Jake Rudck beat out a veteran quarterback for the No. 2 job last season. And it looks like he's going to have to do it again.

Don't discount the possibility of an offensive lineman.

The Detroit Lions schedule was dropped Thursday night. Here are some quick takeaways from the slate.

Detroit signed LeGarrette Blount, and even the typically-tight lipped Bob Quinn says that could affect the club's approach to the position in next week's draft.

We have to wait until 8 p.m. tonight to learn the full Detroit Lions schedule, but that hasn't stopped the leaks either.

Lions guard T.J. Lang underwent hip surgery last offseason, and things never really got better from there.

The New York Post is reporting the Lions will kick off the season by hosting the Jets on Monday Night Football. The full schedule is due to be released at 8 p.m. tonight.

Adairius Barnes shocked the world by making the Detroit Lions roster in 2016. Two years later, the experiment is over.

There might not be a more valuable commodity in Detroit these days than versatility. Matt Patricia preaches it, and the club's most notable offseason moves have reflected it.

Almost any way you measure it, the longtime Lions quarterback was among the best in the game at his position. But he was not perfect.

The Detroit Lions announced on Tuesday that Ansah has signed his franchise tag, which is valued at $17.143 million. That matches Dallas' DeMarcus Lawrence, who will also play under the tag, for the top-paid players at the position.

Whoever Cleveland drafts first overall next week -- and it almost certainly will be a quarterback -- will be entering into a difficult situation. Matthew Stafford knows that as well as anybody.

The season is barely a wink old. But already, the excitement is building inside the walls of Allen Park for new coach Matt Patricia.

Nobody has spent more first-round picks on tight ends in the last nine years than the Detroit Lions. Could they really do it again?

Ezekiel Ansah was always expected to sign his franchise tag. Now we have a timetable.
