Locked On Lions - Daily Podcast On The Detroit Lions

The Lions hit the field on Friday for Organized Team Activities and the big question is: Will Alex Anzalone be there?

A veteran LB that could be a fill-in for now? Cunningham was a second round pick by Houston back in 2017 but his best years are behind him....

The "Tush Push" play that the Philadelphia Eagles have made so famous is staying and that is good news for the Lions. Detroit was one of the 10 teams that opposed banning the play.
