Detroit Lions running back Jahmyr Gibbs is No. 5 overall in early Pro Bowl voting, though he's only No. 2 among RBs, behind the Colts' Jonathan Taylor.

Defensive coordinator Kelvin Sheppard accepted responsibility for the team's loss to the Packers on Thanksgiving. The first-year defensive coordinator indicated the team is still right where he likes it, viewing the team's situation as an opportunity instead of a struggle.

Detroit Lions safety Kerby Joseph has not played since a Week 6 loss to the Kansas City Chiefs. He practiced Monday, Dec. 1, in a knee brace.

Detroit took down the Giants, 34-27 in overtime, with Jared Goff throwing for 279 yards and two touchdowns on 28-of-42 passing. Running back Jahmyr Gibbs also had two rushing touchdowns and a receiving score in the victory.

Detroit's playoff life was never in doubt during last season's march to 15 wins, and the only question in 2023 was whether the Lions would clinch their first NFC North title — a feat they eventually did accomplish by topping the Minnesota Vikings on Christmas Eve.

Joseph was back on the practice field with a big brace on his left knee. St. Brown, Raymond, Arnold and Wright were not spotted. Detroit also opened the return window for a depth TE.

Recent years have seen the Lions work out several big-ticket extensions with their core players. Running back Jahmyr Gibbs could be the next in line to receive a notable payday.

The Detroit Lions, led by quarterback Jared Goff, face the Green Bay Packers, led by quarterback Jordan Love, on Thursday, Nov. 27, 2025 (9/7/25) at Ford Field in Detroit, Michigan.

Branch has been fined in back-to-back games and now five times this year. There were three Lions fined altogether from the Week 12 game against the Giants.
