Jon Kitna has been ruled out of today's game, meaning Dan Orlovsky will likely start for the Lions. Kitna didn't practice at all this week, so this comes as no surprise. Drew Stanton will be Orlovsky's backup, and Drew Henson was signed from the practice squad to be the team's ...

Jon Kitna missed practice again on Thursday, and it is looking more and more like he won't start for the Lions on Sunday. It will probably be a game-time decision , but if Kitna doesn't play then Dan Orlovsky would likely step in to replace him, just as he did against the Bears. I ...

Let's face it Lions fans, it's time for
another head coaching change. It is pretty clear that
Rod Marinelli is not a very good head coach and his assistants are even worse. Marinelli doesn't deserve all the blame for this team being 0-4, ...
Jon Kitna had an MRI on Wednesday and is questionable for Sunday's game against the Vikings. He missed practice due to his back injury and may not be healthy enough to play this weekend. Dan Orlovsky and Drew Stanton split the reps in practice to fill in for Kitna. Orlovsky ...

Almost three years after the Lions filed a grievance against Charles Rogers, an arbitrator has finally made a decision on the case. That decision is that Rogers owes the Lions $8.5 million for violating his contract by getting suspended under the NFL's substance abuse policy.

There has been a great deal of discussion about Roy Williams' status with the Lions in 2009 and beyond. He is in the final year of his contract, and the Lions are going to have to decide what they want to do with him. The options range from re-signing him to franchising him, ...

The Curse of Bobby Layne came to an end recently. Layne was a quarterback for the Lions and helped the team win three league championships during his time in Detroit. He was inducted into the Pro Football Hall of Fame and really was the main cause of the Lions' success in the ...

Despite having the fourth lowest point total in the official POD fantasy football league this past week, I ended up winning to improve my record to 4-1 on the year. I lucked out for sure, as my opponent had both Deuce McAllister and Lance Moore playing in last night's game for the ...

In the Lions' first game after the firing
of Matt Millen, all fans were quickly reminded of
just how bad this team is. The Lions were dominated in all four quarters against the Bears on Sunday and lost 34-7. Detroit was lucky to ...
Via the Lions, below is what Rod Marinelli had to say after today's game. Try not to pound your head into a wall while reading the quotes.
Opening Statement: Just two injuries so far: we've got (Jon) Kitna, had back spasms and that's why we didn't bring him out in the second half, and ...
