No passport required this season, folks. On Tuesday, the NFL dropped the full list of International Games for the 2025 season, and as expected - actually, as we were already 99.9% sure of - the Detroit Lions are not on the list. While other teams will be packing their bags and crossing the Atlantic (and beyond), Dan Campbell's crew will remain stateside, focused on defending Ford Field and finishing business in the NFC. So, Who's Going Global in 2025?

The deal is expected to be completed Wednesday, per sources.

A terrifying moment at Truist Park silenced the crowd Monday night. Tyler Callihan - a promising young rookie for the Cincinnati Reds - suffered a brutal injury while trying to make a highlight-reel play in left field. The 24-year-old broke his forearm on a diving catch attempt against the Braves, and the footage is not for the faint of heart. It happened in the third inning when Matt Olson sent a deep drive toward left.

It was a blunt, no-nonsense assessment from Detroit Red Wings GM Steve Yzerman last week during his end-of-season press conference.

This year, they had a save percentage of just .896, tied for 20th overall.

The Detroit Lions made plenty of noise this offseason-reloading through the draft, bringing in fresh faces, and continuing to build a contender. But let's be honest: there's still a lingering question when it comes to the edge opposite Aidan Hutchinson. Sure, the Lions added Boise State's Ahmed Hassanein in the sixth round. And yes, Marcus Davenport is in the mix.
