Summary

The Lions remain a little thin right now at Defensive Tackle and a very big name is available. Christian Wilkins released by the Raiders as he continues to rehab a foot injury suffered last season. There is a lot of baggage with Wilkins, including a report today of an upset teammate of his before he was cut. Wilkins is just 29 and if healthy, fits the Detroit need. But will it happen? Might be too much baggage for a Brad Holmes run franchise. Also, Training Camp injury news, some early studs and dubs, and Johnny Mo talks about the center position and what the Lions offense will look like in 2025.
