week 1. Goff will look to put the slow start behind him in a Week 3 road game against the Cardinals.

  • Lions' Jahmyr Gibbs: Gets 20 touches in Week 2 loss

    Gibbs rushed 13 times for 84 yards and caught all seven of his targets for 22 yards in Sunday's 20-16 loss to the Buccaneers.

    Gibbs kept Detroit's hopes alive with a 23-yard run to convert on 4th-and-1 with 1:23 remaining, but he was tackled short of the line to gain on a fourth-down catch 30 seconds later. Gibbs out-gained David Montgomery by 49 yards on the ground and also got seven of the 12 targets among Lions running backs (four for Montgomery, one for Sione Vaki), but Montgomery got the opportunity to punch in a one-yard rushing touchdown in the third quarter and capitalized on it. Despite being Detroit's 1B option by the goal line, Gibbs should remain heavily involved Week 3 against the Cardinals thanks to his versatility and explosiveness.

  • Lions' Amon-Ra St. Brown: Bounces back with 19 Week 2 targets

    St. Brown had 11 catches for 119 yards on 19 targets in Sunday's 20-16 loss to the Buccaneers.

    The Lions made a concerted effort to get St. Brown involved after his disappointing Week 1 performance, as the star receiver racked up 11 first-half targets, which he turned into six catches for 58 yards. St. Brown posted similar second-half production and finished with eight more targets than second-place receiver Jameson Williams. There are plenty of mouths to feed in a Detroit offense that also features running backs Jahmyr Gibbs and David Montgomery, as well as tight end Sam LaPorta, but St. Brown should maintain a prominent role after tying for second in the NFL with 119 catches and finishing third with 1,515 receiving yards during the 2023 regular season. The Lions will try to bounce back against the Cardinals in Week 3.
